2013/14 MIAMI HEAT MEDIA GUIDE 3
MICKY ARISON
MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER
In 18 years as managing general partner of the Miami HEAT, Micky Arison has guided the
franchise to unprecedented heights, including bringing South Florida three NBA championships.
As the leader of the most successful cruise operation in the world, the 64-year-old Arison and his
family have always been involved with the team. Although his father, Ted, brought the NBA
franchise to South Florida in 1988, it has only been since Micky took control in 1995 that the
HEAT has evolved into one of the NBA’s top organizations.
Arison, who was elected Chairman of the NBA Board of Governors in October 2005 and served a
three-year term, brought to the HEAT the same standard of excellence that propelled Carnival
Corporation & plc into a global vacation leader. One of Arison’s first moves was to dramatically re-shape the franchise by hiring
Pat Riley, one of the NBA’s all-time winningest coaches, as Miami’s President and that began a run of sustained excellence.
Together, Arison and Riley have built an organization that is considered one of the NBA’s elite franchises. In addition to
winning NBA championships in 2006, 2012 and 2013, with Arison and Riley at the helm, Miami has made the playoffs in 15
of the last 18 seasons, winning 10 division titles, four Eastern Conference championships and advancing to the Eastern
Conference Finals six times. The 10 division titles the HEAT has captured over the last 18 years are the most in the Eastern
Conference during that span and second most in the NBA.
Arison and Riley have been able to maintain a level of excellence in Miami by pulling off some of the largest acquisitions in the
league. They initially built the foundation of success by acquiring franchise cornerstones Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway.
Next came Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O’Neal and a blockbuster 13-player trade, the largest in NBA history, in which they
acquired James Posey, Jason Williams and All-Star Antoine Walker, all key cogs in Miami’s first title run. The groundwork for
Miami’s 2012 championship was built in the summer of 2010 when Arison and Riley played key roles in re-signing Dwyane
Wade to a multi-year contract and acquiring perennial NBA All-Stars LeBron James and Chris Bosh via sign-and-trades.
Previously Arison showed his commitment to the fans of South Florida when he worked successfully with Miami-Dade public
officials to keep the HEAT in downtown Miami. The result of his diligence was an innovative public-private partnership that
together built the county-owned state-of-the-art AmericanAirlines Arena that fans enjoy and the three-time NBA Champion
HEAT calls home.
Arison has enjoyed an all-star business career as well, growing up in the cruise business and spending the better part of two
decades learning it from the ground up before being named chairman and CEO of Carnival Corporation & plc in 1990. Earlier
this year, the role of Carnival Corporation & plc chairman and CEO was split with Arison continuing to serve as chairman and
longtime Carnival board member Arnold Donald being named CEO.
Arison followed his education with a two-year stint in the Carnival Cruise Lines sales department. He became reservations
manager in 1974, and took over the post of vice president of passenger traffic in 1976, succeeding to the presidency in 1979.
In 1990, he was appointed chairman of the company’s board of directors.
In 1987, the company went public, generating $400 million for future expansion. As Carnival continued its growth through
the traditional avenue of new ship construction, Arison also sought to expand the company’s cruise operations by entering
new market segments of the industry.
In 1989, Arison engineered the acquisition of the venerable Holland America Line, giving Carnival entry to the premium
segment of the cruise industry. Arison also led the company’s effort in the acquisition of ultra-luxury leader Seabourn, as well
as Cunard, operator of the world’s most famous ocean liners, and Costa Cruises, Europe’s number one cruise company.
Arison also spearheaded Carnival Corporation’s acquisition of P&O Princess Cruises, one of the most recognizable names in
travel, in a deal valued at approximately $8.2 billion. The combined Carnival/Princess group, named Carnival Corporation &
plc, is the largest cruise operator by far, with a diverse portfolio of brands catering to vacationers from all over the world. The
Carnival/Princess entity is truly a global vacation leader with its stock trading on both the New York and London exchanges.
Under his direction, Carnival Corporation & plc has grown into the largest, most successful cruise operator in the world.
Arison’s keen attention to marketing and growth priorities has also increased revenues from approximately $600 million in
1988 to more than $15.4 billion in 2012.
Today, as chairman of Carnival Corporation & plc, he oversees diversified travel and tourism holdings, including cruise ships
serving virtually every market segment – from contemporary to ultra-luxury – as well as leading tour operators and hotel
chains in Alaska and the Yukon Territory.
The Arison family and Carnival Corporation & plc is devoted to South Florida and over the years has supported a variety of
arts-related and community service organizations.
Organizations supported by the Arison family and Carnival include the New World Symphony, The National YoungArts
Foundation, Miami Children’s Museum, Jackson Memorial Foundation, Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, Project Medishare
for Haiti, American Red Cross, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, United Way, Chapman Partnership and many others.
Arison’s contributions to the cruise industry have been recognized by a wide range of international organizations. He has been
named an “Officer of the French Legion of Honor” – the country’s highest civilian honor – by French President Jacques
Chirac, received a honorary doctorate in naval architecture from the University of Genoa, and has been awarded the
Decoration of Commander, First Class, of the Order of the Lion of Finland by the President of the Republic of Finland. He has
also been awarded the insignia of “Onorificenza al Merito della Repubblica Italiana” by the President of Italy, which confers
that country’s highest title on a civilian.

