I believe James when he says he’s open to the idea of returning. I believe he’d like it to happen sooner rather than later. But the way he did it was a great disservice to both his current and former teams. Heat President Pat Riley might have been...
Heat officials, including president Pat Riley, have been calling people who know Kaman to ask about him, a source told FOXSports.com on Wednesday. While there hasn't been any official word on whether they are looking to trade for him or sign him if the...
Last time around he started about 20 months early, tossing some red meat to fans in New York during a now-infamous news conference at Madison Square Garden in 2008. Some batting of the eyes convinced the Knicks to tear their roster to shreds at the...
The comments were just more evidence of James' constant need for attention, for love even, despite the spiteful manner of his leaving. He should have been fined for the remarks he made. He has trhee years left on his Miami contract, counting this one. ...
Riley has made some brilliant moves in his tenure as team president in Miami. He snatched Chris Bosh from the Raptors and he ripped Cleveland’s heart out by stealing LeBron from them. All of that happened in a matter of hours and it nearly won Miami the...
Go Sleigh Bells! Shut up & let me go « Chikapappi Miami Heat: Why Pat Riley Should Tell LeBron James to Shut Up LeBron James would be wise to steer clear of Miami Heat president Pat Riley after commenting that he wouldn't rule out a return to the...
LeBron will continue to be forced to do what he did as a Cavalier carry an offense without a quality point guard, while burdened by a head coach devoid of creativity. He'll continue yearning for home and for fans who actually give a damn about more...

Using it to turn the hottest point guard in the NBA right now, Jeremy Lin, into the greatest point guard in the history of the game. They also had a chance to turn Shaquille O’Neal into, well, some James Brown-Pat Riley hybrid. There’s no other way to...
TNT seems to have found Photoshop and is using it liberally during its pregame show. This all ties in to the Rising Stars Challenge, I guess, but it sure is a bit odd. Jeremy Lin's head photoshopped onto Magic Johnson's body? Yep. Shaq's head dropped...
Now it’s about putting together new pieces into a puzzle. Head coach Byron Scott is getting the most out of the guys that he possibly can. He is squeezing orange juice from a rock. I wonder what LeBron would have been like playing for Byron Scott. I...
It is unknown whether Miami will attempt to trade for the former Clippers center, or if they will wait and see if the Hornets choose to buyout his contract following the March 15 trade deadline. Kaman, 29, was traded by Los Angeles to New Orleans in...
The Miami Heat have the most famous, or infamous depending on your point of view, aligning of superstars with Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Pat Riley put that team together to win a championship depending on those three pieces. The knock-on...

We go in every day, and we're ready to hit the ground running
Shaq is a person that, he’s really bigger than life
We spent four weeks in South Florida ... And besides me trying to date (star) Rick Barry's fiancée, (coach) Bruce Hale's daughter, we had a wonderful time here. I spent most of my time up in Fort Lauderdale, at the Elbo Room.
You never know when you'll get back there
It really has a lot to do with a person's character
We spent four weeks in South Florida ... And besides me trying to date (star) Rick Barry's fiancée, (coach) Bruce Hale's daughter, we had a wonderful time here. I spent most of my time up in Fort Lauderdale, at the Elbo Room.

He’s marketing ... He’s a marketer. He’s just marketing right now. That’s all he’s doing.
I don’t say this with any disrespect to my job because I love what I do, but we are in the toy department. We’re playing games ... This is real.
I wish our politicians would get a little bit more angry
I’m trying to figure out whether or not Hannibal Lecter, the Gestapo or John Gotti, I don’t know which one is worse
