00-01 Finals defended Iverson
Tyren Lue was born in Missouri in 1977 and was selected by the Nuggets with the 32nd pick in the first round in 1998, but then he and Tony Barty were traded to the Lakers, and then won two consecutive championships with the Lakers.

The Ghost Coach's tactic is to give the ball to James
