Just seen an article claiming Pat Riley never won a championship without “generational talent.” Well, for that matter, neither did Phil Jackson, Steve Kerr, Red Auerbach or Greg Popovich. I don’t believe there has ever been a pro basketball coach or team that has ever won multiple championships down through the years without having “generational talent.” Any takers out there? Please, enlightened me! And I’m not a big Riley guy either, I just wonder where some of these clicks come from. Most teams without generational talent usually slip in and get one every once in awhile. Larry Brown with that Piston team with Chauncey Billips and Rasheed and Ben Wallace. Solid players but not generational.
There are 3 coaches that serious NBA fans consider the Greatest of All Time. Pat Riley is one of them. Add to that his excellence as an NBA team executive, and it's easy to call him the "Mad Genius" of the NBA
@@BasketballNetworkhe was the coach then president then took over as coach / president to lead them to they first ever championship and hire spo to win two more the don is a legend
In my opinion, NYK could have won a title if the thsn management listened to Riley's suggestions for improving the team since they already made it to Finals. They should've learned that there are times they need to listen to one who knows what's going on in the hardcourt than just sitting behind their desks.

Patrick James Riley is the G.O.A.T of NBA Coaches
If Pat Reilly saw how he was portrayed in the series "Winning Times", he would go nuts.
He was still an assistant but once he became a head coach made him what he is now.
Adrien Brody please so Miami 305
I thought he was the owner I’m confused I thought Erik spoelster was the coach
Riley was the head coach prior to becoming the president of the Miami Heat. Spo is the head coach now.

He Would of won with the knicks if the man in Chicago stayed retired