e
Nick Arison, who has been associated with successful teams on every level of basketball and has n
t
been a part of championships with the Miami HEAT, Duke University and USA Basketball, enters
his 11th year as a full-time member of the HEAT organization and his third as Chief Executive
Officer. Arison oversees the day-to-day operations of the franchise and is a limited partner in the P
team. He also has served as the alternate governor since the 2005-06 season and is a member lay
of the NBA’s Competition Committee. e
r
s
The promotion to his current position on July 22, 2011, was a natural progression for Nick, who
has grown up with the HEAT. His grandfather, Ted Arison, was one of the team’s original founders
and his father, Micky Arison, bought the controlling share of the franchise and was named Managing General Partner on Feb. 1

Arison has served the HEAT in a variety of positions over the years and has learned the business from the ground up. He R
initially started working for the HEAT organization as a team attendant for four seasons from 1995-99. He then served e
v
summer internships in the Arena Operations, Community Affairs and Sales and Marketing departments before becoming a ie
full-time staff member on the business side of the organization in 2003 as an Account Manager, Premium Partnerships. In w
2006, he was promoted to Director of Corporate and Premium Services where he oversaw the Account Management Team.
Prior to the 2008-09 season, he was named Vice President, Basketball Operations where he worked directly with HEAT
President Pat Riley and Senior Vice President, Basketball Operations/Assistant General Manager Andy Elisburg on overseeing Re
the basketball side of the organization and played an active role in the recruiting and procurement of talent. During the c
o
summer of 2010 he was instrumental in the re-signing of Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem, as well as the acquisitions of rd
LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Mike Miller. He also played a significant role in the recruitment of Shane Battier in 2011 and s
Ray Allen in 2012. All of these players were cornerstones in the Miami HEAT’s Back-to-Back NBA Championship teams in
2012 and 2013. A rising star in the business, Arison was selected as one of SportsBusiness Journal’s “Forty Under 40” in
2013, an award that honors the most promising young executives in sports business under the age of 40.
P

