After winning the title, Riley stepped away from coaching again in 2008, focusing on his role as team president. In this capacity, he orchestrated perhaps his greatest feat yet: the acquisition of LeBron James and Chris Bosh in 2010 to join forces with Wade, forming the "Big Three" that would dominate the NBA for years.
The Heat's success during this era was remarkable. The team reached the NBA Finals four consecutive years from 2011 to 2014, winning championships in 2012 and 2013. While Erik Spoelstra was the head coach during this period, Riley's influence as the architect of the team was undeniable.
