“You can say F you to me, but you better teach me something about why you’re saying it”. What an incredible mentality. A certified legend, born leader, and a gentleman. Major respect for Pat.
😅
The man looks like a rock star. Has aged VERY well.
Michael Johnson $$$ A living GOD $$$
Wish I could say the same about the gravy vampire interviewing him😂
He looks > OLD .. "very"
I can't believe I am saying this. I like Pat Riley. As a Celtics and Pacer fan I like Pat Riley.
This man was Mr. GQ back in the day. The Armoni suits and the dark slicked back hair, he personified that 'hollywood' look while coaching the Lakers.
Pat Riley is like the Robert DeNiro of the NBA.
Facts
“You talkin,” to me?”
Nah he is the Al Pacino of this Game
Agree 100 %
Scary dude and a romantic.
How quickly he said 85 gave me chills
Bailey Charlton he said that with no hesitation whatsoever, Jerry West has said that the ‘85 Championship was his favorite as well because it came against a team that had tortured him for years.
Same here. And I remember that Sunday afternoon (June 9, I think) with pleasure.
@@jackkitchen737 As I too remember that Sunday afternoon watching the Lakers get that azz right there in the Garden. After giving the same team a gift the year before in what should have been as Larry Legend stated- a sweep. We will never see again a championship series with the best player on the court ( & best ever imo) dominating at 38 years young. Man, that next day at 15 , that Monday going to my summer job felt GOOD! The team of the 80s & this 85 championship just was the best.
To me, the Magic-Bird-Jordan year’s was the golden era of the NBA.
But when when Pat won Miami’s first title in 2006, he said in the post game he would trade all of the championships with the Lakers for that one because of the 18 year chase...So he must have changed his mind.
This is what real journalism looks like. Good job ESPN. Credit where credit is due
xwers1234 is this one of your burner accounts LeboLard??
good job dan*
On of the most charismatic people in the history of NBA.
Him and Chuck Daly imo.
Of course!
Your mom?
The most
Jeff Van Gundy was more charismatic
How can you not like this guy. He's tough, a winner, a romantic, competitive, empathetic and he's not afraid to own up to his mistakes and say sorry. What else can you ask from someone?
Let's be honest he's too romantic
This man is legit. What a boss. Just a true winner.
This guy is a legend. Married to his wife since the 70s...championships...so much class ! ...the pain on his face when he was talking about his dad : (
Riley was a rotation player on one of the greatest teams ever - the 1972 Lakers that won 33 games in a row, went 69 and 13, and starred Jerry West and Wilt.
And Baylor!
Khong Lo Baylor retired that year a few games into the season.
@@jingqi9106 still part of the team
@@splashnskillz37 For a few games anyway.
riley was the executive aka gm for the 2nd longest win streak team in history the 27 win heat as well....he played with jo jo white wilt west goodrich he coached magic nixon wilkes kareem worthy mcadoo ewing wade shaq zo he brought in bosh wade ray butler.....he is the greatest
“I’m not gonna let anyone take away from me what I’ve worked so hard to get” bad ass quote from Riley
This guy should've won the lifetime achievement award
Im his Niece! So proud! The reason why his parents didn't attend any games in Kentucky was due to lack of finance, they struggled but were able to provide housing, food and reassurance. My Grandparents were Beautiful 😍
If you ever have a chance please let him know I'm a Heat fan because of how he runs this organization. It's relieving to know I can trust they'll always do what's best for Miami without mortgaging the future.
the only guy that lebron couldn't push around
Too gangster for that fake ass bitch.
Its not like bron played for other legends
True dat
He would melt like the SNOWFLAKE that he is if he tried to..... just like in game 1 of the 2014 finals
say something else boy
Pat Riley is a goat NBA personality. What a passionate Son of a gun ! Love him
He’s an intimidating personality. Could’ve been a mob boss in a different life
What do you mean? He's the Godfather of dem Goons in Dade county.
I think he's very misunderstood and would treat anyone good person like his best friend
@@sayros6711 crazy part about what you said, I actually believe you haha
Yeah, I always thought of him as someone who could have ties to the mob, or wouldn't surprise me if he did.
Shhh he is in this life.
The ultimate respect was Michael Jordan telling him you are every bit the competitor I am.
