Before Saturday’s game against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center, Rivers, a native of Chicago suburb Maywood, was asked if he thinks about being elected to the Hall of Fame.The question came after a Chicago media member talked about the 61-year-old’s bond with Chicagoland.“I love this city,” he said. “I do. I grew up here. It made me literally everything I am. It’s a great place. My brother’s [Grady] still here. It’s awesome.”Doc Rivers’ father was his ‘biggest inspiration.
Rivers has had a 13-year NBA career with stops with the Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks, and San Antonio Spurs. Now, he’s one of the NBA’s winningest coaches. He is ninth all-time in NBA regular-season victories with 1,045 wins, coaching the Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, Clippers, and the Sixers.
