But that's the one actually I have in mind.

Hey, listen, I know Eric well enough, and I think most coaches are the same. You... You remember the failures far more than you remember the successes. And so I would say that one will haunt him. Yeah, he's still got the championships and four other trips to the finals and all of that. And hopefully he knows... much he's accomplished in the league and has some pride in it.

But yeah, that one's not going away. That's just who he is and who most coaches are. He will remember. I will say, yes, the word haunt is probably accurate. Do you reach out to him in that situation or you know better? No, I did reach out to him. I could see the pain in I could see the pain in him at his press conference, and I felt for him.

I actually did the same thing in a college game, but I was... That's why these guys who get their first head coaching jobs in the NBA... It amazed me because I was able to make those mistakes. I made that mistake at Castleton State College in Vermont. It still haunts you.

It still haunts me. No one remembers it, but it still haunts me. But I've been there, and when he did it and I watched that press conference, man, I could tell he was in pain. What do you text? No, I just text, I saw your press conference, I feel for you. That's all I say. What, does he heart it? No, he responded to it.

Yeah, listen. I mean, we all would at that point. But it's just... Listen, when you coach as many games as Eric's coached, you're going to have...

things like that maybe not exactly that but you're going to have things like that that you would love to have back that are embarrassing humbling whatever you want to call it it's just inevitable when you've coached as many games as you have a good sense of history and perspective can you please i know it's been 20 years and perhaps people are numb to the greatness but

And we never will again. I mean, it's just what he's done is incredible. I mean, the closest thing we had to it, I guess, was Kareem playing into his 40s. But it was a different time, and he was at a different position, and he wasn't dominating at the end of his career. He was still good, but he wasn't dominating. We've never seen anything like LeBron. He's just...

I think still, though, the most amazing thing, Dan, you and I have talked about it. The most amazing thing to me is he's had this career that is unsurpassed in the NBA. He's been in the limelight since he was in the eighth grade. and what's the dirt you have on this guy? Where's the stain on his reputation?

People go back to the decision when he came to Miami where he simply decided to leave one city and come to another, and then they'll talk about he bumped into Eric Spolstra coming off at a timeout. That's what you've got for a guy who's been in the national spotlight for how many years? I mean, 30 years? 25 years? It's crazy.
