I don’t even remember Embiid existing at this time
I don’t remember him existing today
Who that?
Jay Hughes saying it like he aint one if the best bigs rn
@@bra1nsnack Marc Gasol is Embiid's daddy
no lliddd do you know if they are talking about a surgery when he was at Kansas or was he in the nba here? I’m almost positive he wasn’t in the nba when bron was on the heat. That feels like so long ago
ohh, that's why LeBron is so determined to beat the Heat.
💛💜 🐐 James
It’s his last chance to win a ring
he has anthony davis. without AD he not making the playoffs
@@user-jp3tp7fv1s Heat without butler would not make it as well
@@user-jp3tp7fv1s not like the last few years a certain team in the West had about 4 allstars and 3 of the best shooters in the whole league on their team
LeBron learned how to win in Miami and that was important for his career. What’s more important was him winning in Cleveland Ohio where he started. He got the Heat 2 rings. He kept a promise that nobody else could’ve kept and got one in Cleveland against the best winning record team in history after being down 3-1. It’s legendary vs doing something that we had already seen him do.
This is all pure bs. This is media hot take garbage. Its jus fits a narrative.
Daniel Jenkins agreed. Just a way for people to sound like they know what they’re talking about.
@@danieljenkins7951 what do you think is real then? Whats the real shit
No he knew how to win all miami did was give him all he needed in Cleveland a good second option
Rap Artist exactly. He carried a team with mo Williams as the 2nd best player to the finals. He already knew how to win. He just needed real teammates
Chris Broussard looks exactly the same same 6 years later.. aged just slightly
Same in 24’
It shows you championships are not the same. The ring he won in Cleveland are worth more than the ones in Miami. LBJ knew that
“It became personal with me”
Trying to hustle him into staying. Should've said it differently
Damn look at Jade 🔥🔥
She basic lol
Well now Lebron is in your home
Technically and Lebron and AD whooping y’all ass
If it wasn’t for pat lebron would have 0 rings
John Kavanagh I mean okay? Doesn’t change that Lebron and ad whooping they ass WITHOUT him and winning with Frank Vogel 👍🏾
jameel lawrence nah pat didnt made that happen lebron joined the heat because his bestfriend wade is there pat riley is just happen to be the “architect” when hes not LEBRON gabe the heat 2 rings not riley yall dumbasses
jameel lawrence owww his rings in cleveland is also because of pat how dumb are you kid?
Deo👀
who is the lady in the start ?
I am sure his hemorrhoids are acting up today after that gut punch from the Lebron led Lakers🤣🤣🤣
Lebron has always been in it for himself and rather than his team and I don't blame him at all. Teams are very quick to trade or move on from a guy once he can't produce. There's no loyalty, its just all business.
Yes and yes
Chris sources has been wrong for some years i see. 🤣🤣🤣
Pat, you own no one.
I think if Lebron stayed with Miami, he’d have at least 5 rings by now
Winston in john wick talks😂
LeBron is like if anakin went back to the good side 😂
Heat took it to the Spurs in a spectacular 7 game series, of which they took the title that was just in San Antonio's grasp. Devastated, Spurs went home and had a looooong off season. Evaluate themselves and their team. They stayed together, then came back the next year and obliterate the Heat 10x worse. One of, if not THE worst Finals blow out of all time. What was Lebron's answer? Quit. Shows the kind of character the man has, echoed through the hints Riley dropped in this press conference. Certainly indicative of it by throwing a tantrum and raising questions about if he would stay or not, stealing the news cycle of Spurs' incredible story to focus on him. Lebron is a fucking amazing basketball player, but he's also a prima donna bitch.
Lol u wrote all of this when coulda just said u don’t like him 😂😂 u haters are on another level of weird
He left to return home to give Cavs a ring. He has said this many times
Y’all acting like his free agency wasn’t up lol he did the work on the contract and lived up to his word but he gets hate.
@@YoungNuk13promising 9 championships 😂😂😂😂
Sheesh Pat Riley, could have handled that with more class
Congratulations, you lost James and now Wade!
Brian Chua fr 😂😂😂
ik that this is old, but we got back wade and I know how gud Lebron is but this was the right choice for him to go home.
Brian Chua wade back idk what u talking about?
Naww bitch we got Wade back
Well uh this is awkward
I'm... Coming Home ...
Calm Down Riley! This attitude got us a loss to the fucking Pistons in 89. Magic’s 6th
anybody watching in 2020?
