Yesterday, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said that it was "almost embarrassing" that LeBron James had complained about a few hard fouls he received during Wednesday's Heat-Bulls game. Heat president Pat Riley did not take kindly to Ainge expressing his opinion, and he just issued the following statement through a Heat official:

Danny Ainge needs to shut the fuck up and manage his own team. He was the biggest whiner when he was playing, and I know that because I coached against him.


Man, Riley is pissed. It's not every day that a team president drops an bomb on a rival executive via an official statement to the media. This kind of thing should definitely happen more often.
