Riley was the head coach of the Lakers from 1981 to 1990, and he led the team to four NBA championships during that time. He also won a fifth championship as the team's general manager in 2000.

Riley is considered one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, and he is also a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