Round Robin you must be a bron nuthugger
What an amazing career. He almost took my knicks to the promised land. Thanks coach Riley!
The Knicks had two SQUADS in '93 and '94 and it's a shame neither got a ring. Btw, I'm not even a Knicks fan
Subpar backcourt was no match for their superior frontcourt.
If the Cubs won a World Series
The Knicks will win a NBA Championship eventually
@@somerandomguy84 Knicks fans will forever hate Hakeem
@@splashnskillz37 knicks are winning 2079 nba finals then
Averaging no more than 22 minutes or 11 points a game… playing on the same team as Wilt Chamberlain? Are you kidding? You call hanging in the NBA for this long a failure? Perspective, man. The man made a living out of playing basketball professionally and that time spent on NBA teams led to a Hall-of-Fame coaching career then executive and minority owner of an NBA team. Everything counts, just seeing old footage of Riley in a Laker uniform is surreal. That's stuff of legend, right there. Shouldn't be discounted in any way…

Dude, he was saying at that moment in his life, he didnt have such an illustrious career that held any distinction. No one could've predicted he would go on to do what he did. No one could've guessed it. But at that moment, when he retired as a player, it was an average career, not hall of fame worthy or talk worthy.
I think he was alluding more so to his depression post-playing career, than his success as an athlete.
Riley had a nice jump shot
73 years old with that physique? What a disciplined guy!
7 finals in his first 8 years. Damn.

This is one of the most clear-cut figures I grew up watching the NBA. Phil Jackson, Greg Pop & this man r the definitions of fighting men. 3 Wise Men.
I love Phil but he ain’t half the man Pat is
Mrceo
Phil has more championships as a coach.
Pat Riley out here living his best life
Glad he stuck with us here in Florida.
A man's man, classy guy too.
Legend.
When he spoke about his daughter moment, my eyes watered, really felt that
I know it must be such a good feeling to have 💕💕💕💕💕
Pat Riley is a UNICORN....nobody in the NBA has his passion !! This man cares then he cares even more...its a beautiful thing to see how this wonderful coach leaves everything he has on the court. I’m a Celtics fan for 40 years but i love this man’s passion and grit. What an amazing teacher, coach and leader.
Wish this was twice as long. Fascinating human. Amazing to see him so vulnerable. I grew up watching Riley pace the floor of the old Miami Arena. I loved pointing out how his side of the court was more faded than the visitor’s side. He always looked so fierce patrolling the sidelines.
That was intentional.
More of this espn.
ESPN canceled it
@@latortugapicante719 really? In place of what feminist SJW politics
My respect for Pat Riley doubled when he schooled LeBron about being a team player and respecting his coach by not letting him to bully Eric Spoelstra. That was huge!
That is awesome to know! And I always thought LeBron needed that....in LA now. And any others
Thank you saying that..there are a lot ppl who don’t know that story about his coach .. Spo
Pat Riley would fine his players at NY if they helped opponents off the floor when they fell down. He was a one tough hombre back in the day.
Pat knows the game, never doubt his competitive nature, he's a fighter...
What a beautiful man, Pat Riley looks pretty good too
Thank you for saying the ‘85 title was the sweetest. You taught that team how to win. Boston made them tough, you made them great. Thank you coach.
Pat Riley is the greatest basketball coach ever.
I will always love LeBron James for the four magical years he spent in Miami but to think that he and his team of friends knew more or better than Pat Riley is crazy and he got only one more Championship to leave think how many more he could have had if he just stayed and did the work through the tough times and listened and learned even more from the legendary hall of fame basketball genius that is Pat Riley🐐🐐
Can you really blame Bron for leaving Miami for Cleveland? He owed a championship to Cleveland
The four greatest years in NBA history.
Pat should've coached then!
@@JohnSmith-bt8qp??? To YOU, maybe - but nothing remotely close to what the Boston Celtics accomplished for the better part of 30 years. That's THIRTY YEARS, not four years.
@@karanvinod2593 bron didn't owe Cleveland shit lol tf you mean
Love Pat Riley brought a winning attitude wherever he went even though as a Heat fan must admit he would rather make the playoffs every season than have a draft pick
They'll always be good coaches in the NBA but they will never ever be another Pat Riley he's a Visionary and well ahead of his time
Pat Riley is the type of coach LeBron always needed in his career! Pat Riley is that Tough dog that's not playing around with LeBron foolishness.!!
