Summary

The NBA season tips-off this week - we look back at the unforgettable conversations with NBA coaching legends Pat Riley and Stan Van Gundy. Stan gets into his relationship with his younger brother, Jeff Van Gundy, what it was like facing off against each other as coaches time and time again, the depth of the love they share as they've gotten older, and what he expects next for Jeff in the NBA. Stan and Dan also talk about how they became friends, seeing greatness in the Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra early on, and the often toxic criticism that surrounds sports today. Then, Pat Riley - the legendary, nine-time NBA championship winning player, coach, and executive - reveals what it was really like forging one of the NBA’s greatest legacies. Pat illuminates his journey crafting Heat Culture - what it was really like at the start of it all, what the team means to him today, and digging into his controlling and deeply emotional relationship with the game.
