No matter the sport, one common theme involving the relationship between players and coaches is that the head honcho is to be treated with respect.
That hasn’t been happening in Cleveland since David Blatt was fired, though.
On Tuesday, LeBron James literally stood up on the sideline and began coaching the team, something you won’t normally see. Even at 38 years of age, Tyronn Lue is still the head coach and doesn’t deserve to be upstaged.
But it didn’t stop there. Lue was also used as a towel rack by Iman Shumpert during that same game. During a stoppage of play, Shumpert threw his towel on Lue’s shoulder. Whether he meant anything or not, that’s a sign of utter disrespect.
Lue clearly didn’t deserve that sweaty towel tarnishing his fresh suit, that’s for sure.