Lol lebron left miami because of him, riley wouldn't let bron tell him what to do
@@nate9347 I thought he left because of his wife
@@ShogunX11 Lebron left because Wade's knees were shot, and the Cavaliers had Kyrie Irving, and the #1 overall pick in the draft and enough assets to get Kevin Love. That's why he left. To get a younger superteam.
@@bio2020 Yeah then they got injured.Lebron has had some bad luck in injured or decline co stars
Lebron left because he couldn't control the franchise like he did in Cleveland or like he is running/ ruining the Lakers..
he' s Michael Corleone from the Godfather, such a classy guy
I’d say he’s more Vito then Michael, but both Make sense
Got damn it Riley The Knicks biggest mistake was letting him go
Agree. All he asked for was for management to let him get another scorer to take some of the load off of Mr. Ewing. I'm convinced that had they done that, those loyal Knicks fans would have celebrated a couple of championships with Riles driving his foot up a team's azz as only he could. Hell a bucket or two there and they get one in that game seven against the Rockets.
@@MrNewktrane The Knicks honestly could have/should have won in '93 and '94. Nothing against Jordan, nothing against Dream, but I think those Knicks were just a little damn unlucky (similar to the 80s Bucks, 00s Kings, 00s Suns, and 10s Clippers).
@@somerandomguy84 Agree! Especially with that Bucks 80s team comparison. A great, great team led by one of the best b-ballers I've ever seen- Mr. Sidney Moncrief- who's still not in the media-selected hall of fame. I still consider that squad Don Nelson's best team ever. Sidney was a direct reflection of that team- hard working night in night out. And when they added Paul Pressley as their 'point forward' & Ricky Pierce- wow! But timing is a hell of a thing as the East was TOUGH as nails then & like that Knicks team, management should have pulled the trigger on an additional scorer to give those 76ers, Celtics, Pistons, etc... something else to deal with. Of course if the great Bob Lainer's knees were in prime 70s form, perhaps the 80s team gets a championship or two.
@@MrNewktrane You couldn't be more wrong. He asked for a piece of the team and the Knicks were owned by corporations so it wasn't gonna happen but why let facts get in the way of your stupidity
@@TL2354 corporation have share options they give those that are at the ownership table.
73 and looks great!!!
Pat Riley makes people offers they can’t refuse.
Amazing way to spent 20 minutes of life for a basketball fan. Great job ESPN.
9 time nba champion coach
1 as a player in 72, 5 as a coach 82,85,87-88, 06, 2 as a team executive/GM, 12-13
Nevermind in 80 he was an assistant coach to Westhead
@@guillermovazquez1084 fr tho
And couldn't get the best of MJ.
What place does Riley hold as coach and GM?
What an epic conversation. Bravo!! Excellent piece
Pat is the Carlo Gambino of basketball.
Dan is such a great interviewer... one of the most talented guys in the business
You are fuckin clueless
@@paulpatane2439 If you can't see that greatness in this interview, one of the best I've ever seen, then you're the one with the problem, Paul. This is straight up a fantastic interview, with all the right questions.
11matt11 best interview from ESPN in awhile, reminded me of the old days of ESPN
@@daviddhoughton it was a good interview because hes talking to a Top 3 coach ever in the NBA and a fuckin legend. Listening to Dan L talk on his daily show on sports or regular talk is more boring than reading a phone book. Hes a dope that is stealing money at ESPN.
Pat Riley is a motivational man. He's done it all. Seen it all. Yet he was never afraid to be wrong. That is something not all of us can achieve. We should all be like Pat Riley. Don't be afraid to be wrong. Just do it!
Dude is 74 and acts like he is 30's! This is how everyone should age!
The Journalism skill of Dan on display. This should be a weekly show.
I don’t say this often but this dude is an absolute f’in legend. Lifelong Bulls fan but I’ve always highly respected The Godfather.
He looks like freaking Tywin Lannister
Maurice Lingard move along ya wee lad
Yepp
@Maurice Lingard game of thrones lol
Had to look it up. Yes, he does. LOL!
