Riley’s the Big Mover and Shaker in Miami

So which member of the Miami Heat showed off the sweetest dance moves at the team’s victory celebration? Would you believe Pat Riley?

“His arms go side to side and his feet really don’t come off the ground too much,” NBA Finals most valuable player Dwyane Wade said of his coach’s style, “but he’s real smooth with it.”

Added Dan Shanoff at ESPN.com: “Not only did he dance, but he did it well, shaking his hips and keeping rhythm like he was ready to set up a pole and start collecting dollars to sign the next crop of free agents he’ll need to defend Miami’s title.”

Heating up: Marveling that no arrests were made during the celebration Friday in Miami, SI.com’s Pete McEntegart added: “Even more shockingly, none of the quarter-million revelers were whistled for a foul on Dwyane Wade.”

Trivia time: In the early years of the NBA, a team could forfeit its first-round draft choice in favor of a territorial pick, selecting a player who presumably had a strong local following. The Lakers made such picks in 1964 and 1965. Whom did they select?

On the sidelines: Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova were among those questioning the desire of Serena Williams to get back into shape. She is absent from Wimbledon this week after winning titles in 2002 and 2003.

Wrote syndicated columnist Norman Chad: “Martina Navratilova is, like, 80, and she’s at Wimbledon playing doubles. You’re 24 and you’re at South Beach playing singles bars.

“I know, I know -- you had to withdraw from Wimbledon because of your ‘chronically sore left knee.’ Maybe it’s chronically sore from standing in line at clubs, running across sandy beaches and searching endlessly for the perfect camisole. Your idea of rehab is pricing StairMasters online while watching ‘The Simple Life.’ ”

No easy feat: Last year with the Houston Astros, Roger Clemens lost eight of 21 decisions despite an earned-run average of 1.87.

“It was eight times we were shut out in his starts,” Manager Phil Garner told Fox Sports radio. “I mean, you can’t even do that if you tried. If I tried to manage a shutout, you can’t really do it, ‘cause somebody’s going to mess up and hit a home run or drive in a run somewhere.”

Body of evidence: “One of the problems American fans have with the World Cup is all the melodramatic writhing on the ground when the players try to draw penalties,” said comedian Alex Kaseberg. “In fact, there hasn’t been this much bad acting since the Madonna film festival.”

Looking back: On this date in 1993, New York Mets pitcher Anthony Young lost, 5-3, to St. Louis to eclipse Cliff Curtis’ major league record of 23 consecutive losses, set with the Boston Braves in 1910-11. Young went on to lose 27 in a row. He retired with a 15-48 record.

Trivia answer: The Lakers picked Walt Hazzard in 1964 and Gail Goodrich in 1965. Each led UCLA to an NCAA championship in his senior season.

And finally: Actor Jack Black, on “Best Damn Sports Show Period,” said of naming his newborn boy: “I was thinking about carrying on the rhyme and naming him Shaq Black.”