Well its not a match up. Its a joke. Lakers stacked. This year finals boring because no superstar in the other team. At least when it was warriors vs cavs you got to watch lebron and KD even if it was one sided. This year we don't have either.
He had the guts to go back to his home team and bring them a championship.. And 4 years later sweep ur ass
Barely 2-0 asshole
@@marcosjuarez1490 Barely?? what series are you watching
How fucking poetic this is lmao. Riley gonna get swept by lebron on a lakers jersey? This is good stuff
Same thing would've happened anyways Bosh and Wade went down just like Love and Irving did.
Dude trades and cuts players all the time. Its just business. Nothing personal.
pat got rid of wade
LeBron got hurt Riley challenged him and he then bailed on them after ignoring Pat Riley during their meeting.
Guts Pat Riley? To stay in Miami? That would've been easy and would not have required guts. Lebron had guts to go back to Cleveland and take on a powerhouse Warriors team for 4 straight years, netting him another ring. Then he had enough guts to move on to Los Angeles and resurrect the greatest franchise in the NBA to help them be on the brink of winning their 17th title,
Even if we only win 1 game in the finals, this team has the GUTS.
pat riley taught lebron how to be ruthless using the heat philosophy doesn’t work when you on the poor cavs but on the lakers? Fuck it trade the whole team 🤣
Couldve put a name on it
We already know
Welp we see the winners and losers 6 years later 🤷🏾♂️
LeBron doesn't forget.
Not one Not two.. Not three.. Not four...
Looking like 4 this friday. Will see
this did not age well
If he was a real one he would’ve stayed. Lebron promised Miami a lot probably promised pat riley a lot as well but he moved that’s business.
At the time it was a good idea for Lebron to go back to Cleveland but now thinking about it, He should of stayed in Miami
lebron would have won more chips. but bron 2016 ring means more imo
Exactly he didn't cry when he won in miami neither time
Oh he returned all right, to help him catch a 4-1 in the finals.
Jade, Jade, Jade. Dem legs, sheesh.
##A TRUE KING 👑🦁🐐 CONQUER OVERALL THEY TRAVEL THE NATIONS AND RULE OVERALL👑🐐💯
Bump pat they want you to be loyal but they are not he made shaq bounce around for a couple years for a little extra money the same Thing to wade to he came back on knees they are such hypocrites they will use your ass up
LBJ Heat jersey number= 6
6 years after leaving the heat he beat his old team in the finals 👀
Coincidence, was this all meant to be 🤔
lol "sweep"
If they win in 5 Kobe was 4q & that will be every series.
The Heat were without their leading scorer Dragic and Bam in the finals , had the Heat had them both the outcome would of maybe been different.
@@ChuloInYourCulo It was no sweep, the Heat took the Lakers to six games. Despite missing their leading scorer Dragic and Bam. The Heat caught a bad break with the injury bug at a wrong time in the Finals. Hopefully next time it will be different.
LOL SPURS MADE THEM BIG MAD. Spurs ended your dynasty. SPURS FOR LIFE.
Can’t wait till bron beat they ass in 5
cant wait when miami beats the lakers and all the bronsexual laker fans starts crying
lony walnut that’s not happening sorry
@@Master-vh2wm yep jimmy will channel his inner kobe and send the lebum to cancun in 7.
lony walnut Ight we’ll see
@@Master-vh2wm as much as i dislike lebron, im gonna be realistic and say Lakers in 5 like every one else. Im an og heat fan before lebron since the 90s, but this year is for kobe
6 years later, they face off in the finals, with pat's original team in it
edwin younes uhhh the 🐐 udonis haslem
What do you mean his original 10 nobody from the 2014 squad is on this year's team except you Donis but he doesn't play there's nothing special about this year's finals
@DroidSage there's nothing personal about it
@@SlimKim3 Pat's Original team is the Lakers, that's where he began playing then coaching
@edwin younes The Lakers are Pat Riley's original team where he began his career as a coach, he also played in the Lakers but idk if he played somewhere else before playing with Lakers
Pat is also known as Palpatine, he brought LeBron to the dark side.
And got two chips
Lebrun was already there
nah hes the godfather lol
And he turned back betraying him
Lebron has always said his 4 years with the heat was like college for him learning how to be a champion. He took those lessons to bring a championship to his home town & now to bring the lakers back to glory
6 years later were back
and finna lose to lebron 😭
@@freebandboy9071 imma comeback to this when we won
Daffa Prakoso Lakers in 1
Daffa Prakoso u guys lost what?