No, Tywin Lannister looks like Pat Riley
Pat Riley is the Gordon Gekko of the NBA.
back in the late 80's and early 90's Riley always reminded me of a mobster from Scorsese movies
I think we can all agree that Pat looks more healthy since retiring as a coach you can see that he is no longer stressed and that he is no longer burdened
Huge amount of respect for Pat, great coach, and a legend.
This was GREAT. Should've been an hour.
He gives his life to Basketball; no matter the cost. It took a lot of his heart and soul and I think he got a lot of his wisdom and strength from losing
Pat Riley is a what you call a man's man. One of the greatest coaches in the NBA.
My all time Coach Pat "BADAZZ" Riley!!!!
Mr Pat Riley......I LOVE YOU. You were as big apart of the 80's Show-time Lakers as there ever was. You are in my top 2 GREATEST COACHES OF ALL TIME - IN ALL SPORTS. God bless you....all i can say....is...Your made of "The Right Stuff"....
I hope riley lives long 😥 he is Miami along with dwade I hope he can bring one more chip before he departs.
Wade is nothing without Riley Miami fans dont understand this concept
@Michaelveli9 as will the Miami Heat without him
Notice how quickly Pat Riley said which, championship was his favorite. No hesitation, he said The 1985 championship was his favorite. It happened to be against The Boston Celtics. Heart And Passion.
As a Lakers fan, Pat Riley will always be my favorite coach.
He was a great coach and lucky to have the team he did! His ego got in the way at the end but it happens to the best of us!
Showtime Forever!!!!
I always thought the inspirational coaches in movies were BS but then I saw Pat Riley and yeah, they do exist.
Being a solid bench player on a great team, and sticking around the league for years is NOT a "failure" of a career.
Let me add. We moved from Illinois to Miami a few years ago. I only knew Dan. As a fill in on PTI and I mostly rolled my eyes at him. Fast forward to commuting into Aventura M-F and I discovered the show. It’s not just sports everyday. It’s smart, thoughtful and addicting.
Well said. Maybe one of the best sports radio shoes ever made - if not the best. Mainly because sports is just the backdrop of a fun silly-smart introspective radio sitcom. Crazy how much humor they can pack in a day, then make you cry one segment later. Just brilliant radio.
You get the show!
For game 6 of the 1985 Finals, I had to beg my mom to stay home from church because the game started early.
elwin38 Pat’s designer suits are overrated. They look just like other cheap looking suits.
Me too
When the Knicks lost this guy, everything just went downhill.
Yeah so sad...
Typical of NY fans: kill anything that works then feel nostalgia.
Thanks for not making this content exclusive to ESPN+.
9 times NBA champion, damn!!
19:52 I remember first watching this when it came out, and thinking how hopelessly stuck in mediocrity we were, and now the Heat are up 2-0 on the Celtics in the ECF. Riley is that guy.
The coolest coach and. Sharpe dressing of all NBA even! Now
I followed Pat Riley, Ive always been a huuge fan of his, he's the reason why I became a Miami heat fan, and traded for my favorite player ever, Alonzo Mourning.
Landed in LA and grew up in Alvarado and 6th street went to Belmont high and the Lakers saved a lot of our lives cause people loved to hoop and forget about dumb stuff. Left LA in 1998 to live in MIA , lived everywhere and slept at d beach in front of Nikky Beach which was Penrod's back in the days than go hack to LA. One thing that I became was a Heat fan even when the had Ronnie and that's it BUT then came the " The godfather" of basketball and the rest of the story you know. It is just another Heat Dynasty in the making. Thank You Coach from all B ballers everywhere in the world for you teaching a Culture of Hard work pays off.
This guy aged 50 years and looks significantly better looking than in the 70s.
Even though He defeated us Mavs in 2006 and he also looks like the goblin who made James franco go against spider man. This story hit close to home. Incredible.
Pat Riley always a class act. We were crashed when he left the Knicks as a coach.
and now, another milestone for pat rileys career, lakers vs heat NBA finals 2020
This man is a living legend, history incarnate.
