Heat coach Van Gundy resigns....

[checkerboard_charly]

i dont buy it. riley wanted to coach this team since they got shaq.

wade is good, he just doesnt have enough leadership.
van gundy out, riley in

[GAVol]

My thoughts exactly CBC. There have been rumblings about Riley coming back for a couple of years now.

[tidwell]

"I just want to spend more time with my family."

Doesn't make sense, doesn't add up, etc...

Being a Shaq guy, I can't wait to see what Riles can do with this team. I compare them to the Lakers of a couple years ago, to a lesser extent. Just a bunch of super stars, same reason the Yankees don't win the World Series every year anymore.

Wade, Shaq, and everyone else they had last year were a few minutes and a Wade injury away the finals... no need to add known cancers like Payton and Walker.

i agree 100% here. those guys are just losers. they cant win.


wade needs riley to teach him to lead this team. screw shaq. they will only win if wade is healthy.


i think riley will be a better fit though. stan rode his brothers name too much.

This came totally unexpected....I turned on Sportcenter when I got home and I see Screamin' A. Smith on there talking about Van Gundy leaving and I was like Whuh???

That wasn't actually a cheap shot, though...I like Screamin' A.

that's why I love him.

He's an obnoxious racist. A white guy couldn't get away with half the crap Stephen A. says.

With that said, he's still rather humorous to listen to.

He has a lot of White Dude's on his show...and he used to have alot of white dude callers on the radio on his show "Hoop City"

One of my favorite things he says is, "Slaaaaavvaaaaa Medddveeeedeeennkoooooo"

I like how he refers to Dikembe Mutumbo as the worst offensive player in the game.

The only problem I have with Stephen A. is that he thinks New York sports (and the Philadelphia Eagles) are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I would be glad to see even the Redskins win the NFC East this season to shut up all the Giants-lovers on ESPN.

But yeah, I still like him better than most others on ESPN. Mike Wilbon and Mike Ditka come close, though.
