Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway. Paul Pierce, it went viral for saying he's the best pure score. I mean, I mean, I mean, now it comes to mind, like maybe Kobe, maybe James Harden, Jordan, KD. Mm-hmm. That's it. He was a hell of a scorer. Yeah. And Pete was my guy. I mean, he's my guy. Right. We came out in the draft together in 98.
On the lockout year, we worked out together, Englewood High School, every single day. Like, that's my guy. But he said some crazy stuff sometimes. But no, I mean, I'll take it away. Like I always say, Just because Bron's great doesn't mean KD isn't great. Right. Yeah. And Pete Pierce was a great scorer. Right. Footwork, post, on the elbows. Right. Catch and shoot threes. He could do it all.

Chapter 2: What challenges did Lue face when taking over as head coach?
Because the matchup was crazy, but we knew how we wanted to switch. We got a deflection, so the ball goes out of bounds. So they called the second play they'd run, ATL-wise for need three, and guys go to different matchups. And Draymond was like, man, what the? Like, it messed them totally. So then we win the game. So the next day, I was like, see, that's why we're working.
He said, man, you was right. And we worked on it for like eight days before the series started. And then every day we worked on a need three, and they talked trash to me. Man, we ain't going to never use this. This is stupid. And then end of the game, we needed it. How were you able to earn the players' trust in Cleveland so quickly? I would say
Being around the players I coach and play with, I think that's one. I think winning, I think, was something. And then I think just having a relationship with Bron. I think having a relationship with Bron really set the tone for everybody else. And I had a relationship with J.R.
Chapter 3: How did Tyronn Lue build trust with LeBron James?
when he first came to the league. He used to come work out with us in Vegas. So I knew J.R. But the other guys I didn't know, like you said. But having Bron's respect and having a friendship with Bron that really helped me earn the respect of everybody else in the locker room. You're the first coach in NBA history to win his first 10 postseason game. Did you know that? Yeah.
I don't think that's going to be broken. Somebody almost broke it recently. They did? Almost. When you good, they got to start over again. Somebody almost broke it first year. I can't remember who it was. Was it ā let me see. Was it Missoula? Did they go ā Yeah, you might be right. Yeah, I think he broke it or got closer, tied or something. I don't know. I mean, it was right there.
I know that happened. I read a story that you're ā is this true about the money that you put up in the ceiling? Yeah. Or you made that up? No, it's true. You knew after winning game five that you guys were coming back for game seven. Yeah. Because you didn't feel there was no way they could beat you in game six in your building. I didn't think so.
And so after game five, our owners and, you know, front office people, they all in the locker room. Everybody's going crazy. We hype, whatever. So I walk in the locker room. I said, all right, everybody give me $200. I was like, what? I was like, everybody give me $200. I'm going to put it in the ceiling. And we're coming back for game seven and get our money. Oh, yeah, they're going crazy.
So everybody gives $200, $200. The owner, Dan Gilbert, Nate Forbes, they all give money. Put it up in the ceiling. But I got it from Doc, because Doc did it. We played the Lakers in L.A. Christmas Day, and they blew us out. And Doc said... Listen, y'all remember this. Remember how it feels because we're going to play them in the NBA finals and we come back to get our money.
And we put it, hid it in the attic. I mean, in the ceiling. Right. Came back and it was there. And Doc passed the money out. The only difference with me, I kept it. Come on, D. Lou. I'm going to tell you how crazy Brian is, how tight he is. So we win the championship. We just won. Man, they in the locker room. They spraying champagne. Brian like, man, where that 200 at? I'm like, come on, man.
We just won. You won by 200. I said, man, I think this ball boy stole it. It ain't in there no more. You know what I'm saying? So I kept that. I deserved it. I deserved it. Man, come on, Brian. 200. He wanted it. He wanted it back. He wanted it back. I wasn't giving it back to him. There have been whispers about LeBron possibly returning to Cleveland.
Do you think he's going to return to Cleveland? Before you answer that, are you surprised? This is the first time in LeBron's career LeBron James is on an expiring contract. I'm surprised by that. I mean... I mean, this is a player that, like, he's... He gave you 24, 8, and 7 last year. And he's changed the game.
Like, he's made it to where these guys are able to go to whatever teams they want to go to. Yes. And, like you said, build their careers and do... Like, he was the one to take that first step. Yes. You know, and so... He took all the heat. All the heat, you know, to get to this point where now you see everybody's doing it. You know, and he paved that way. Yeah.

