Tyronn Lue won an NBA championship in his first season as a head coach, replacing David Blatt in January of 2016.

Likely due to the greatness of LeBron James, Lue is often overlooked as one of the league's better head coaches.

“You have to get them to buy into your plan, your vision. You must have a shared vision," said Lue about the difficulty of coaching superstars.

“The players run the league,” Lue said. “This is not college, where the coach runs it. It’s not overseas. This is the NBA, so when you have those great players, they run the league. If they’re not happy with you, you’ll be gone.”

Assistant coach Larry Drew explained the perils of coaching a star like James.

“It starts with the coach’s ability to relate to players,” Drew said. “A great coach has to know players, know how to put players in a position to be successful and has to know how to adjust.”
