Pat Riley's look -- How the former L.A. Lakers coach keeps up his good looks

Former L.A. Lakers coach Pat Riley had the best record in NBA history, but the two things fans ask him most are: How do you do your hair and where do you get those clothes? NBC's new basketball host primps with ''water, Sebastian High- Contrast Gel, and High-Contrast Hairspray. The whole thing takes about a minute and a half, and you couldn't mess it up with a sledgehammer.'' And the duds? ''Ninety percent is Armani.''

How will he ever don that fabulous NBC blazer?
