Byron Scott played in the NBA for 15 years from 1983 to 1998. During his time playing in the league he played along all-time greats such as Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Reggie Miller. He won three NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1985, 1987, and 1988. After his playing career he got his first head coaching job for the New Jersey Nets in 2000. He took them to back-to-back NBA Finals and later went on to coach the New Orleans Hornets in 2004 where he won NBA Coach of the Year in 2008. Scott's style of coaching is a controlled, up-tempo paced style of offense with his primary focus on the defensive end. He has not yet won a NBA Championship as a coach but hopefully he will deliver on that with Cleveland in the near future.

Fan Blog: Byron Scott
The majority of this fan blog has been dedicated to the Cavaliers players and team, but none of their success would have come without coach Byron Scott. This is Byron Scott's second season coaching the Cavaliers in which he has not had the greatest success thus far. He came to the Cavaliers with the Lebron James decision up in the air and I think he made the decision thinking that it would sway Lebron's decision in Cleveland's favor. Regardless of not having James, Byron Scott has done as good as expected with the players he has had.
