The Miami Heat will honor longtime team president Pat Riley by permanently naming their playing floor in his honor, the team announced on Monday.
The court at the Kaseya Center will be unveiled with Riley's name on Oct. 23, when the Heat open the season with the Orlando Magic.
Riley, now in his 30th year with the franchise, has led the Heat to three championships and seven NBA Finals appearances. He was also the head coach for the 2006 championship and led the historic acquisition of LeBron James and Chris Bosh in 2010 that resulted in four consecutive Finals appearances and titles in 2012 and 2013.
