INDEPENDENCE: Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue spent his Monday evening serving turkey dinners to some of Cleveland’s less fortunate. That’s nothing new for Lue, who has been the driving force behind similar charitable acts around his hometown of Mexico, Mo., for years.
Lue is active in his hometown, from his annual Fourth of July party to the Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions centered around turkeys and toys. Lue has been handing out treats and surprises for years. He grew up so poor his family didn’t have a home phone. His mother never owned a car until he made it to the NBA.
