Doc Rivers Reflects on Getting Into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and Those Who Made It Possible
Rivers says the speech will thank the coaches, players and family who helped him reach 1,194 regular-season wins and the Hall of Fame.
- Doc Rivers is preparing his speech for his upcoming induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, focusing on those who guided his career.
- With 1,194 regular season wins, Rivers ranks sixth in NBA history, having won a 2008 championship with the Boston Celtics alongside legendary coaches like Gregg Popovich and Pat Riley.
- Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett will reunite to present their former coach, while Rivers emphasized, 'You don't do anything alone' regarding parents, players, and coaches.
- Rivers cited his 2013 move from the Boston Celtics to the Los Angeles Clippers as his biggest regret, arriving before Donald Sterling was banned by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
- Starting in Orlando, Rivers led a team he called 'the 301s' to a 41-41 record, a success that provided confidence to pursue a long coaching career he now insists is over.
