Heat president Pat Riley has been involved with the NBA for over 50 years, and when the topic of retirement was raised Monday, he made it clear he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
“I’m 77 years old and right now I can do more push-ups than you can right now,” Riley said, according to the Associated Press’s Tim Reynolds.
Miami’s season just ended in heartbreak after losing Game 7 to the Celtics at home with a chance at an NBA Finals appearance on the line. This would have been the organization’s seventh trip to the Finals ever since Riley first joined Miami as a coach back in 1995.
