Pat Riley Ripped for Saying Lakers’ 2020 Championship Deserves an Asterisk
Written by SOURCE on October 25, 2020
Pat Riley is getting some heat (pun intended) after he said that he feels like the Lakers’ 2020 NBA Championship has an asterisk next to it because some key players on the Heat’s roster weren’t at 100 percent during the Finals.
“They beat us fair and squarely,” Riley said to Fox Sports this week. “They were the best team. But there’s always going to be that asterisk, that caveat. If we had Bam and Goran—Goran was our leading scorer in the playoffs—at 100 percent, it could have gone to a seventh game. But I’m not going to look back on it, I’m just going to look at all the positive things.”
