- Doc Rivers remembers back to first playing against Michael Jordan as a member of the Atlanta Hawks. Doc describes how he would mentally prepare for games vs. Jordan and how his endless motor made him so tough. Rivers finishes by saying later in his career their relationship wasn't as good because of their Eastern Conference clash when Doc was on the Knicks.

“Good luck tomorrow, can’t wait to see you.” - Only Jordan 😂
That's pretty funny but to me I would of thoughtk Kobe would of done that more so than Jordan. Lol
midnightshadow I think Kobe tried to hide or at least keep it low key how much he actually mimicked jordan... it’s actually pretty easy to see Kobe loved him and his game, he just had too much pride to outwardly express it verbally. I’m a Kobe fan too
🤣🤣😂
Yea that game Dominique lite him up for 57 points that's why jordan was mad he killed them next game with 53
Basquiat and he did to goat 🐐 man weather u like him or not he is the goat he talk it then he walk it
Doc Rivers defense on Jordan is 90s basketball. Jordan didn’t even flop or called the refs attention. You can’t do that nowadays. You can’t be King without facing challenges to your throne.
Lebron never faced challenges? Tuff
In the absence of the NBA games, this is the best next thing. I really appreciate it.
People don't know but Doc is a really good dude. I hear stories around the NBA all the time about class act things he does
True and some of the younger generation mainly know him as a coach. But Doc had hops back in the day. I remember some nasty slams he had @ Marquette...
I was with him on a flight and he was humble and nice and he was helping people with his luggage lol such a great guy
Doc > he made it out from the chi city .. great coach loved watching him with the Celtics
you aint around the nba, stop lyin'
Doc such as nice guy
Doc Rivers is a class act! I remember going to a Hawks game and me and some of my friends got a chance to go on the court to see the Hawks players up close...so my friends and I saw Spudd Webb warming up and we wanted a picture with Spudd but he was too busy...😞😞😞...So Doc Rivers came up behind us and took a picture with us!
😀😁😀...Thanks Coach Doc Rivers!
Man I miss the old NBA.
Bring it back please!!
Doc rivers was born with his voice horsed
LMAO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😉😂😂
@Erick Onassis 🤣 What❓❗
Kenrick Turner 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♂️
HOARSED* *neighs away*~~
😂😂😂
I thought he'd have his voice back. Still raspy
Erick Onassis 😂😂😂😂 boy im yelling ima wake up the house
The 08 finals, still in this voice lol
@Erick Onassis 😂😂😂👀👀👀
@Erick Onassis lmfao
Erick Onassis Fr? 😂👀
The player sitting on the far right in that photo that Doc couldn't recognize for the life of him was none other than Keith Lee of the Memphis State Tigers. Dude had some legendary Jheri curls.
Man I loved these years.....
Doc Rivers on that line about Chris Paul... : )
Chuck: "Shaq! Powlice presence?!! Are u kiddin me?! 😂😂"
I just saw 20+ videos talking about the last dance today. 🤣🤣🤣 2020 is a bad year, this series bring me a lot of fun.
That was great
My fondest memory of Doc was when Jordan torched him and Starks for 54 pts in game 4 of the '93 ECF.
Thanks for the painfull memory.
Wow that 80's picture brings back Memories can't remember whether it was Playboy or McDonalds but that amazing portrait was etched in my mind because of the icon players and the coolest of photographic compositions.
That was the matchup, Knicks & Bulls - '91 thru '98! Doc was a great part of it! MJ's the greatest ever - Knicks made him prove it every time! Starks & Oakley were warriors!
That was Keith Lee. A beast from Memphis State.
Cool! Ennis Whatley played as an import, twice, in the Philippines. He's in a pretty good company here, I'll say.
Imagine how different the world would be if Doc Rivers coughed even once!
Loved Doc back in the day. He was one of my favorite ballers before he hit the NBA. That was before Mike shut it down.
Young doc legs are goals!❤
Doc is a Ledgend.
OMG... that skinny guy, the shorts and everything, was the one I remember seeing at the Rec. Center in Marquette!!
In 10 seconds of video, you saw more contact than a current NBA Quarter 👍😎👍cool......
Lots of NBA players acknowledge MJ as the GOAT Bird, Magic, Barkley, Shaq, Reggie etc and even coaches. And there are nba fanatics saying LeBron is better than MJ.
LeBron fangays logic
* 3-6 is better than 6-0
* flop mentality is better than killer mentality
* Ring Chaser
Wilt Chamberlain will bully MJ to a game of 100.
@@KofiTheSpitter and yet he only has 1 ring.
@@KofiTheSpitter watch how Wilt play then watch how MJ play, now compare it. You think Wilt can bully MJ with his slowly movements?🤣
