19. Ty Lue, Cleveland Cavaliers

We know the jokes. This should be LeBron James, not Ty Lue. Cute. Even though having LeBron James on the roster definitely helps Lue and the Cavs, I don’t think we can act like he had no factor in Cleveland winning the NBA championship.

After all, it’s not like the Cavs beat any ordinary team. Cleveland was the underdog and beat an all-time great team. It was quite amazing.

Let’s give Lue some credit here. Maybe the Cavs are here regardless, but the job Lue did in the NBA Finals, especially when the team went down 3-1 can’t be overlooked. Checking in at No. 19 could even be viewed as a bit disrespectful. After all, this is an NBA Champion.

Next: No. 18
