This is the best Player's Tribune piece so far.

What’s the analytics on that?

That’s a W.

Then I hit ’em with the pose.

Great article. I'm glad Dion found the right team. Always knew he had it in him.

Then I met Pat Riley.

I walked into his office and … damn. The hair was slicked back, and he was wearing one of those suits of his, you know, real O.G., looking like a million bucks. Behind him, he’s got photos of all his championship teams lining the walls. He’s wearing one of his nine rings.

He’s sitting there looking like De Niro in Casino. He’s looking like the boss. He’s looking like he’s seen it all, because he has.

GOAT

(I know Kev is reading this right now, like, “Thank God this dude is at home doing articles instead of lurking in the playoffs.)

You didn’t wanna see us, Kev!




( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I’d be squeezing his hips, right in the weak spot.

I loved it.

Dwyane Wade is now my second favourite player of all time.

Goosebumps when I got to the golden State game. Didn't know it was like that.

When I first heard the news on the Dion signing, I let out an audible 'F***' at work. Jump forward one year and I'm getting hyped reading articles about the man.

2018 is the year of dreams, y'all.

I used to hate this guy and poo pooed on Riley for signing him. Now I can't imagine him not being on this team next year.

Great article.

I just hope the fanbase doesn't turn on him or the team when the expectations rise next season.
