#1 - Pat Riley
The answer to question #1 here on www.BasketballTrivia.Net from the Library of Nick LaCapria's Basketball Trivia is Pat Riley. Riley won an NBA Title as a player in the 1972 season with the Lakers who won their first NBA Title that year in Los Angeles. Bill Sharman was the Head Coach and Riley backed up Laker Great Jerry West. They had other stars on the team like Center Wilt Chamberlain.
Riley assisted Paul Westhead the year that Magic Johnson was a rookie on the Lakers second Championship Team in Los Angeles on the team that also had Center Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
Riley took over the Team as the Head Coach and went on to win 4 more NBA Titles. (So, of the first 6 titles for the Lakers, Riley was part of each one of them!).
Pat Riley went on to win 2 more NBA Titles, this time as an Executive with the Miami Heat. He was instrumental in building both of those Heat Championship Teams!
