Tyronn Lue

Coming from a small town of Mexico, Missouri, we got 11,000 people. Never seen a celebrity.

I've been collecting jerseys and shoes my whole career.

I have a job to do, and I'm going to do my best.

I want to win, and I know I'm supposed to win, but I think the biggest thing for me is I have to do the best job I can do but then also enjoy it.

My job as the associate head coach was to make sure the head coach has everything he needs. That's my job. Whatever he needs me to do and whatever I see fit to do to help the team win.

I just can't put the pressure on of winning a championship, winning a championship, because then I'd never be able to sleep.

You can tell a guy the truth, and they might hate you for that day, but they'll come back that night and text you, like, 'You know what? You were right.' I just think if you tell guys the truth, they can respect you more.

I've started. I've come off the bench. I've not played. I've been on the worst team in the NBA. I've won championships.

I was just a young kid out of Mexico, Missouri, and then Kansas City, having an opportunity to play at the University of Nebraska, where I grew as a man.

It's tough coming out of Nebraska, where you're the man and you have to score, to going to the guy that sets the team up and being a role player.

Being broke and poor - I mean, you grow up in the environment I grew up in, grew up hard and grew up poor. Your mom doesn't have a car until you make it to the NBA... no telephone. So, I mean, if you grow up like that, and you're able to make it to this level and be blessed the way I've been blessed, it's always great to give back.

The Stepover definitely made me famous. The thing with Allen Iverson is, he made me.
