Pat Riley on LeBron James signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers: “While I am disappointed by LeBron’s decision to leave Miami, no one can fault another person for wanting to return home. The last four years have been an incredible run for South Florida, Heat fans, our organization and for all of the players who were a part of it. LeBron is a fantastic leader, athlete, teammate and person, and we are all sorry to see him go. Over the last 19 years, since Micky [Arison, the team’s owner] and I teamed together, the Miami Heat has always been a championship organization; we’ve won multiple championships and competed for many others. Micky, [coach] Erik [Spoelstra] and I remain committed to doing whatever it takes to win and compete for championships for many years to come. We’ve proven that we can do it and we’ll do it again.”
