Recently, a fan met Heat president Pat Riley outside the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers. Pat Riley kept taking photos around Kobe's statue with 81 points, which also made people see the mixed feelings.

Although he is very old, Pat Riley's external image and temperament are very outstanding. He has a large silver back and a tall body, looking very eye-catching, and is a standard American keen elite image. Pat Riley's personal basketball career is undoubtedly very legendary and successful, and has a very long relationship with the Lakers. When he was a player, he wore the Lakers' jersey and won the championship trophy. After taking off his jersey and picking up the Lakers' coaching stick, he started the Lakers' classic Showtime era, winning 4 championship trophys in one fell swoop.

Then coach O'Neal and Wade won the championship trophy again. After becoming president, they opened the era of the Heat's Big Three, and won two more championship trophys. Both for the Heat and the Lakers, Pat Riley has brought the team's glory and doubled its market value. The only regret is that Pat Riley has never worked with Kobe. Pat Riley is a typical old-fashioned iron-blooded coach and does not allow anyone to challenge his authority, even if it is James. Kobe is the kind of player who is extremely self-disciplined and constantly pursues breakthroughs.

Riley has expressed his appreciation and love for Kobe more than once, after all, such two people are so tempted. Now that Kobe is far away from the NBA, Pat Riley can't stop her appreciation of Kobe, and she can't help but take pictures when she sees the statue. In addition, the Lakers have officially announced that in February next year, when the Lakers play against the Celtics at home, they will create a personal statue for Pat Riley to commend his contributions and honors to the Lakers during his time as players and coaches.

Pat Riley, who has been sophisticated for a lifetime, must have great requirements for his personal statue. The four-dimensional statue created by the Heat for Wade is the uglyest athlete statue. Pat Riley must discuss with the Lakers management that his personal statue must be perfect.
