"While I am disappointed by LeBron's decision to leave Miami, no one can fault another person for wanting to return home. The last four years have been an incredible run for South Florida, HEAT fans, our organization and for all of the players who were a part of it. LeBron is a fantastic leader, athlete, teammate and person, and we are all sorry to see him go.

Over the last 19yrs, since Micky and I teamed together, The Miami HEAT has always been a championship organization; we

they didnt prove anything. wade is the sole reason berns went there. berns is the reason they got those fa from 2013-2014

[OnFire]

What about Bledsoe now that the Suns traded for Thomas. Or Stephenson just to F with lebron.

[Crimsonrain777]

They are. They run things like the Spurs. They have just always been under the radar until the big 3 happened. I'm not saying they are good as the Spurs, but you get the point.

[MavsSuperFan]

Lebron making everyone happy:applause: :bowdown:

[navy]

I Guarantee the Heat will win another championship before the Cavs.



Comic Sans for the Gilbert fans.

Instead of funding that f'n baseball and football stadiums we should invest a 1% sales tax into figuring out how to make a Pat clone or download him into a super computer or something.

[J Shuttlesworth]

This shows the difference between Pat Riley, and a dude like Dan Gilbert :lol

No. Besides the fact that he chucks, ball stops, doesn't play defense, doesn't pass, and is horrendously inefficient...

I want to see a real team, no more confections of stars.

Is this a thing now?

[ArbitraryWater]

The Heat have handled all of this with pure class imo.

:lol

Ya, It's going to be sad day when Riley rides off into the sunset, and heads back to Malibu. I'm hoping Nick Arison knows what's doing, once he takes the reigns.

[Droid101]

Is this a thing now?
Yeah, totally about as popular as "deauxrant."

Asshole.

this serves another purpose, promotion of the name brand. free agents know they will be treated well if they decide to come to miami

Just pointing out that his "nice statement" is a pile of crap.

[oh the horror]

Was just going to say that.

[oh the horror]

Just pointing out that his "nice statement" is a pile of crap.


Probably. But the point is when you represent a company at that level you operate with professionalism even if you're in a tight spot.

[Crimsonrain777]

Just pointing out that his "nice statement" is a pile of crap.

the heat are two championships richer during Bran's tenure on our team. should Pat Riley have just forgotten about it while he was writing this statement?

[AintNoSunshine]

Lebron and the Heat deserve one another, Dan Gilbert on the other hand...

[SupermanOnSteroids]

Heat response (both Riley and Mickey) much much classier than Gilbert's.
