In re LeBron James, Patrick Ewing, Pat Riley.

“I remember Pat (Riley) was running a lot of different plays and I went over to him and said ‘Pat, forget all those other plays that you are running, I am the one who is going to get the blame if we lose and the praise if we win so the buck has to stop here, get me the ball and let me go do my job...’’

“The Pacers jumped up to try to stop John from coming over the top of the pick and roll. He drove baseline and I just rolled and followed him. Once the ball went up, everyone stood up with their mouth wide open. I was able to come back and just put it in and everyone just jumped.”
-Patrick Ewing.