@@daffaprakoso5987 nah, I'll be back when the heat lose
Pat made this Ring for lebron the soul stone. " All your plans led you back to me, I am inevitable."
Crazy how I just got this on my recommends
*"Wanna trend something? Im pissed.. Go head get it out there!" 🤣 🤦♂️*
The same way you get em is the same way you lose em. 😂😂😂😭😭☠🤷🏾♂️
Gem
Was gonna say this 😂😂😂😂
Haahhaha 😆😆😆iyak kana lang Riley
He did nothing wrong. Wade and Bosch wanted to go play together and Wade did not want to leave Miami.
Pat left New York high and dry!
Yet he's still the best coach and Knicks had in the past 30 years
Goddam Right ✊🏾
Embiid and injuries still a thing 6 year later
This man been hurt all his life smh
On god
Ray Stroman this comment is underrated after these last two playoffs.
Pretty pathetic to clown a man for having injuries.
Lechoke has no guts
He loved him like a son, he didn’t want him to leave
He was smacked when he did this lol. OD smacked lol
Pat Riley is old school. He’s not used to coaching today’s soft “superstars” who pick and choose which city they’d rather live in compared to creating a dynasty. Ask him how he got 5 rings with magic. He only got 2 with lebron and he knows they would have won more if he stayed
Yea but hes the one the got Lebron to get out of Cleveland and cant get mad when “he went out the door”
I think LeBron would rather win 1 ring for Cleveland than 5 for the Heat
@@Munnmaista yea Ohio is his home. It's worth more to him
@@Munnmaista i guess but he could had done that later in his career but i guess we'll never know
Pat riley has 3 rings with the heat. 1 as a coach in 2006 and 2 as a general manager. And he got 5 rings as a coach for Magic Johnson and James Worthy
Pat Riley is totally correct. When you look at lebron departures and how the roster is blown up. Dude you need more than one year to build championship team and build chemistry.
fast forward to now : heat still hasnt won a chip since lebron left 😂
@@apoxalypsewhen ok so? you dont think having LeBron was the cause? dude is a team killer but i know u dont care. You lick his poster every night before bed
Like Riley has a lot of room to talk. Why did he ever leave Los Angeles.?????
More control
People aren’t ready for that convo
Also the way he left the Knicks to go to the Heat
He left the Knicks also via Fax 🤷🏽♂️
complete facts. you can't talk of your like that as well smh.
Everything he said was defeated by the fact that the way they got LeBron was by him looking for the first door (Miami) and going for it. To then make it seem like he's a bad guy for leaving you is dumb. Looking back on this that press conference is still funny and sooo hypocritical.
It's like a wise man once told me "it's not your pussy, it's just your turn".
Lebron made an altimadem doh....
Then why did lebron leave? just because they lose in the finals? Man Lebron is great but always wants the easy way out.
LeBron is going for his 4 ring. And His against the Heat 🙊 👑 🐐
Lebron is already the GOAT win or lose but he’s gonna win in 5.
Lebron isnt competing for GOAT status anymore lol. He’s already proven he isnt better than Jordan. He’s trying to get that #2 spot. You cant be 3/9 in the Nba finals and call yourself the goat PERIOD
@@wtfyoutube4873 haha the GOAT that's a good one No killer INSTINCT he's not even better than Kobe much less the GOAT Jordan GTFOH..
THE GREAT ONE who did Jordan play in the finals lol. LBJ faced many of the best basketball teams of all time while MJ was winning against bums like Clyde Drexler.
Wtf TH-cam bruh bronsexuals back at it again
Pat Riley. Lebron has not forgot this. IJS!
Neither has pat. He left the heat high and dry and the team fell apart after that. They both had to do what he had to do but you'll never get an apology from him. Youre talking about the guy who still doesn't speak to Larry bird or MJ after all those battles in the 80s and 90s
Yeah and they just lost the the Miami Heat featuring homeless people and two suburban white kids
@@sands201 damn homeless? Smh.
@@vipernineone514 whats Pat gonna do? Lebron is the one on the court. All Riley could do is sit back and watch as Lebron kills his team
When this MIA team was formed I thought they would have been a dynasty. they won 2 in 4 years with their talent. I expected at least 4-5 chips.
Same but Wade's knees weren't holding up and team was on the decline in 2014
@@xedyir_oZZ what about 2011? Were his knees bad then?