😏 I know right❓
@@KofiTheSpitter 😏 He wouldn't if the game is not make him, take him ✅
Ennis Whatley played in the Phippines back then and was amazing. Won the best import and helped his team won the trophy. He was alamost unstoppble.
Great content..10 all da way cross da board
That's some good ole blacktop defense right there 💪🏿
I’m Glad young people getting a little glance about who MJ was on the Basketball court! Yes a BEAST!!!
Doc you where the best coach i feel that boston could of had and us Celtics fans miss you here in Boston you had a great team to coach great players ray allen paul pierce kevin garnett rondo glen davis Kendrick perkins all you guys it was a dream team you worked hard and got a nice championship out of passion and heart and against the lakers again history repeating its self
Gotta love it ! 💯
DOC is the man
Great 📸 Photos
Keith Lee to the right on the floor with the blue Memphis shirt....he was a very good college player.
I can't decide if it's difficult to hear doc's voice or it's satisfying...
That's Keith Lee to the bottom right Doc. Memphis State GREAT!!!!!!!!
Sure is!
Looks like Stephen Jackson a bit lol
Memphis stand up. Legend to us
Yeah he was a straight bust in the pros
Gave Ewing and Georgetown the business in the NCAA Tournament!!!
Glenn Doc Rivers is 1 of Chi Town and Maywood's Finest!! Proviso East High school Alumni Home of at least 12 NBA players.. Doc and his Uncle Jim Brewer led the pack With Michael Finley, Shannon & Dee Brown ..Sherrell Ford just to name a few! Also home of Track & field Olympian Greg Foster..Black Panther chairman The Great Fred Hampton and Astronaut Eugene Cernan!!! My hometown Breeds Greatness must be something in the water! Coach Rivers has been a great role model and is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks Doc!!!!
Maywood Stand up!! When I met him a few years back, I told him how proud I was that someone from the neighborhood had gone on to do great things in life. We even had the same grade school teachers. Generations apart of course. I too walked the hallowed Halls of Proviso East as a proud Pirate!! What a time to be alive!!💯💯💯
Legendary
Amin looking like he bout to ask for change..
He did off air...
Looking Locked up, not down.
Doc- “ that was good defense btw “ lmao
Its an implication there isnt any defence in today's game.
@@seb1598 Zero correlation
I remember watching Glen (DOC ) Rivers playing high school basketball.
What a great photo...
Shout out to Ennis "Enimo Whately, from Phillips High School in Birmingham, Al. He graduated two classes ahead of me. Was the most talented player I ever played against in high school💯💥💣😎
Yo That is Keith Lee- Memphis State.
I only knew because I checked to see which Memphis State players were drafted around that time and he was the only name that came up.
@Ulysses432 if u want to see something disturbing, research that Memphis St FINAL 4 team from the early 80's. Oh .. real quick Ulysses, Keith Lee played with Michael Cage in Highschool and pretty dominated the local highschool scene. Michael Cage had a pretty decent NBA career with his best years spent with the Supersonics. He led the league in rebounds a few years always coming down at the end of season battling Charles Oakley when he was with the Bulls. Could u imagine having to battle the duo of Lee and Cage in highschool!!! ... . Back to the Tiger team.... Every kid on that final four team was born and raised in Memphis except for 1 player. The starting line up was Lee, William Bedford, Baskerville Holmes, Andre Turner and Vincent Askew( another Supersonic)... All 5 were drafted.... But take some time and Google this team. You will find some articles that have been written over the years about this team.. check it out and get back at me..
@Ulysses432 remember he was the rookie of the year over Jordan in the NCAA.
@@posysdogovych2065Keith Lee was the oldest and was drafted first. The next 2 years the other guys follow. Bedford played with the Bad Boy Piston teams,Askew played for the Sonics, Andre Turner played with several NBA teams including the 76ers with Barkley. Turner played mostly overseas and well past his 40s, and Baskerville Holmes was drafted but i doubt he actually made a team. I will try and find some material for u guys to read.
Google- Heroics and Heartbreak , Memphis Flyer March 5 2015
03:55 Doc Rivers gave MJ a Muay Thai flying knee K.O.. I have this in my old video tape, not yet transferred to my computer.
1000 subs without vids that shot looked like it hurt .. I remember being in high school and our coach showing us to life our knee into their body to teach them a lesson if they got in your way
Back than when real man played NBA 🤩
NBA today ---> National Ballerina Association 🤮

