Riley is such a snake.

Poor Laker fans.

Poor Laker fans.

I thought it was a dirty move in 2005-2006, and I think it's a dirty move now.


Not to sound over-confident, or y, but I still feel LA has a better team.

[IronMexican]

And this is the first year I have incentive to play with the Lakers on a franchise mode since 2k8.

It's not exactly opportunistic. Riley built (and continues to build) this freaking team. Why wouldn't he be the one to lead it? If Spoelstra was allowed to coach the team, it would be he who fell bass-ackwards into a sweet gig.

Source: Riley Will Return To Coach Heat

League sources have told the New York Daily News that Pat Riley will at some point replace Erik Spoelstra as head coach of the Heat.

"Pat won't come back for just Wade and Bosh, because that's not a sure thing in Pat's mind," said one Eastern Conference coach before Miami officially landed LeBron James.

"But with LeBron and those two, that's a sure thing for Pat. He will come back if they get LeBron."

Imagine that.......Riles wants the glory for himself. What a shock.

There's no way Wade, James, Bosh, and Miller took less to go play for Erik Spoelstra. Of course Riley's going to be back on the sidelines.

Stern has chosen a rapist to be the face of the League for at least five years now. If I were Wade or LeBron, I would greatly resent that.

These guys in Miami are not rapists. They're buds who are choosing - of their own free will - to play ball together. Guys do it every single day all over the country. You call a few buds and you play ball. Big whoop.

The League will ride this wave for the next five years, and it'll be just like the Bulls run in the 90's. The NBA will be more popular than ever.

And even though that s bag Stern had nothing to do with it, he'll laugh all the way to the bank.

Naw, Laker fans never sound overconfident or y. Or arrogant or en led or brainless or rapist-adoring or bandwagonning or posers or completely ignorant of real basketball.

And by the way, keep telling yourself that LA has a better team than Miami.

Come on now, aren't you being a little too harsh. Kobe is not a rapist, thats absurd. Yes revenues are going to increase if thats what you mean when you said Ill laugh my way to the bank, but Im not a s bag.

Very.

riley makes sense. he wants to quickly bind the superfriends together early and then hand over the reigns later. other than riley, there are only two other coaches left in the league that can do that can demand the same unquestionable respect, who are popovich and jackson. can't risk the chemistry not working out and egos clashing, riley will have to keep them in check.

America is a country in the world, it isn't the world. And I'm American too and know lots of people who don't give a about where Lebron ended up like all of us who just want to suck these players s, more power to the people who don't care a because we should give a about them either. BASEBALL is better sport