2013/14 MIAMI HEAT MEDIA GUIDE 5
PAT RILEY
PRESIDENT
Beginning his 19th season in Miami, HEAT President and Hall of Fame inductee Pat Riley has a
resume that is unquestionably one of the most impressive in all of sports. Few in any profession
have achieved the levels of success that Riley has accomplished while serving various roles in
nearly half a century of dedication to the game he loves. The list of accomplishments for the
nine-time NBA champion is equally long and impressive.
When Riley first arrived in Miami in September of 1995 he spoke about his vision of a
championship parade down beautiful Biscayne Boulevard. That vision has been fulfilled three
times, as under his guidance the HEAT have become just one of 10 NBA franchises to win multiple
championships, claiming the league’s top prize in 2006, 2012 and again in 2013. For Riley, winning a championship was
nothing new. He arrived in Miami with a championship pedigree having previously won NBA titles as a player, assistant coach
and head coach. It’s that record of success that led to him earning the highest praise that can be bestowed upon an individual
in the NBA. On September 5, 2008, in his first year of consideration, Riley was enshrined with the class of 2008 into the
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Riley has established a standard of excellence within the franchise, both on and off the court, that has continually allowed the
team to reach unprecedented heights and has positioned it as one of the most respected and successful in the NBA. Never was
that more evident than when Riley guided his group of “15 Strong” to the franchise’s first NBA championship in Dallas on June
20, 2006. After the game, Riley commented that he had packed one suit, one shirt and one tie for the trip to Dallas. What he
brought back to Miami was one championship, fulfilling that vision he spoke about when arriving in Miami in 1995. In 2012
and 2013, he watched his hand-picked successor Erik Spoelstra guide teams that he put together as HEAT President once again
reach the top of the mountain and enjoy back-to-back championships in an arena built largely as a result of his success. It’s
that success and the sacrifices he made along the way that has earned the respect of his peers and led to him receiving the
Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Basketball Coaches Association during the 2012 NBA Finals.
For the past 18 seasons, Riley’s influence can be found throughout the HEAT organization as he has transformed the team
from its early years to one of the most successful and desired destinations throughout the league. His work off the court
constantly re-shaping the roster has been crucial in the HEAT winning three championships on the court. Never was that more
evident than the summer of 2010. After two seasons of positioning the HEAT to be a major player in the 2010 free agent
pursuit, while still remaining competitive and earning a pair of postseason berths, Riley proved to be the architect of one of
the most successful off-seasons in NBA history. His work the previous two seasons put Miami in position to be able to add
several key pieces in the 2010 free agent market and he delivered a star-studded class. In addition to accomplishing his stated
mission of re-signing Dwyane Wade to a long term contract, he also convinced perennial All-Stars Chris Bosh and LeBron
James to combine forces and join the HEAT to help form the core of what should be a championship contender for years to
come. The trio has paid immediate dividends helping lead the HEAT to the NBA Finals in each of their three seasons together.
The star power Riley has assembled has also produced great results off the court as well, as Miami has led the NBA in road
attendance and sold out every home game in each of their three seasons together. As a result of his efforts pulling off a major
coup, Riley was named The Sporting News 2010-11 Executive of the Year and shared the NBA’s Executive of the Year award.
For Riley the summer of 2010 was just one more example of him working his magic in the front office. Since his arrival in Miami,
he has engineered some of the biggest trades in the NBA. Previously he had made deals to acquire All-Stars Alonzo Mourning,
Tim Hardaway, Eddie Jones, Shaquille O’Neal and Shawn Marion as well as add talented players Brian Grant and Jamal
Mashburn. Additionally, prior to the 2005-06 season, he made headlines as he helped engineer the largest trade in NBA history,
a five-team, 13-player blockbuster, in which the HEAT obtained All-Star Antoine Walker from Boston along with Jason Williams
and James Posey from Memphis, all key contributors in the HEAT’s first NBA championship. He has also used the free agent
market in the past to help build the HEAT into a championship team. Riley made a big splash in the summer of 2003 when he
signed free agent Lamar Odom, who went on to enjoy his finest NBA season before becoming the centerpiece in the trade to
acquire the then 11-time All-Star O’Neal. He has also used the free agent market to acquire solid veterans Mike Miller, Shane
Battier, Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis and Chris Andersen to all be key parts of this championship franchise. Riley has also helped
shape the HEAT through the years with the successful drafting of Dwyane Wade and Caron Butler and also scored with the
signing of undrafted free agent Udonis Haslem, who has gone on to become the all-time rebound leader in franchise history.
Riley’s keen eye to spot talent has not been limited to just the players. His two head coaching hires have proven to be extremely
successful as well as he promoted former assistant coaches Stan Van Gundy and Erik Spoelstra, giving each their first NBA head
coaching job. Both have rewarded that faith by becoming among the best coaches in the NBA. Each has guided teams to the
NBA Finals during their head coaching careers and has won over 60 percent of their games. When Spoelstra led Miami to back-
to-back NBA championships in 2012 and 2013 he became one of just 13 coaches in NBA history to win multiple championships
and one of only eight to win consecutive
championships. His 50 wins and .633 winning

