LeBron wanted Rich Paul, Maverick, Randy, and Lynn …
Brendan Haywood: "I tell you another thing in Miami that was a microaggression that Pat Riley did. LeBron, I didn't realize it at the time until I played with LeBron in Cleveland. I was like, oh, that's what happened.
LeBron wanted Rich Paul, Maverick, Randy, and Lynn Merritt. He wanted their season tickets to be right beside the Heat bench. Oh, yeah.
And you remember where were their tickets? They were right beside the bench, but it was the other team's bench. See, these are the little petty things that go on and little things become big things.
Pat Riley was like, nah, we don't want you to have your crew right beside the bench that you can talk to. He could have put them anywhere, but he's going to be a funny guy. So he puts them all the way at the other.
They used to sit beside our bench. I always thought that was weird in real time and then when I got to talk to LeBron and Mike Miller and all those guys, I realized, oh, Pat Riley was taking a microaggression. That is just my example to show you that these type of little things happen all the time.
