Couldn't take the 2 seconds to copy and paste that?

Riley says LeBron never told him that he wanted Spoelstra out.

Yeah because LeBron would have had one of his managers send a passive aggressive text to Riley asking him to fire Spo

But but but LeBron is a coach killer and undermines the efforts of any and all coaches.



While I don't doubt that he is tough to deal with at times, this whole charade has gotten out of hand.

Pat Riley was the alpha dog for the Heat. The world's best basketball power isn't always the the alpha. Lebron could never have called the shots with Riley. Maybe that's part of why he left. Riley didn't need Lebron; Lebron needed Riley. I do believe Lebron deserved a better coach, but that was Wade's fault.

As if Riley would tell the media otherwise.

Well wouldn't it look bad if someone asked him about it and he didn't say a word? You think he was bored and took to Twitter and randomly said LeBron never had a problem with Spo?

Considering Riley's comments around draft time last year, this is pretty legit.

Man, Lebron is the most powerful sports figure ever. He can even get his former boss that he left at the altar to go to bat for him.

Only thing that bugs me about Lebron is he is proof that had the Hawks built a dream team around Dominique they would have stolen one or two from The Bulls.

Bingo

As much as Riley despises lebron, if this were true, he certainly wouldn't say so but he also certainly wouldn't come out and deny it. He would just remain silent and let Lebron keep looking bad.

There's no logical explanation as to why he'd say this if he believed otherwise.

Or maybe LBJ knew the Miami sink was shipping after losing to the Spurs in the Finals. Maybe he actually wanted to go back to Cleveland and win one for his city.

It's to the point for some that no matter what Riley says, Lebron tried to get rid of Spo.
