The moment, which took place during the\u00a0Miami Heat\u2019s\u00a0introductory event for their newly formed Big Three\u2014LeBron James,\u00a0Dwyane Wade, and\u00a0Chris Bosh\u2014in 2010, became a defining statement that set the tone for their championship aspirations.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s great. It&#8217;s it&#8217;s become like almost like a wrestling finishing move now. Now I&#8217;m like, I want it.Now, when he went up four in 25 seconds, I was like, do it, do the night night, do it! It&#8217;s great.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I just feel like LeBron must be furious that he didn&#8217;t think of this. Like, he&#8217;s probably fired his quirk management, whoever the guy is on his team. It&#8217;s like, how did you not give me the night night? I would have been doing that in like 2013. You guys were supposed to come up with ideas like this for me. Why don&#8217;t I have the night-night?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-iframe-embed m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"m-embed l-inline\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"Tb0B4zYyY8I\" class=\"m-video--frame\" title=\"Pat Riley on Lebron guaranteeing titles \ud83c\udfc6\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Tb0B4zYyY8I?enablejsapi=1\" width=\"320\" height=\"560\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Riley, who has seen his share of bold proclamations and high-pressure situations, expressed full support for LeBron\u2019s comments, explaining that they reflected the passion and excitement of the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Riley drew a parallel to his own experience in 1987 when his Los Angeles Lakers, coming off their fourth championship, were celebrated as one of the greatest teams of all time. At the victory parade, Riley made a bold guarantee: the Lakers would win again the following year.<\/p>\n<p>Dwyane Wade, who has previously discussed the infamous moment, provided a humorous perspective on The OGs podcast. Wade admitted that he was caught off guard by LeBron\u2019s confidence but respected his ambition.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cNot 1, Not 2, Not 3\u2026\u201d speech, while criticized at the time, has since become an iconic moment in NBA history, encapsulating the Heat\u2019s dominance during their four-year stretch with James, Wade, and Bosh. The Heat reached the NBA Finals every year from 2011 to 2014, winning back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Pat Riley\u2019s support for LeBron\u2019s bold proclamation reflects his understanding of what it takes to inspire greatness in a team. While the speech may have added pressure, it ultimately set the stage for one of the most successful and electrifying runs in NBA history. Both Riley\u2019s and Wade\u2019s reflections highlight the determination, humor, and camaraderie that defined that era.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pat Riley reflects on LeBron James\u2019 iconic &#8220;Not 1, Not 2\u2026&#8221; speech, calling it a bold proclamation that fueled Miami\u2019s dominance.
