00:03 >> News broke last night, Gilbert, that Eric Spolstra for
00:06 the next decade, barring some crazy change,
00:09 is gonna be still coaching the Miami Heat with a huge contract.
00:13 It's very rare that you see something like this happen in sports,
00:17 where universally everyone says great move, worth the money, all in, right?
00:22 Like everyone wants to fight about stuff on social media and everywhere else, but
00:25 you can't find anybody that says that this is bad.
00:28 Well earned, well deserved, six finals appearances as the head coach there,
00:33 two NBA titles, been with the organization since 1995.
00:36 And is the perfect heir apparent for Pat Riley once he eventually steps down.
00:41 I know Pat Riley's in his 70s now, but
00:43 Eric Spolstra really does embody that Heat culture as well.
00:46 So once Pat Riley decides to call it a career as an executive,
00:50 Eric Spolstra will be a head coach and an executive for this Heat team.
00:53 And I couldn't think of a better person to do it.
00:55 And he's gonna continue to lead this team to excellence as he's done last year and
00:59 he'll continue to do.