m
Partner Micky Arison agreed to send a first-round draft pick and $1 million dollars to the New York Knicks on September 1, en
1995 for the rights to Pat Riley. One day later, Riley was named the team’s fourth head coach and team president. From that t
point, the face of the organization changed. Riley brought with him star power, a proven track record, professionalism and
results. Since he arrived in 1995, the HEAT has compiled an 826-602 (.578) record, the best record in the Eastern Conference P
over that 18-year span and tied for fourth best in the NBA. Miami has made 15 postseason appearances under his leadership la
and has captured 10 division titles, the most in the Eastern Conference over that span. ye
r
Riley’s resume is filled with milestones during an NBA career that spans 45 years as a player, assistant coach, head coach, s
administrator and broadcaster and has produced nine NBA championships. He has compiled a 1,210-694 (.636) all-time
record guiding the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and the Miami HEAT during a 24-year head coaching career that is
1
one of the most impressive in all of sports. His 1,210 regular season victories place him fourth on the NBA’s all-time list, his 2
/
1,904 games coached ranks seventh and his .636 winning percentage in the regular season places him eighth in league history. 1

Riley averaged 50 wins per season in his coaching career. Additionally, his 171 postseason victories and 282 postseason R
games coached each rank second in NBA history and his .606 postseason winning percentage is eighth best all-time in the e
v
league annals. His five NBA championships as a head coach tie him with John Kundla for the third highest total in NBA history. ie
As a result of his many accomplishments, in 1996-97 as the NBA celebrated its 50th Anniversary, Riley was named one of the w
Top 10 Coaches of All-Time by a panel of media who regularly cover the league. Simply put, Riley is a winner.
No matter the odds, “getting the job done” has never been a problem for a person who has seen winning from all angles. As R
a youthful role player for the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers, Riley earned the first of his nine NBA championship rings. He ec
claimed another as an assistant under Lakers o
coach Paul Westhead in 1979-80. The New York rd
s
native collected four more titles for the Lakers
as the team’s top man in 1982, 1985, 1987 and
1988. Eighteen years later, he guided the HEAT
to their first NBA Championship, his fifth as a P
head coach, and then in 2012 and 2013 he la
y
claimed rings eight and nine as HEAT President. o
The 18-year span between championships as a ffs
head coach established an NBA record. As a
head coach, his teams advanced to the NBA
Finals nine times, the Conference Finals on 12
occasions and captured 18 divisional
H
championships, nine conference championships is
and five NBA titles. He has been honored as the to
NBA Coach of the Year on three occasions, the ry
only coach in NBA history to receive the award
with three different teams. Riley has also
captured NBA Coach of the Month honors 11
times. His 21 total postseason appearances as a A
head coach are tops in league history, two more Roll-
than Hall of Fame coach Red Auerbach and his steTim
string of 19 consecutive postseason re
appearances as a head coach from 1982-2001
set a league record for consecutive postseason
appearances. Riley has also served as a head N
coach in nine NBA All-Star games. B

In his illustrious career, Riley has guided his /N
teams to at least 50 wins in a season 17 times BA
and has amassed seven 60-win seasons, D
L
achieving the milestone with each of the three
franchises he guided. Both his 17 50-win
seasons and seven 60-win seasons tie the most O
p
by a coach in NBA history. When he began the p
2000-01 season with an Opening Night victory on
over Orlando on November 1, he became just e

the second coach in NBA history to reach 1,000 ts
wins. Riley currently stands as the all-time
leader in regular season wins and ranks second
in postseason victories for the HEAT and ranks
second in both categories for the Lakers. M

During his first stint guiding the HEAT, Riley led d
Miami to 354 victories and four consecutive ia

