In Part 2, Tyronn Lue discusses LeBron James at length — their dynamic in Cleveland, the trust he built with the Cavs, how he guided them to beat the Warriors, and why calling out LeBron in the Finals made him mad but ultimately stronger. He reflects on the LeBron & Kyrie Irving duo, the failed Derrick Rose and Dwyane Wade experiment, trying to trade for Paul George in Indiana, and whether LeBron might return to Cleveland.
From Ben Simmons’ struggles to thoughts on today’s stars like Steph Curry, Jayson Tatum (his cousin), Anthony Edwards, and Kyrie Irving, Lue gives honest takes on the league now versus when he played. He shares his admiration for Kevin Garnett’s trash talk, Rajon Rondo’s fiery personality, and what he’s learned working under Clippers owner Steve Ballmer.
Finally, Lue opens up about his health battles, only getting three hours of sleep, and picking the ultimate starting five of his teammates. From Kobe and Shaq’s dynasty to LeBron’s greatest era, Tyronn Lue delivers unforgettable stories, sharp basketball insight, and a masterclass on what it takes to win in the NBA.
