Riley confirmed an observation by Channel 7's Steve Shapiro -- that O'Neal, before Game 2, touched the Lakers championship ring that Riley wears. ''He rubs it every now and then for some reason,'' said Riley, who coached the Lakers to four championships. 'He said he thinks it's good luck. I said, `Where are yours? Why don't you wear one of yours? Let me rub it.' ''
Asked about it, O'Neal said, ``I don't know what you're talking about. I don't remember yesterday.''

"When he talks, guys listen," O'Neal said. "I've heard a lot of horrifying stories about him, but I haven't seen them. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but he's actually been the best coach I've ever had in the league."
I will never play for any other coach aside from Phil Jackson
I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but he's actually been the best coach I've ever had in the league
Phil is like a father to me
Referring to Phil maybe?
There might be difference:
Phil: coach-father
Pat: coach, period
"I got to win 3 championships here with the great Kobe Bryant. I got to win 1 championship with the magnificent Dwyane Wade. I just want to get as many championships as possible".
