What does this even mean?? Not that I care what his opinion is, just hadn't seen it mentioned and it's a pretty dead time for sports.

My thinking is he was just adding fuel to the fire for the rivalry. After all Riley played his college ball at Ky...

I saw something suggesting he was just messing with around. Considering battier is apart of the heat front office and nick Arison is a duke grad and former team manager. Hard to believe he would say that being serious considering he has two management positions filled by duke guys and arguably his best player last year was a duke guy.

He played at UK. Nothing to see here .

His boy Herro was on a milk carton last November.

I saw this posted on RR.

Lol! Guess Pat would have skipped on drafting Zion, or RJ, or Cam! Have fun Pat and Heat fans with your franchise changing player in Herro!

Don’t look to much into it. Riley is a good guy.
What is “ the Duke concept” anyway.

Would it be that K prepares players for the league ? Herro is a shooting guard so is a shot at K for producing better guards? Or is it a shot at the brotherhood.

He was trying to be funny

Riley’s a dick! Not surprised at your opinion though.

I hope he was joking.. since Justise has played a decent role on their team since he left Duke.. and they gave him a 3 year extension last year ($39 million).

Watching Bron leave those bums was one of my favorite things to watch.

What’s his problem with Duke players?

Sincerely,

Justise Winslow

Pat is getting old and senile. LeBron or D Wade ain’t walking through that door.

 

[Quavarius]

He’s also a former UK player that is envious of Duke. Herro and his alligator arms aren’t going to win Miami a title, either!

Miami fans aren’t happy with that pick either lol. Riley was actually one of the few uk players I actually liked not anymore. He’s gone old and senile

You might want to send him those tweets you posted yesterday Q! Lol

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

What’s wrong with him?

Duke didn’t offer him a scholarship so he had to settle for KY.

What’s your issue with me as a poster?

No I don’t think it was a true shot at Duke at all.

He would need several “Depends” changes throughout the day

A media person asked him once about when he played at Duke (the media member really thought he did), he didn’t like that too well. I think it has something to do with that.

Plus at 13 all the Duke guys were gone anyway.

uk played Duke in the 66 final four, then uk lost to Texas Western. Pat Riley was on that uk team. Maybe that’s what the reporter meant when asked what it was like to play Duke.

When you have NBA people talking about your college program....

Duke is the King of College Basketball and it’s not even close!

 

[skysdad]

Riley's problem with Duke is the same as every non Duke fan with Duke. OFC

 

[denverexpat]

Getting rid of the Duke concept - as in....integrity, teamwork, unselfish play, oh and winning...yep go with UK ball and see how that works out for you....

 

[christophero]

Riley's okay. He went to Kentucky and was probably making a joke.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I've seen Riley use his biting sarcasm before, and I think that's what this is. But, since everyone (especially UK fans) are blowing this up, I'm going with the flow and hittin' back!

The Heat picking Tyler Herro in the lottery is without a doubt the worst lottery pick in this year’s draft. The kid will get abused in the nba just like Duke abused him on November 6th

 

[Liftee]

Every time Duke gets mentioned by someone like Riley, it's a compliment. Much rather he joke about Duke than the dump down the road.

Agreed Liftee, that is a "dump down the road."

I think Riley was just having a little fun. I remember he and Shane having some friendly wager going into the game last November. This kind of stuff happens all the time.
