?In the Worst Way Win??: 33 Years After Their Time at Lakers, Magic Johnson Makes a Benevolent Statement About 76 YO Heat Legend

The Miami Heat have played some exceptional basketball this season. Especially at the beginning of the postseason, the Heat switched up their game. Now they are pitted against the Denver Nuggets for the championship title. With a 1-0 lead, the Nuggets have taken a lead in the series, but Miami still has the chance to bounce back and clinch the title. Recently, the intentions of the president of the Heat, Pat Riley, indicate that they’re not going to settle for anything less.

The message was conveyed by none other than Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson. Johnson detailed the goal that the Heat and their president have set regarding NBA championships. Riley and Magic have a glorified history together, and going by the words of the NBA legend, we might have an even more interesting NBA Finals.

Magic Johnson talks about Pat Riley’s championship title intentions

Riley and the Lakers’ story is a legacy of its own. Having coached one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Riley’s resume as a coach is stacked. The first NBA title was in 1972 while he was serving as a backup forward for the Lakers; the second title came in 1980 while he was serving as the team’s assistant coach. After that, the legendary coach never looked back. It pretty much rained NBA titles for him after that point. As the head coach of the “Showtime” Lakers in the 1980s, he won four NBA titles. Riley also led the Heat to their seventh championship in 2006 and their eighth and ninth championships in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Now awaiting his 10th NBA title, which is just four wins away, Riley has his eyes on the prize. Once his mentee, the great Magic Johnson, talked about what the Heat are eyeing for themselves, Magic said, “He wants to, in the worst way, win one more.” Magic went on to acknowledge the greatness of his coach. He also said that there is intensity and clarity in the mind of the 78-year-old. Magic added, “He hasn?t changed. He?s still intense; I can see it on his face.” There is a great deal of certainty when it comes to fulfilling Riley’s wishes.
