In the midst of arguably the most unpredictable season of his career, Doc Rivers has taken a team of role players and an outstanding bench to an unlikely playoff chase, but where does this season rank among Doc’s career with the LA Clippers?
Doc Rivers has done many things in his career. He won Coach of the Year in 2000 with the Magic, a season much like this one with the Clippers and he also won an NBA Championship in 2008 with Boston in a memorable series against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.
Rivers’ accolades go on-and-on from his playing days and his coaching career, but he has also been successful with the Clippers but he still has unfinished business.
For some background before I start, Rivers has coached the Clippers since 2013 after being traded from Boston to the LA for an unprotected first-round pick. He has coached the team since and for a brief period of time led the team’s basketball operations. Of course, that title now belongs to Lawrence Frank but Rivers still makes some basketball decisions.
His move back to coaching has been great for both him and the squad to the point that he was able to shut down rumors that he would be leaving the team at some point soon.
Anyways, on to the list.
