Spoelstra, Heat to host players from Philippines

That's a polite way of saying it's a hassle.

 

Pat Riley, still my hero. What a badass.

 

I think I remember when Pat Riley said that a few years ago. For all he's done in the NBA, that still such a dick move though.
Then he didn't want to coach the Heat during the years post-Shaq pre-Lebron because he wanted to "scout players"......

 

It's a hassle. They need to plan an activity itinerary, provide hospitality, effectively take out several days from their own business and they're not getting compensated for it.

 

Good for him, I remembered when he went to the Philippines and said that he'll try to bring James and Wade one day. So far James had visited the country once.
