You don’t get “championship habits” with players like Harden or Embiid.
There’s a franchise that preaches that every season. LeBron happened to win multiple rings with that team.
Pat Riley on his relationship with LeBron:
“I was very disappointed because I thought we were looking at a dynasty or something dynastic. When he left, it was very disappointing.
I don’t want to hang onto that. I want to see him somewhere on the golf course one day, or see him somewhere, and not be unable to go up to a guy that I developed a great relationship with and all the people who were around him.”

Giannis talks about the Heat fanbase:
“I want people at work thinking about the Heat. I want people on the couch watching their favorite show to turn it off and watch the Heat. They talk to me about how passionate the fans are… I only felt it when they were bullying me… I’m happy to be on this side”