March 2007................................Miami HEAT ..............................11-4 (.733) On the eve of his first season in Miami, Riley
changed the look of the HEAT by designing a six-
player trade that brought in Mourning, who became the HEAT’s first All-Star. He sprang into action again on February 22, 1996,
making three trades involving 10 players just hours before the trading deadline that cleared the way for future free agent
signings and brought Hardaway to Miami. Hardaway became a two-time All-Star during his stint with Riley and in 1996-97
was named to the backcourt with Michael Jordan on the All-NBA First Team. Those moves created the foundation in which the
HEAT has been built upon and helped send the message that Riley would do whatever it took to produce a winner in Miami.
And the team has been winning ever since. In addition to delivering three NBA championships to Miami, Riley’s HEAT tenure has
included many highlights. In 1996-97 he garnered a third NBA Coach of the Year honor with his third team, an unprecedented
feat in league history, after leading Miami to a 61-21 (.744) record and the HEAT’s first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. On
February 10, 1998, he became the winningest coach in HEAT history when Miami defeated Cleveland for HEAT win number 134.
During the 1998-99 campaign he led Miami to the best record and the number one seed in the Eastern Conference for the first
time. The 1999-00 season saw the HEAT capture its fourth consecutive Atlantic Division crown. That season also culminated a
dream for the franchise as Riley ushered Miami into its beautiful new home, the AmericanAirlines Arena, a state-of-the-art
downtown bayside arena. The following season, Riley turned in what many experts claim was one of the best coaching jobs of
his amazing career. After re-working the roster in the summer of 2000 by acquiring three-time All-Star Eddie Jones and hard-
working power forward Brian Grant to make a run at a possible championship, Riley had to guide the franchise through one of
the biggest jolts in its history. On October 16, in the middle of the pre-season, Alonzo Mourning, the team’s centerpiece,
announced that due to a kidney disease he was expected to miss the entire season. Despite the devastating news, Riley guided
the HEAT to a 50-32 record for a second place finish in the Atlantic Division and the third best record in the conference.
Before joining the HEAT, Riley spent four successful seasons as the head coach of the New York Knicks. Prior to Riley’s arrival
the Knicks had posted just four winning seasons in the previous 10 years (1981-91). During his four-year stint in New York,
Riley guided the Knicks to four straight winning seasons, four consecutive playoff berths and compiled a 223-105 record.
His .680 winning percentage is the best in Knicks history, easily outdistancing former assistant Jeff Van Gundy who ranks
second (.590), and his 223 victories rank fourth on the club’s all-time list. He recorded at least 50 wins in each of his four
seasons in New York, the only time in Knicks history the team posted at least 50 wins in four consecutive years. The highlight
of his career with the Knicks was leading them to the 1994 NBA Finals, New York’s first trip to the Finals since the 1972-73
season. Riley’s teams won three consecutive Atlantic Division titles in his first three years (1991-94) in New York, and his
tireless dedication earned him his second NBA Coach of the Year honor in 1993.
Prior to leading the Knicks, Riley was head coach of the Lakers for nine years and guided the team to four NBA titles and
three other NBA Finals appearances. After taking over for Paul Westhead 11 games into the 1981-82 season, he led the Lakers
to the NBA Championship in his first season as a head coach in the league. Under Riley, the Lakers became the first NBA
team to win 60 games in four consecutive seasons (1984-85 through 1987-88). He won the Pacific Division title in each of
his nine years leading the Lakers and was honored as the 1990 NBA Coach of the Year. He compiled a 533-194 (.733) regular
season record in his nine seasons in L.A. and won at least 50 games each year. Riley, who averaged 59 wins a season in L.A.,
brought “Showtime” to the Great Western Forum. Under Riley the Lakers recorded a 305-59 (.838) regular season mark at
home. His teams also compiled a 102-47 (.685) postseason record. His 102 postseason victories rank second on the Lakers’
all-time list as do his 533 regular season wins.
After leaving the Lakers, Riley served as co-host of “NBA Showtime” on NBC in 1990-91 before joining the Knicks in the fall
of 1991. It was a return to the television booth for Riley who was Chick Hearn’s partner on Lakers’ broadcasts after his playing
days ended (1977-79). He returned to the bench early in the 1979-80 campaign when Lakers’ Head Coach Paul Westhead
asked him to become an assistant.
As a player, Riley had an extensive nine-year career. He was the 1967 first-round pick (seventh overall) of the San Diego
Rockets for their inaugural 1967-68 season. After three seasons, he joined the Lakers’ in 1970-71 and played five years. He
was a member of the 1971-72 Lakers team that won an NBA-record 33 consecutive games and the NBA Championship. Riley
finished his playing career with the 1976 Western Conference Champion Phoenix Suns.
