Earlier today, newly drafted Miami Heat point guard Shabazz Napier appeared at a news conference and was introduced by Pat Riley, who told the media there would be no questions about free agency, then retreated to his office to work on getting LeBron back.

Head Coach Erik Spoelstra and Napier then fielded questions from the media for about 25 minutes. If you were stuck at work and unable to see or hear the conference, here's everything you need to know:

Riley would not address free agency, "I'm going to back upstairs and crunch some numbers."

Erik Spoelstra on Napier: "He was the guy I watched the most film on and the guy that jumped out the most."

Erik Spoelstra on Napier being LeBron's preference: "Hey, we're all big fans of him and how he played. How could you not be?"
