The Miami Heat are facing one of their worst periods in nearly twenty years, having lost nine consecutive games and falling 11 games below .500, a condition reminiscent of 2007-08. On the day Pat Riley celebrated his 80th birthday, ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith criticized him regarding LeBron James' departure, referencing Dwyane Wade's comments about LeBron's affection for cookies. Wade recounted an instance where LeBron's cookies were not available on a plane, suggesting that Riley's micromanagement affected team morale during a successful era.
"One thing you don't do is f-k with LeBron's cookies... where are my cookies? They had to come up and whisper in his ear that there were no more cookies on the plane."
"You're Pat Riley and your legacy is gonna be... what people are gonna say?! 'LeBron James left for chocolate chip cookies.'"
