MASTER OF MOTIVATION

Despite winning championships in almost every level of pro basketball, Miami Heat President Pat Riley never runs out of challenges that he used as motivation in his continuous pursuit of winning more NBA titles. He won a title as a player with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1972, then clinched five more (one as assistant mentor) as the guru for Tinseltown’s showtime in the 80’s. His last title came in 2006 when he gave the Heat their first and only championship so far. Now with Miami’s new “3 kings” in LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, Riley is looking forward for his first crown as a front office man.

“If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.”
