Met the Coach in Vegas once and he was one of the most humble kind people I have ever met.

I love Coach Ty Lue and his no-nonsense mindset when it comes to his brilliance in the coaching realm. He was one of the main reasons the Cavs won their first NBA Title. His knowledge and his strategy and faith in his players have always been in display and alignment with his character. He's definitely one of the great coaches in the NBA. I honestly don't have the Clippers going far in this season's postseason, but I definitely feel Ty will be the coach for Los Angeles going forward.

The biggest harden and kawhi hater on tv

[BigC-vijq]

At least Kawhi learned has 2 rings unlike Embiid

[mrshawterry]

I wish the best for K Leonard and P George with injuries, they're on different teams now, but they're smooth scoring young men.

[ricardobjj]

Coach Lue is the best coach in the NBA. The way he's able to adjust his lineups and get the best from his team and win when his stars aren't playing is great

[Ksp]

[lukekylestanley]

I would’ve liked to hear Tyronn Lue speak about Kobe, considering he won a championship with him and played 3 years with him

[jamerican-math-and-logic]

Excellent interview! SAS is killing it—it's about to hit a million subscribers. Even the trolls and his detractors can't help themselves but to show up in the comment section.

[BoscoeAlbert]

[BigC-vijq]

[arguseyed]

It is disrespectful to invite somebody then proceed to spend a big part of the interview talking about and hating on someone else.

[ranilcurry]

Great Clippers with Kawaii Leonard can be dangerous
