The Los Angeles Lakers recently unveiled a statue of legendary head coach Pat Riley.
Riley won four NBA championships with the Lakers in nine seasons. He took the team to the NBA Finals seven times.
In college, Riley scored 1,464 points during this three-year career at Kentucky. His No. 42 jersey hangs in the Rupp Arena rafters.