Keith Lee from Memphis State is the guy sitting down in front of Sampson and Perkins.
He got the best of you regardless.
The dude sitting down is Keith *** from memphis state.
Keith Lee. He carried the Tigers to their first Final Four in 1985. I remember he was kept on court so much that by the time of their elimination game he couldn't run. Had a brief career in the NBA.
omg I was like 4 in 1985. Y'all going way back for me. Basketball history is so important. Wish more people would realize.
first time i ever saw doc rivers with a beard
raheem mcclashie and non painted hair
Looking like mark Jackson if he smoked

Dope pics. Looks like Austin. Genes is real.
Doc was one tough SOB as a player... love the comment about his voice being still raspy hahahha
He was. Tough defender, moved the ball, pushed it up the floor. Avg shooter, but had some streaks. Very good at Atl. Solid contributor with the Knicks and the clippers.
Doc Rivers thats Keith Lee from Memphis State University Tigers
Doc channeling his best Paul Pierce impersonation

Doc my friend the person you don't remember I think it was Keith Lee from Memphis state about 6ft10 or 11.never really played long in the nba
That's Jon Sundvold in the gold jersey. His Mizzou team had beaten Jordan and NC during Jordan's soph. year.
Arya stark interviewing NBA legends
This is when basketball was basketball, not the wimpy flagrant 10 foul bs of today!
Kids today have now idea, how dangerous standing in the paint was back then. Even if you didn't get hit, there was always the FEAR of it.
Doc " natural savage " rivers
Dale Ellis is not in that photo. That is Dominique Wilkins between Doc, Ewing and Bowie.
Doc ain’t have to yell in like a month and his voice still ashy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯

@IronMike
Lmfaoo word that ring a bell 🔔
I remember them days. Him and Thibodeau will never recover from Boston days 💯
Ash and hash...
doc after the interview " get me a losenger" cough cough
That was good D Coach!😂
Great Pic
What did Rivers say about Chris Paul, I didnt understand very well.
You can when multiple NCAA & NBA championships with that picture. He said Ennis Whatley.
I was thinking Bruce Darylrimple. Georgia Tech.
Kendrick turns the mic down wen he laughs
I like lebron but i like mj the most,, i used to watch jordan and lebron games live of course bcoz highlights and replay games were different,, i like lebron bcoz at 6'8 he's a freak of nature, but watching mj you got stuck on the tv bcoz you dont want to miss what magical play would happen,, ""poetry in motion"",,
Glenn 'Doc' Rivers was named after the great Julius 'Dr. J' Erving. The young ABA Dr. J was as great (and exciting) a basketball player who ever existed.
Yes he was...if his numbers from both leagues had been put together, I believe he would have been the 3rd all time leading scorer when he retired
@@ramonbutler2889 His numbers were put together. The amount of points he scored in his career in total is 30,000. Had he stayed in the NBA for 4 more years to reach the 20-year mark, he likely would've passed Jordan in points because Jordan has 32,000.
Mark price!!🔥🔥😊✊
Keith Lee maybe the guy that was sitting on the ball
Correct, I believe was a smooth lefty.
Remember Keith played for Memphis and was considered the best rookie that year with 50+% From the field and 1st team All American honors etc..
No, they guy sitting on the ball is Ennis Whatley, he was MJs point guard Michaels rookie season, look it up he wore #3, from Birmingham, Al, Phillips High School!
Doc with that goatee i thought it was Mark Jackson
Amin can't wait for that barber shop to open
I didn't know Steve Spurrier played on that team

Kcir Snewo something you keep to yourself

At first i thought it was Matt Damon with the Yellow Jersey
Media plant alert Kendrick “clutchsports” Perkins, up in this bih! Lol
