Exactly. Everyone knows that the media does this. They are all looking for the "money quote".

If you don't give them a money quote, they have nothing to use. Everything Riley said was good. He just needed to stop before he said anything about an asterisk.

With all of the evidence we have of the media doing this, if you give them the quote, at this point, it's on you.

You would think that he of all people would know better considering the Heat spent the entire 4 years that Lebron was there fighting the asterisk narrative.
Never mind the obvious.....I don't recall Riley saying they should get an asterisk for beating Indiana without Sabonis and a hobbled Oladipo.

There is this thing called cause and effect. Without the cause, there is no effect. In this case Riley's comment is the cause. Don't say it and there is no "clickbait"/effect.

I still don’t like it.

that's fine, but if he didn't want the clickbait then don't make the comment. Did he ever mention an asterisk for his team when they beat Indiana?

the rookie has had, what, a couple good games out of 6? Not hard to imagine Bell might think he can do better?
Have you seen Bell play the past two years? This is a rehash of signing old McCoy.
