the only thing Riley didn’t micromanage was Dwayde’s statue
“Hes a grown man, you dont take the cookies away from him” might be unintentionally one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard coming out of a persons mouth.

Who took the cookies from the NBA star? Wasn’t me.
I find it funny that no one’s really doubting LeBrom or Wade about this one, since everyone knows that Pat is THAT PETTY about everything. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pat put some stupid restrictions on every player in his team.
Luka really was meant to play with Lebron, huh. 🥺ðŸ˜
This could be a false memory but I think when James first started out in the league he would eat McDonald’s before games.
FFS. I mean, that guy has lived a life on constant discipline and dedication to beingbin the best shape possible. He had this small indulgence, and Riley said nope? To the best player in the world at the time?
That’s malpractice. Plain and simple.
This is less about cookies and more about having some dickwad fucking around with you when you’re actually performing at a high level. It’s like the same bullshit mentality around Luka. Some fuckwit feels jealous that a star player gets star treatment. That’s all it is with these GM’s/CEO’s.
Pat Riley is Nico Harrison’s father
Quite the strange move from Riley here.
Now Luka and LeBron have all the lemonade and chocolate chip cookies they want on their travels.

I cant believe this shit was actually true lmao
Like Pep telling Messi not to have a coke.
Only Messi stayed an Pep left.
That’s stupid by Riley
I remember when Raptors management was souring on VC (before they started doing the usual media hit pieces) they took away his moms parking spot. It’s always something seemingly small and petty.
Then it gets bigger. With VC he suggested they interview Dr J for the GM position and they did the interview at Toronto airport not even at the Air Canada Centre and kinda blew off VCs hero. Ultimately hiring Babcock.
Always starts small.
That’s why Nico tried a different approach. Instead of removing lemonade from luka, causing luka to leave,nico caused luka and his lemonade to leave. And spread the word afterwards
Nico has not yet learned about AD and his chips

Imagine fumbling the greatest overall player maybe ever over snack food
Need lebron to talk about this in a podcast. Sounds like an actual funny story to hear about.
I love cookies too .me and Bron the same
Lebron – took away his cookie.
Doncic – took away his recovery beer.
So funny.
Also very funny how every one was idignantly on rileys side in the butler saga, after it all kicked off because he went out if his way to shit on how own superstar lol.
No cookies allowed – Heat Culture
Heat fans the only people on planet earth that would brag about not needing or wanting the, at worst, second best player in the history of the sport in the middle of his prime on their team long term.
Jimmy was one of the few modern superstars to be attracted to this militant Riley mafia boss gimmick shit and even then it reached a breaking point.