Chapter 4: What are Tyronn Lue's thoughts on today's NBA stars?
versus the world, isn't it? Yeah. So, Jokic, Luka, Giannis, Embiid, Shea, gonna be Steph, KD, LeBron, Book, yeah. And what's the... If they win, then what? No, we want to see some action. Man, we always had a 200. Somebody almost scored 200 points in the All-Star game. No, I'm saying, but it's like in baseball, if you win, like, you know. Well, that's what you should do.
We should go back to the East-West and the winning side get home court advantage. No matter what the record is, whoever wins the All-Star game gets the home court advantage. Right. And you'll start playing. Yeah. Because, come on, them Jokers shooting 73s. I mean, I don't know, man. However Adam Silver's going to fix it is going to be great because, like I said, he makes sure he does a great job.
So I believe in him. It's been a while since we had an American boy MVP, T. Lou.
Chapter 5: How does Tyronn Lue view the impact of injuries on team performance?
It's been a minute. I mean, Jokers got three, Giannis has got two, Embiid's got one, now we got Shea. Maybe not as a whole, but is the world catching up with us as far as basketball? Not overall, because each player is from a different country. But they are getting better. Yeah, they're getting better. You know, it ain't a foregone conclusion, 28. Now, you do realize that, right?
Because think about what it took.

I'm Ashley Reitfeld, and I'm the host of the Women's Skateboarding Podcast, Good Luck With That. Good Luck With That is a skateboarding podcast that is part cultural record, part news brief, mostly group therapy, and a place to talk about the past, present, and future of women and gender expansive skateboarding.
This week, me and my co-hosts, Nora Vasconcelos and Alex White, we have Fabiana Delfino on the show, a professional skateboarder from Florida whose grit was forged in a family of athletes. Tune in to hear how she broke into the boys club, what it takes to be pro, and why just being grateful you're here shouldn't be the price of entry.
Maybe the industry thinks that we just started skating five years ago because that's when they maybe started paying attention. It's a no-fluff conversation about putting in the years, stacking clips and receipts, and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up. You break down the door, sick, now, like, hold the door for everyone.
We created Good Luck With That because we want to share our experience of existing in an industry that wasn't always built for everyone. So listen to Good Luck With That on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

T. Lou, it took Herculean effort, T. Lou. No. T. Lou. Basketball still comes through here. T. Lou. It took LeBron, it took KD, and it took Steph. Okay. That's why we the best. They're not going to be there at 28. How many MVPs LeBron got? Four. How many KD got? One. Steph? Two. Okay, there you go. You try to have them around for 28? No, I'm just saying.
I'm just saying, like, that's why we're the best players in the world. I mean, they have, like, Joker. Like, they have great players, too. Right. What I'm saying is they're not going to be able to catch us because it's one or two guys in each country. Right. Like, we're one place. Right. And we have all the talent. We have all the skill. We have all the athleticism.
But like I said, they are really good. I mean, they're great. Because they're playing because the thing is, T. Lou, is that The Germans, they've been playing together their whole life. Right. The Slovenians, the Serbians, the Lithuanians, Australians, they've been playing together. 10 years old. Yes!
We come together for two weeks, we come to Vegas for two weeks, practice, then we go to somebody new, play like three exhibitions, and then they go play. Right. Now, I do think Wimby... Oh, yeah. Wimby, I think, but I don't know, man. I just, y'all, we... No, we're the greatest. We got this at 28? Yes. Okay. Yeah, for sure. I'm going to check out a game now.
You can rewind the tape in three years and say, you know what? But no, we're going to win. You were on the staff at the Clippers when Shea was there. No. You were there. No, I was in ā when Shea got there, I was ā You was still in Cleveland. Yeah, I was in Cleveland. Doc said he pleaded with them, said, look, this guy gonna be special. Don't trade him.
But to appease Kawhi, you had to, because Kawhi's like, I ain't got time. I need somebody that's proven. PG was proven. He's been an all-NBA player, can play both ends of the court. But watching him, I mean, watching Shea, did you know Shea was gonna be this? No. No, I didn't. And we talked about it all the time, and you know, 30 GMs or presidents or whatever, even like,
If it would have been done all over again, I mean, I would have done the trade, too. Yes. Like, PG was second in MVP voting. Yes. Like, two-way player. Like, it was like Jordan Pippen. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And Shea, like I said, he was a really good young player, but you didn't know he was going to be this. Right.
You know, and I think it was the best thing for Shea because Shea would have stayed with the Clippers. He wouldn't be. He wouldn't be. Yeah, he wouldn't have been. He wouldn't have had the ball in his hand like that. Exactly. And so he was able to grow and figure it out, have his own team. Yes. And, like, I mean, anything hindsight 2020, you can say, oh, I would have never done that. Right.