Brian Robinson he was killing in the 2011 finals.
Brian Robinson oh never mind I read your comment again. Yeah D Wades Meniscus surgery were fucking up his knee.
@@xedyir_oZZ yeah but d Wade was still a pretty good player. it's not like he wasn't effective anymore. I get his knees were messed up but he still was a top 10 player.
He is sooo wasted lmao
This did not age well
what
@Andrew Lee ohhh that makes sense
1:36 Pat Rily was low key Mad af sayin' " .. think about it ... ".
There's nothing special about this year's finals has LeBron facing an entirely different Miami Heat team this is just another Heat versus Lakers
if lebron stayed, he could have beaten golden state
Unlike dan Gilbert, pat riley and the heat are 1 game away from facing lebron.
Yeah after 6 years 😂 and they not gonna win
they are going to get destroyed lol
2024 now..He. got his coach fired in LA...
He was trying to do the same thing here in Miami...but PAT RILEY SAID NO...
PAT RILEY THE ONLY GM THAT HAD THE BALLS TO SAY NO AND STAND UP TO LEBRON 😂😂
LeBron SOFT
Facts.
Pat could say this.
But what about lebrons future?
He took a pay cut. To join the miami.
Only pat riley gets the high cut while the players are not sad. And lebron hated because of this?
Don’t worry Pat... the Heat would make the finals again 6 years later with the chance to beat LeBron... only to get SWEPT by LeBron
Oof
Swept??? Ha haha
@@johnnygarcia7269 still lakers in 5 😂
@@Frozere exactly lmao
You mean even the series buddy Miami in 6
Looking back, Pat tried to use his mercenary ways to send a message to the 👑
Unfortunately it backfired on him in the end
LeBron is 3/9 in the finals. About to be 3/10. He's not a King, just a glorified loser.
@@thomasanderson5929 you're stupid if you think he will lose to the heat lmao 🤣
Thomas Anderson 4/10 and cry my friend 10 finals is already a winner less than 5 percent of the nba only make it to the finals it means what? Youre a winner!!!
What is it with these GMs getting all pissy about Lebron leaving? He gave Riley 2 rings what is he even on about
Yea he wants LeBron to lose this finals LMAO.
Bron going for the sweep
They be bitter when someone leaves but will trade u in your sleep
@@TimRodriguezz Bron got it easy this season
I like it when LeBron disappointing the the social media and the haters...
Ahhh but we just brush it off and say it’s just business when constantly y’all had Chris Bosh in the trade block for pretty much every game lost 😂buttttttttttttt when someone leaves your team you get pissed. This is why superstars are doing what they want because of all this hypocritical bull.
Ik bro people just don't understand that shit can happen both ways, cuz if u can trade me whenever I can leave whenever.
Deadass. And then tried to cheat Dwade by offering him less money
U do know LBJ had Wade opt out, right? U do know know that owners have control over players contracts, right? How many of y'all are employees who follow orders or employers who give the orders? Y'all crying, but how many players has LBJ gotten traded. Yeah, that many.
@@Nolaboy17 that doesn't matter how many he has gotten traded, look at how many he has gotten payed bro. He has been known for that. And u make it sound like he is the one who orchestrates all the trades that have happened throughout his career, has he gotten a say 100%, but what does that have to do with anything. And people get traded all the time. That is business in these sport leagues, so why can't they leave whenever they won't?
@@halpreme009 I make it sound like he orchestrates the trades. 😂😂😂 this man has had half a team traded twice. Yes, he has a lot to do with getting players traded. Uprooting families because it doesn't help him win. So I guess it's a business when LBJ does and bullshit when a team owner does it? Yes, LBJ has gotten players paid, but he's gotten more traded. Nothing personal towards the dude. Those who think like an employee will never become a employer.
LeBron was so wise to leave. D Wade declined, Bosh went out with blood clots. Bron got his hometown Cleveland a championship. And, ironically, the Heat are better off for the future than if he kept Bron. It all worked out.
2020 finals
Good job pat, you just earned a finals L from the king years later.
but yet pat didnt have the guts to stay with the knicks after the finals loss instead left asap smh
Exactly! Quit by sending his resignation via fax smfh
Aj Bailey Jr He probably said the Shit House the Knicks have right now. He probably already knew they couldn’t do shit even if he stayed. Pat Riley could of retooled the Heat around LeBron and they woulda been back in the finals. Especially with the conference they played in.
