“We’re effusive in our praise of Erik Spoelstra,” NBA analyst Tim Legler said on the All NBA podcast following the Heat’s Game 2 win in Boston. “I’ve said, give me any 10 players, whether it’s at the health club down the street or the Olympic team or any team in the NBA, that’s the guy I would want to coach any 10 players you hand me. That’s how much respect I have for Erik Spoelstra — how smart he is, how passionate he is, he’s energized. Everything you want a coach to be, he is.”
