Pat Riley called LeBron James the greatest player of all time.

Nice to see the beef between Riley and LeBron is over. Heat might retire his jersey someday.

[scuzzy]

damn, another 80's-90's legend who coached against both Jordan and Lebron

Poor MJ stans desperately sifting through 1970's yearbook photos and quotes from Riley in search of anything to discredit him


Who's going to sprint in wagging that tail first, Lost Cause or Phoenix?

You've got to atleast be accurate.
He was asked about the Heat squad that he put together, including his biggest piece (Lebron) who gave him 2 titles. He still didn't want to say that Lebron was the greatest ever and therefore said "maybe the greatest ever".

Meanwhile, we know that he's stated matter of factly that Jordan is the greatest ever, with no caveat, despite the fact that Jordan never played with him but instead denied him many titles.

i find it quite unfair how they leave Kobe out of these discussions

[FKAri]

The full quote was devastating. I agree with Pat but he didn't need to call MJ a sackless bitch. That was uncalled for.

[ArbitraryWater]

but but but only internet nerds call him GOAT


now 80-90s godfather riley who had beef with him calls him GOAT

[Stanley Kobrick]

This is the only taco bran stans will ever get to see

[DoctorP]

Riley trying to sell the Heat to LeBron already?

[jstern]

So like Feeny said. Riley on Lebron a player with a long history with him, who was part of the Miami Heat organization: "Maybe, could be possible, maybe yes, who knows, he's the GOAT. And Magic too." About Jordan, "Even though he never played for us, prevented us from going to the Finals. With the power invested in me by the Miami Heat we are going to retired Michael Jordan's number. No Miami Heat player will ever get to wear number 23. Not even Lebron James."

Well, how holier-than-thou do you think riley can ever be?

[Spurs m8]

The funniest part is, MJ cut Riley up so badly that Riley still obviously hasn't recovered
