Pat Riley is one of the most respected names in the basketball world, and he certainly has plenty experience when it comes to winning NBA Championships. 

He won one title as a player, one as an assistant coach, he is a five-time champion head coach, and earned a pair of championship rings during his long tenure in the Miami Heat's front office.

Miami was largely inconsistent throughout the 2022-23 regular season, and secured the eight and final playoff spot. The team ultimately became on the second No. 8 seed in NBA history to advance to the championship series.

Retirement was not discussed during Riley’s 35-minute session with reporters; he’s shown no signs of slowing down and there’s been no talk of any exit strategies for Riley who has been part of nine NBA championships — three in Miami.
