Show Notes

There is no 'Heat Culture' without Pat Riley.


Dan Le Batard and the legendary, nine-time NBA championship winning player, coach, and executive, leave nothing off limits in looking at a life, career, and unrelenting mentality that has shaped a league and culture for generations. Dan and Pat go through the successes, criticisms, and blow ups - including their 30 year relationship - to unearth what it was really like forging one of the NBA’s greatest legacies. Pat illuminates his journey crafting Heat Culture - what it was really like at the start of it all, what the team means to him today, and digging into his controlling and deeply emotional relationship with the game. From reminiscing about early days, to where things stand in today's NBA, Dan and Pat hold a brutally honest mirror to one of the most iconic and influential careers in all of sports.
