Excerpt from a Pat Riley pregame speech.
Do you realize that each of us spends no more than thirty thousand days on this planet? That’s two and a half billion seconds. And do you realize that tonight you are going to be on the court for forty-eight minutes, and that’s only 2,880 seconds. And the only thing you have the power to do today is to go out and play your best for 2,880 seconds? That’s a very small part of your two and a half billion seconds. So let’s make it your very best!
