Live Bar, January 24 news recently, Heat president Pat Riley talked about the fact that players often take turns off when interviewed by ESPN.
Riley said: “It’s hard for me to tell the difference between the mentality of players in the 1970 s and 1980 s and now. But at that time, playing every game was an honor.
“I always remember two data, and I respect it very much. — 906 and 1192. 906 is the number of consecutive battles when Landy Smith played for Buffalo brave. Then there was AC-Green (who played 1192 games in a row). The first time he missed the game was when he retired. So the mentality of the players at that time was different. At that time, playing the game was an honor.
“Nowadays, playing games is not an honor. The players all pay attention to the rest, everyone pays attention to maintenance, and they don’t want to be injured because they play too many games.”