@@nosmoke6556 the next year bosh had blood cloths so he would have been out, and then u had a washed dwade
KingHerm1t Washed Wade? Was he prime Wade? No. Wade last year being Top 3-5 was 2011 in which LeBron was in his prime too and lost. Then after that they won not 1 but 2 titles and even after the Big 3 broke up. Wade was still hooping. He was ballin till his last season. I know you seen him trying to carry the heat vs the 76ers when he was comin off the bench. He came off the bench and the heat had him on the floor in the fourth quarters of ALL THOSE GAMES.
I remember that!!! LOL 😆
Let us down and cut out.
He reminds me of Gordon Gekko.
Hypocrite. I always liked his style with the Lakers and with the Knicks but he's Salty and hurt because LeBron moves on, just Like Cleveland's Owner did.
Should have Valued the Man when you had the opportunity to.
Pat maybe the Godfather but Bron is just different. He controls the league with his greatness you cant just dictate him what he needs to do..
Well LeBron made his return loud n clear LoL
Who is the reporter?
lebron goes to miami goes 2-2 goes to cleveland goes 1-3 now hes in LA and hes 0-2 since 2018. How you team up so much just to underachieve
He's looking for instance success it ain't working he's tryna build these mini dynasties around him wherever he goes and the chemistry and isn't there he doesnt stay long enough to get the best outta his team
bruh. watching this right now is confirming me even more! Pat is Legendary! sucks that lakers took 3-1 lead. Let's win this championship!
If u Wana be a champion, follow pat riley all the way
Anthony Davis took it personally, I mean AD 😁😁😁😁
What's ad got to do with it
He came back..... to beat you in the finals
and he’s about to lose to lebron in the finals 👑
See lebum James didn’t have the balls to return
Shut the fuck up
Shit lebron made the right choice. If he had stayed, in that 5th year with wade not being himself, boshs blood clots, ray allen wlda been the second best player on the squad n they hadnt added anything but ray allen in those 4 years. Its like 7 years in cleveland his 2nd best player was mo williams... 1time allstar.... N considering bron never stopped going to the finals.... Yea best decision available at that time.... N if he wanted it easy im sure klay n steph wldve loved to have lebron in years 15-18 😆 they wlda won two more extra rings that way lol
Yeah, when the going gets tough, go make another super team. Thats what sports are all about.
@@dash4800 when organizations show you theyre not willing to do everything possible to win, no point in wasting anymore time there
C9_Revelator exactly man I’m so fucking tired of people talking about lebron “being scared” and “leaving when times got tough” or “leaving to build a super team”. Ignorant, no ball knowledge having motherfuckers. Like how are these idiots gonna sit here and say lebron got scared of the pressure and ran, the guy goes to the finals every fucking year, like tf? How was he “scared” for leaving a Cleveland team that he dragged on his back for 7 years(wastes years) and then “scared” because THEY couldn’t surround him wit talent to win. All three times that he’s switched teams, he’s gone to the worse off team all three times. Record wise, talent wise, status wise etc... you can’t say a man is scared for bringing a team to 4 straight nba finals, and then leaving for a team at the bottom of the league, in the lottery with the worse record, and then carrying them to 4 straight finals. I see these retards saying bron is scared and how to jump ship to multiple teams to win rings, maybe if they did some damn research and learned about ball they would realize how stupid they sound saying that
Riley left LA & NY so wtf is he crying about!?!?
He left LA after an 80s Dynasty he built and Left NY due to that Fool owner. winning is in Riles blood.
Scott Andigan He left LA when the Lakers were on their way down already with MJ taking over the NBA... he knew they weren’t gonna beat MJ and left... and as for NY Dolan wasn’t the owner yet when he left NY to Miami
EGO...BIG EGO
MARK PORCELLI his big ego cost them millions in business, Lebron on himself is a corporation
LbJ is and always has been in the drivers seat as far as his NBA career trajectory goes.... Owner, GMs and even coaches are challenged by that...
Riley knows what it takes to win. And be great. Ray Allen bail out, and Steph curry injury, and alot of Kyrie got all this better than mj crap going on.
Surgery for Embiid still relevant
Lebron got the royal treatment. Riley in 2010 to Lebron: Whatever u want Lebron. Don't leave us.
Everyone doesn't want to be a slave
If that was true Pat would of been coaching
You know what’s wild is they retooled after Lebron very well and could’ve really done something great on a team surrounding Bosh and Wade while Wade was healthy. It’s just a shame what happened to Bosh very unfortunate.
