Pat Riley's statement on Lebron

[Ronnie Lott]

Jack McKinney would have had those titles if he wouldn't have had health issues. Riles would've still been sitting next to Chick

You ridin with "would'ves" huh?

 

[Roid Jones]

I don't think Riley's press conference would have upset LeBron, he said nothing that I found odd. Saying LeBron left because of that is to say he is a coward who runs when a challenge awaits him.

Just saying breh. Doesn't help that he and Westhead both took the offense that McKinney was installing and ran with it.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Riles is the only one in that org with balls.

 

[Roid Jones]

Riley is a tough dude (pause) and era has change,Riley tough love approach may have worked with Magic but Lebron was a different story.If Lebron rather run back to Dan Gilbert instead of Riley it's a reason.I think something big behind scenes went down.

Word is LeBron did not have the run of the place like he did in Cleveland.

 

[Roid Jones]

Harsh realities of Riles spitting that aggressive content got Miami in this uncomfortable position

Y'all really can't believe bron is that sensitive, lol

 

[jilla82]

Alright...Timmy is officially one of the GOATs in my mind.
Ima Stan that dude next season.

If Lebron was offended by that, then dude is mad sensitive. Riles was completely right. In life in general. You don't always run when shyt gets difficult

We don't know if Bron was offended by that or not and really have no basis to assume that he was. If he had gone anywhere else then it's one thing but he went back home. Home to an owner whose direct statements about him 4 years ago make what Riley said sound like flirtation. The Heat with Bron back and a couple tweaks would be locks for the 2015 Finals barring a major injury. Not exactly a difficult situation. They are certainly closer to a title right now (with Bron) than Cleveland. Didn't Riley encourage him to "run" in 2010? Why has no one provided a response for this yet? Seriously you got a team full of dudes that "ran" down there to win rings and now that dudes may be looking to "run" elsewhere it's a problem?

Like he did from Cleveland to Miami ? Why didn't Riley turn him down and say stay in Cleveland ? Riley was feeling himself too much . He forget why wade didn't want him coaching anymore ? How he left ny ? How he left the lakers ? Guy is a egotist

Ok first off, you gotta know your facts. Pat Riley was fired by the Knicks. He didn't "run" to miami

 

[madness]

@everyone who had to hold in their pat riley hate for years finally venting

 

[FTBS]

Who said he ran to miami?

You really gonna act like you never heard anybody suggest this? Point is if dudes were as loyal as Riley was saying they should be 75% of the team wouldn't have even been there in the first place.

 

[DStyles]

just watched the conference...half of it at least and theres something wrong with yall. What did he say that was wrong?

Not everybody can have a run like the Bulls did, winning championships isnt easy

Can I have a YouTube link please.
