My favorite Pat Riley story
Riley once put a large bucket of ice water in front of him and told his team: "If you want to win a championship, you have to want it …"
Stopping in mid-sentence, Riley plunged his head into the water and kept it there for several seconds, which turned into a minute, which turned into even more than a minute. His players sat dumbfounded watching until Riley finally pulled his head out of the water and finished his sentence.
" … like it's your last breath."
