Not to be rude, but aren't you a Limo Driver?

 

[CarolinaKid]

Hines not sure what you talking about but no......ck

Sorry, but I can't say the same. Spent time with him at the NBA pre-draft Camp at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and among his peers, I thought he was one of the biggest Jerks.

Donnie Walsh, at the time with Pacers, now Bricks was the nicest guy. Also, Jay Bilas extremely nice as well.

Is Riley smart enough to multiply by 1.10?

Pat Riley will be your best friend until you are positioned for success. Then, right at the point where you think life can't get any better, he will swoop in like a thief in the night and kick you to the curb, so that he can get all the recognition. !~~~!

Stan Van Gundy still has the boot mark on his ass

This guy is great as a speaker in the business conference setting.

Does Pat know you chase "steam" at bad #s?

Ironic that this thread sits right above another thread entitled, "Do you think pro sports are fixed?" [Well, not after I bump it.]

By no means a good guy , prick pushed Van gundy out of the way to satisfy his greed for glory ..Yea Like he hadn't accomplished enough already...
Proud , and selfish are more like it; I guess when you're having a drink with a guy los of stuff get overlooked though , so I understand your position..

I don't know Pat Riley or anything about him personally, but HELLO... HE WON THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER HE BOOTED VAN GUNDY. So how can you criticize that???

Happy 67th Pat:

Pat Riley—1945

Along with Auerbach, the most over-rated coach of all time.

No way Miami wins Championship with Van Gundy so why does that make him a Jerk, right ? Riley did what needed to be done and that makes him smart the way I see it. I agree with your Post 100 %
