Another Co-host

Give it to me. Because I suspect that you will find the entirety of this story interesting. Let's begin with Kevin Love's part in it. Because Kevin Love has been through the fire, had panic attacks. went public with the idea of, man, the pressure when you're the third guy traded next to LeBron to win the championship, it's kind of disorienting.

So Kevin Love went from leading the league in rebounding a couple of times, being the number one guy on an eight-seed Timberwolves team, to do we trade him for Klay Thompson? No.

Jimmy Butler, if he's going to escalate things now, I mean, has the possibility of making a real giant mess, which is an interesting way to end things at the 15 years of player empowerment where it goes from Miami has LeBron. And at the end, the wheels fall off the thing because a player has gotten so much power that he can nuke your friends franchise if he's willing to make it messy enough.

Dwayne Wade propaganda penalty box. Mike Ryan's back there nodding his head, loving the vigorous defense of all he thinks.

That wasn't even the right podcast. Can we be honest? You're now the guy who's just going to throw it to the video room without telling anybody. Let's put that in Amin's hands. That seems safe.

So, Hawk, let me explain just the history. This part of the history has to be in front of people so they understand what has been begotten over the last 15 years. Riley is Belichick. The whole thing, Patriot Way, Heat Way, 15 years of LeBron, you come here to learn, and once you've learned, you can take it with you, but you learned it here. Jimmy, you learned it here.

Like, you can take it with you, but we build that, not you. Organizations win championships. Jerry Krause, that stuff. So LeBron comes with the power, and then at the end of 2014, no, I got it. I'm going to go now build a league, $5 billion with Maverick Carter, because I got it. I got it. I got it. I'm going to go to Hollywood, do what you did during Showtime. I got it.

Me and my crew are going to make leagues and buy Hollywood. I don't need you anymore. What do you mean you don't need me anymore? What do you mean, you break my heart? Like, I will say that's the weakest I've ever seen Pat Riley embarrassed like that in public. And this cannot feel good either.

Like this, and so what might it escalate to when last year they had Udonis on the bench and when he went at SPO, Udonis was there. Jimmy will make this a mess and the player will win at the end if he's willing to be shameless. Like that's how Damian Lillard didn't get here. And one of the things you see happening now is Pat Riley burned by the Frankenstein monster that he birthed.

So this is what I'm telling you. When Jeremy says that LeBron and Wade met several times a day, when LeBron came to Miami at 25, Wade's team, Wade's rules, Wade was doing Riley's work. We meet with the press. Okay, LeBron would say. Shaq had a conformed Shaq. Shaq didn't want that. He didn't want to, but he had to. Shaq didn't like it. Shaq would get into fights about it.

Shaq is the first one to test. Is Riley in charge? Yes, he's in charge. At the end, Shaq, you're going to be outside with your stuff. And that bald guy, security, is going to be walking you out. You can't go get your stuff. We're going to kick you out of the building.
