The NBA Is Lucky I’m Home Doing Damn Articles | The Players' Tribune

When I heard that Miami was interested in me this summer, I wasn’t really seeing it at first. Nothing against the Heat, but I didn’t know how I’d fit there.

Then I met Pat Riley.

I walked into his office and … damn. The hair was slicked back, and he was wearing one of those suits of his, you know, real O.G., looking like a million bucks. Behind him, he’s got photos of all his championship teams lining the walls. He’s wearing one of his nine rings.

He’s sitting there looking like De Niro in Casino. He’s looking like the boss. He’s looking like he’s seen it all, because he has.

Purely as a basketball fan, I just want to learn from this man.

So I listened.

He also talks about his relationship with KD

Damn this was a great read. Gave me a whole new respect for dion. him and James Johnson really embraced that heat culture .......sounds like they truly love pat riley. Hopefully we can bring em back.

Good article. Let's see if Riles mystique will get Waiters to sign a reasonable deal.

actual NBA players revere Pat Riley and have nothing but respect for him. It's only internet nerds who talk greasy about him
