Funny. Riley is a laker at heart. Never forget that. Interesting how celtics fans obviously hate la but we despise the heat. Ultimately it's bc they took the 2008 celtics blueprint of a big three and used collusion bc their single super star method couldn't beat us. They colluded to create their win big three and it was the only way a team like Boston could be overcome.
At the core of that manipulation was Riley. A laker. Arguably the most successful laker coach ever. The architect of show time.
Just funny how it all comes back to Boston and la.
Lebron was one of Riley's pawns. His queen if this were chess. It's not Lebron for why we despise Miami. He's only the figure head. It's actually Riley and his laker roots!
Speak for yourself. I don't despise the Heat--they're just a very good basketball team that happens to beat my favorite basketball team sometimes.
Historically--they've got the best player in the league, and at least one more HoF player. But who really cares about the Miami Heat? That's like people "hating" the Magic after they bounced us in the ECF a few years ago.
On the other hand, I respect the Lakers as a franchise. Between our two teams we own the most important rivalry in the NBA--who holds the most titles in NBA History. Once South Beach starts to get close to us in titles, wake me up... until then, who really cares about the Miami Heat?
