Miami Heat President Pat Riley has nine NBA championships on his resume, including his time as a player, coach, and executive - yet he still wants to compete for more, just like Jimmy Butler.
Riley won one NBA championship as a player for the Los Angeles Lakers in 1972, one as an assistant coach under Lakers coach Paul Westhead in 1979-80, five as a head coach with the Lakers and Heat, and two as a Heat executive. The Heat attempted to add one more to Riley's resume after the team snuck into last season's NBA Playoffs as the eighth seed after an inconsistent and up-and-down regular season.
The Heat made it to the NBA Finals, defeating the number one seed Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, and Boston Celtics to become the Eastern Conference Champions. They ultimately lost the NBA Finals to the Nikola Jokic-led Denver Nuggets, who won the series four games to one.
