Pat Riley Absolute Quotations

I think people got a view of absolute greatness, back and forth. The bigger the moment, both of them stepped up even bigger and bigger.

People got a view of absolute greatness. It's absolutely beyond description. I haven't seen players do that in a long time.

The upside is there could be absolute power dominance inside. But the downside is somebody could say, 'OK, you're going to go big, I'm going to go with five guards -- one shooting center and four guards.' And then who's going to beat who first?

They were a step ahead of us because of their effort and their energy and their absolute desperation to make the playoffs. When you get a team with that frame of mind, they are going to be a step ahead of you.
