WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.150 align:middle line:90% 00:00:01.150 --> 00:00:04.190 align:middle line:90% It's been not three, not four. 00:00:04.190 --> 00:00:06.730 align:middle line:90% But 10 years since the decision. 00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:10.090 align:middle line:84% And for more I'm joined by our that Carney and chanda 00:00:10.090 --> 00:00:11.770 align:middle line:90% Richardson of inside the heat. 00:00:11.770 --> 00:00:14.470 align:middle line:84% Now Ron when you talk about numbers three 00:00:14.470 --> 00:00:17.050 align:middle line:84% comes to mind with the Miami Heat the big three. 00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:18.430 align:middle line:90% They won two titles. 00:00:18.430 --> 00:00:19.480 align:middle line:90% How do you remember them. 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.880 align:middle line:84% I mean, it's hard to label them a disappointment 00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:24.920 align:middle line:84% but they didn't win off the number of championships. 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.930 align:middle line:84% I referenced from the pep rally list. 00:00:27.930 --> 00:00:28.430 align:middle line:90% You know. 00:00:28.430 --> 00:00:29.845 align:middle line:84% I mean, I think everyone involved 00:00:29.845 --> 00:00:31.720 align:middle line:84% would agree that they maybe left a little bit 00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:34.450 align:middle line:84% to be desired on the court obviously making 00:00:34.450 --> 00:00:37.210 align:middle line:84% four straight finals is an achievement on its own. 00:00:37.210 --> 00:00:39.250 align:middle line:84% But I think they all kind of assume 00:00:39.250 --> 00:00:41.230 align:middle line:90% they win one or two more. 00:00:41.230 --> 00:00:42.880 align:middle line:84% Pat Riley certainly felt that way. 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.680 align:middle line:84% He thought he was building a dinosaur that 00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.590 align:middle line:84% last a lot longer than 10 years or four years rather. 00:00:47.590 --> 00:00:49.180 align:middle line:84% I believe that their legacy is going 00:00:49.180 --> 00:00:52.960 align:middle line:84% to be more of an off court thing than an encore thing the way 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.650 align:middle line:84% they set the tone for the next six, 00:00:54.650 --> 00:00:58.000 align:middle line:84% seven years of the NBA the way they were playing on the court 00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.890 align:middle line:84% by the end of they're run of the way 00:00:59.890 --> 00:01:02.290 align:middle line:84% we view LeBron James the way the media covers 00:01:02.290 --> 00:01:04.480 align:middle line:84% these super teams and creative decisions 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.410 align:middle line:84% all that stuff was influenced by what the big three did first. 00:01:08.410 --> 00:01:12.073 align:middle line:84% Now shanda obviously Dwayne Wade is beloved in Miami. 00:01:12.073 --> 00:01:13.240 align:middle line:90% But what about LeBron James. 00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:14.260 align:middle line:90% What's his legacy there. 00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:16.750 align:middle line:84% Because he was with Cleveland before then went back 00:01:16.750 --> 00:01:20.260 align:middle line:84% to Cleveland now with l.a. it's a chapter in his career not 00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:21.737 align:middle line:90% what defined it. 00:01:21.737 --> 00:01:23.320 align:middle line:84% Yeah, I mean, I don't think he'll ever 00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:27.340 align:middle line:84% be loved as Dwayne Wade down here or even Udonis Haslem. 00:01:27.340 --> 00:01:30.490 align:middle line:84% I think those two names stick with the fans 00:01:30.490 --> 00:01:31.960 align:middle line:84% a lot more than LeBron James I've 00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:34.180 align:middle line:84% kind of loved LeBron with Shaquille O'Neal when 00:01:34.180 --> 00:01:35.440 align:middle line:90% he was in Miami. 00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:37.480 align:middle line:84% He came down here as a rented player. 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.673 align:middle line:84% He won a champ won two championships 00:01:39.673 --> 00:01:40.840 align:middle line:90% and they kind of let him go. 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.930 align:middle line:84% So I think that's kind of where his legacy ends with the fans. 00:01:43.930 --> 00:01:47.112 align:middle line:84% Well, I wouldn't say they let him go. 00:01:47.112 --> 00:01:48.070 align:middle line:90% They didn't let him go. 00:01:48.070 --> 00:01:48.580 align:middle line:90% He left. 00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:50.710 align:middle line:90% I mean, they just they let him. 00:01:50.710 --> 00:01:53.600 align:middle line:84% They accepted what he brought to the organization. 00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:56.830 align:middle line:84% I mean, two championships in four fouls appearances. 00:01:56.830 --> 00:01:59.410 align:middle line:84% My mind was pretty much the center of the NBA universe 00:01:59.410 --> 00:02:00.390 align:middle line:90% for those four years. 00:02:00.390 --> 00:02:02.930 align:middle line:84% So I think they were happy with that. 00:02:02.930 --> 00:02:05.540 align:middle line:84% Ron I know you are a heat fan as well. 00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:07.789 align:middle line:90% Do you agree with Sandler. 00:02:07.789 --> 00:02:08.289 align:middle line:90% I think so. 00:02:08.289 --> 00:02:10.210 align:middle line:84% I do think that heat fans obviously 00:02:10.210 --> 00:02:11.930 align:middle line:90% appreciate what LeBron did. 00:02:11.930 --> 00:02:15.187 align:middle line:84% And I do think there is still a streak of I 00:02:15.187 --> 00:02:17.270 align:middle line:84% think heat fans would love to prove that Miami was 00:02:17.270 --> 00:02:18.937 align:middle line:84% the place LeBron should have always been 00:02:18.937 --> 00:02:20.205 align:middle line:90% in the place he always stayed. 00:02:20.205 --> 00:02:21.830 align:middle line:84% Obviously, the bronze proven since then 00:02:21.830 --> 00:02:25.910 align:middle line:84% how successful He can be no matter where he goes. 00:02:25.910 --> 00:02:27.700 align:middle line:84% I mean, right now, the only places 00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:30.632 align:middle line:84% ever won multiple championships remains the heat. 00:02:30.632 --> 00:02:32.090 align:middle line:84% You know, I think that organization 00:02:32.090 --> 00:02:34.640 align:middle line:84% would argue that they provided the structure for that. 00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:36.560 align:middle line:84% There's a reason why he had the most 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.528 align:middle line:84% success a championship wise of his career in Miami, of course. 00:02:40.528 --> 00:02:42.320 align:middle line:84% There's a lot of factors in a lot of things 00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:43.153 align:middle line:90% that went into that. 00:02:43.153 --> 00:02:45.090 align:middle line:84% But I do think ultimately, you know 00:02:45.090 --> 00:02:47.665 align:middle line:84% he's going to have his Jersey retired by the heat. 00:02:47.665 --> 00:02:48.290 align:middle line:90% Yeah, no doubt. 00:02:48.290 --> 00:02:50.915 align:middle line:84% But it's also a testament to the organization as you mentioned, 00:02:50.915 --> 00:02:53.750 align:middle line:84% that they rebounded from losing LeBron better 00:02:53.750 --> 00:02:57.080 align:middle line:84% than any other team that has lost LeBron hello 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:58.880 align:middle line:90% Cleveland a ranch hand out. 00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:01.000 align:middle line:90% Appreciate your time. 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:06.000 align:middle line:90%
