Tyronn Lue has had to put up with a lot of criticism in his short time as Cleveland Cavaliers head coach. There were those who thought that LeBron James got Blatt fired. But there's another conspiracy brewing out there that Lue was the ultimate perpetrator of the firing. He's heard the growing criticism and he responded with an interesting comparison.
"Look, they ridiculed Jesus Christ, so I'm certainly no exception," Lue told Cleveland.com. "I don't care what's being said. I know how loyal I was to Coach Blatt, and the people that know me understand that. I have no control over what people think. I have a job to do and I'm going to do my best."
That seems like a bit of an overly righteous analogy. I'm sure more people would be more likely to compare Lue to a certain disciple of Jesus, the man known as Judas. Think of him what you will, but he doesn't have time to be concerned with what you think.
It's part of the job. If I let what people said affect me, I wouldn't be here," Lue told Cleveland.com. "At the end of the day, I have a job to do, and hopefully we can do some great things together."
The Cavs are 6-3 under Lue and were 30-11 before Blatt was fired.
