00:03 >> News broke last night, Gilbert, that Eric Spolstra for

00:06 the next decade, barring some crazy change,

00:09 is gonna be still coaching the Miami Heat with a huge contract.

00:13 It's very rare that you see something like this happen in sports,

00:17 where universally everyone says great move, worth the money, all in, right?

00:22 Like everyone wants to fight about stuff on social media and everywhere else, but

00:25 you can't find anybody that says that this is bad.

00:28 Well earned, well deserved, six finals appearances as the head coach there,

00:33 two NBA titles, been with the organization since 1995.

00:36 And is the perfect heir apparent for Pat Riley once he eventually steps down.

00:41 I know Pat Riley's in his 70s now, but

00:43 Eric Spolstra really does embody that Heat culture as well.

00:53 And I couldn't think of a better person to do it.

00:55 And he's gonna continue to lead this team to excellence as he's done last year and

00:59 he'll continue to do.
