5:34 Shannon is too funny 😂😂
Doc screw Mcgrady by not letting Duncan go to the Magics. He won with Celtics when he let Rondo run the PlayStation when he changed that him and rondo bumped heads Celtics never won again. He should've let Chris Paul run plays on Clippers he screwed up. Doc really isn't a great coach.
He’s a regular season coach doesn’t make adjustments in playoffs he’s a average coach he won bc he had four hall famers on the team
He’s a average coach like he’s not a great coach he won with three hall of famers and since then has done nothing but bounce out of the playoffs every year he’s just average
If Lebron James had said what Doc Rivers had said, Lord Have Mercy Stephen A would have an aneurysm
It’s so dumb, losing in 5 or 6 suggests your team weren’t ever going to win. But blowing a 3-1 lead shows your team SHOULD have won, but choked.
Doc is a terrible coach.
He's not coaching. Half the nba coaches are actors.
Stephen A stay being friends with the biggest frauds in the game. Coincidence? 🤔
This gots to be his last coaching job after that comment
Doc had so many great teams, with great players in their prime!and those teams fell flat on their face besides Boston in 08. .
If someone keeps hiring me to coach despite my coaching record. Who's fault is it really? It looks like a scapegoat attempt. To avoid assigning true blame.
I like Doc but the Celtics won in 2008 in spite of Doc. 😂
ESPN is just full of 💩 these days bunch of old jokers
I wish Shannon would use those thoughts when referring to Lebron. It doesn't matter how many playoffs you have reached.
that's like getting an F (51%)on a test and saying:—bro, I got a majority of the questions right. F you talking bout¿
Doc smoking that Jerry Jones strain
Doc in game 7 is the equivalent of Chuck guaranteeing a team winning 😂
But Dod has said this before. He said it on a podcast last summer
Stephen I touch my niece Smith
The playoffs aren't even her yet, and Doc Rivers is shaking in his boots!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👍🏿
I can’t think of any other coach that has done less with more than Doc Rivers. He will go down as the most overrated coach in NBA history
Just being real never being swept is something to brag about but he did himself so dirty with the "but I got 3 wins comment" that it made him look terrible.
UNM N AUSGBERG COLLEGE NOT ALI RTS HE IS MY RAM DRINKS INNOCENT SMELL OFF THE DRINKS HOSPITAL VISITS REPORT N POLICE REPORTS HIRED V. BARR BISHOP PHONE HISTORY CHECK
Dude gets too much credit for that championship. It took a super team to win and I'm sure most of the players criticizing his coaching were from the championship team. Doc just loves pulling the stereotypical victim card
He has been riding that wave if the 08 chip too long.
Giannis will leave Milwaukee….
It’s been almost 20 years since that 08 tittle at what point is this guy not going to get a job
Bucks need a revamp from the top to the bottom
Yeah it was bad to say that but why are they acting like that’s the worst thing ever said by a championship coach in the history of the nba lol. Chill!
Still don't know how this mofo keeps getting head coaching jobs.
So Doc is basically saying “hey, we could be worse”
Doc Rivers is overrated
I can’t think of another active coach who talks more about his legacy. It’s kind of sad honestly, you can tell Doc really cares about how he’s perceived.
Min. 6.59
Doc can't make the players play good or bad. He can only advise. So Stephanie A. Go get some shoes 👟 and a 🏀🏈 and sit 🪑 your tail down 👎
Sounds like tomlin with the never having a losing season they both suck
Doc is just a DEI hire
Nuggets failed to reach finals last year, no negativity from media and SAS.
Conman Rivers for a reason
Dak Prescott looking pretty good with that turtle neck
So can we put the "LEBRON WENTO X STRAIGHT FINALS" argument to rest? 😂😂😂😂
its not horrible nobody barerly remembers phil jackson and he won 11 rings
Doc is Crazy
Needed perk for this segment fasho 😂
Doc rivers was a champion almost twenty years ago… And since then He has been on a string of extremely talented , yet under achieving teams.
And now we know why his record is what it is same amount of wins as Phil Jackson just 10 less championship
He’s not a hof coach either stop it
Doc rivers is truly a terrible coach, that Boston team should have won 3 championships and this hasn’t been a serious contender since he went there. He can’t coach and darvin ham is trash too, the guy should be investigated for criminal fraud for impersonating a coach
