Pat Riley on Lakers' NBA Finals win over Heat: 'There will be always be that asterisk'

In an interview with the Miami Herald, Riley was asked about the Heat’s six-game Finals loss. While he praised the Lakers and said they beat the Heat “fair and squarely,” he also used the word “asterisk.”
Reflecting on the six-game Finals loss, he said: “I would like to see what it would be like with everybody whole. We’ll get our chance again. The Lakers have the greatest player in the game today in LeBron [James] and Anthony Davis.
“They beat us fair and squarely. But there will be always be that asterisk; if we had Bam and Goran 100 percent — Goran was our leading scorer [entering the Finals] — it might have gone to a seventh game.”

Not a good look Pat. Maybe he was taken out of context though.

Obviously there’s an asterisk on this one

That’s a pretty pussy thing to say after you lose

frick him.
His arse is still raw from Lebron leaving.
He needs to shut up and take his loss. If there needs to be an asterisks how about Heyward getting hurt.

I am not a * giver, but hard not to agree with him I would be hard pressed to find more than 3-4 title teams who benefited more by opponent injury.

meh, he might have had an argument if the lakers werent the #1 team throughout the entire year and then had to play the entire playoffs without the homecourt advantage they earned and a key contributor in avery bradley.

The injury gods were repaying Lebron for all the injuries the 2015 Cavs had in their finals...

And they don't put asteriks next to a title because the opposing team had injured players.
I thought he was talking about Covid when he mentioned the asterik.

Lakers 2020*
*The year LeMao helped destroy the NBA and they had their worst ever ratings in the modern era, falling more than any other major sports league by percentage of viewers.

There will be an asterisk on every championship won this season in every sport. Idk why people are taking any sport seriously right now, it’s all an exhibition.

You think so? Tell that to all the players and coaches with performance incentives in their contracts. They probably don't care about that money though, you're right.