The Lakers need this guy back
I use to work in Parking Operations at AAArena 2003-2006 and was lucky enough to see Pat Riley on a regular basis and painted his parking spaces in P1 Garage pay sucked but while in college it was the coolest job I have ever had!! Left after the 2006 Championship winning season parade!!
always admire this man, and respect him more after watching this. A family man, a loyal husband, and a great mind in the NBA. God bless you and your family sir.
I am really not a fan of Dan Le Batard, but he did a solid interview on this one.
He's actually a pretty brilliant journalist interviewer. On his radio shoe, he's playing a character. It's a hilarious show if you give it a chance.
Not really he kept exaggerating the details and twisting quotes
Dan Le Batard looks like he ate Bomani Jones
Man I loved those 90s Knicks teams. Sad we never got over the hump.
Jay Clemons Micheal Jordan wasn’t having it!!!!!!!! The east was all most impossible to win you had to go through the Celtics the bad boy Pistons and Phil Jackson had a dream team with MJ & Scottie Pippen & the Bulls bench could beat you with out Jordan!!!!! Reggie Miller lead the Pacers and if you survived all that you had to go out west and face Magic and the Showtime Lakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Knicks had a team but they was going against the greatest of all times in there prime!!!!!!!☹️
Pat Riley is a hero.
Thanks Pat for soooo many joyess memories
16:05.....Regardless of the outcome at the end of the season, winning it all, should be the ultimate goal those involved in the process should always keep in mind, not just qualify as I sometimes hear from some players and coaches. No wonder he's such a winner. Love this man.
18:10...Chills...Goosebumps.
Timeless man...and look how he shifts that manual muscle car...true bad ass. You can see why 3 young NBA superstars signed at the same time with him....sure knows how to make an impression. Other GM's were competing with this...Lebron was sold. Too bad he ran away because he couldn't handle the principles of a real alpha male.
He left because his principle was to finish what he started, and that task was bringing a title to his hometown. And Pat Riley understood it after he had time to reflect.
LeBron "ran away" to bring a championship to Cleveland.
Jonny Watts Lol yea ok
Fool. Bron went back home with Riley’s blessing.
He promised his city/state a pro title, not sure he ran haha
In 2020 he is BACK once again, against his old franchines! What a piece/segment. This was awesome!!
Played @ Kentucky. Played for the Lakers. Coached the Lakers. Coached the Knicks. Coached the Heat. Won multiple chips. He definitely has lived a charmed life.
that’s legendary guidance and advice... great interview
This was a great interview by Pat Riley... he allowed us to see what makes him tick and what he's all about which is why he's been able to succeed in his profession. I like how reflective he was in examining his decisions and I still say that the 1992 and 1993 Knicks made Pat Riley look terrible because those guys choked and 1994 and 1995 was worse because Riley isn't that type of a coach that chokes but those players were scared to win, yet they worked hard but scared of that championship pressure. As far as Miami, I do think his 1999 loss to New York was pretty-much a payback for that instigated fight in 1997 when the Knicks had Miami down and out and then 'it' happened... good for Miami bad for New York. I still think Miami should have been in the NBA Finals in 2005 and won back-to-back titles... the disgust in 2007 was sickening because those Miami Heat teams should have given more effort to Pat Riley. Pat Riley always succeeded, at times he didn't have the personnel that matched his ability to win yet all of his teams had Pat Riley's work-ethic aside from the 2007 Heat.
Nba commissioner Stern that Knix fan homer and his ref Knix lavetta rigged it for the Knix Knats to win against the Heat. I even saw that playoff game back in 1999. Look at how it worked out for the Knix Knats since. It goes to show cheaters never win. As it is also happening to another knix knat homer fan nba commissioner Adam Silver as he is cursing his Knix Knats more for also doing it. Pat Riley and the Heat both got the last laugh in the end.
This was a wonderful piece. We really need to get Pat Riley another championship in my Miami
The coolest coach that ever lived. I love this man.
SIR PATRICK JAMES RILEY WAS ANOINTED WITH THE BASKETBALL GODS TOUCH
4 Leaf Clover
special guy
Wowww, GREAT interview!! The icing in the cake is knowing his favorite championship is the '85 title with our Lakers. Also, enjoyed gearing about his upbringing, family & love of classic muscle cars! His smooth fashions inspired me, as well as his work ethic! Thanks & again,
GREAT piece!
Dude has so much swagger to him, it’s inspiring.
