Doc Rivers on how much longer he wants to coach in the NBA: “I have seven grandkids now, and they’re all eight years and under… It’s probably time to go see them more, so I’ll let you figure out the rest.”
“I have seven grandkids, and it’s time they’ve seen my resume.”
“Damn granddad, you only got 1 ring with KG and the Truth?”
“Would you ask Pop Pop that question?”
The fact that you call it that tells me you’re not ready
A pimento
Pop pop is going to be crushed…
The mere fact that you call him Pop Pop tells me that you’re not ready
I love this
“Uncle Steph has more rings than you Pop Pop.”
POP POP!
POP WHAT!? POP WHAT!???
Pop pop gets a treat?
how many times do I have to tell this kid chicken wings?
Kid named finger
We can all thank Ron Artest to making sure Doc only got one.
PRIME KAWHI EMBIID PG
And Jesus Shuttlesworth
Heard that in Riley’s voice. Time to watch more boondocks
“Grandpa, do we HAVE to keep calling you coach?”
“Kids, show some respect and call me Doctor!”
I mean… He COULD google his grandkids
It’s about time they get on that iPad and google me
The loudest quiet quit ever lmfao
Beating Milwaukee to the punch before they fire him in the off-season for their current shit show.
As long as we don’t have to pay him next year
Idgaf if we pay him, I just don’t want to coach our team.
It ain’t yalls money.
Hell it don’t even affect cap space.
Yeah 👍
Lol, they are gonna pay him if he coaches the team or not.
Not if he retires
If they fire him, he can retire and still collect his paycheck.
While I can’t explain why, pro teams almost never fire their head coaches for cause, which is the only way to not pay them.
The Raiders did it to Mike Shanahan and Jon Gruden and IIRC got away with it.
didn’t ime get fired like this
Preserve his value and his bargaining power when some desperate team tries to bring him in
“Hmm, well I did want to see my grandkids more… make it another couple million and I’ll bail on those dorks.”
“I wanted to see my grandkids. None of those nerds can dunk or hit a 3.” “I’ll let you figure out the rest.”
When the Celtics traded their franchise player and switched to a rebuild, they moved on from Doc because he didn’t want to coach rookies.
Why wouldn’t the Bucks do the same?
Doc (along with management) is largely responsible for the team switching to rebuild mode in the first place.
Doc Rivers is an r/antiwork legend.
Dude has been loud quitting for months and still hasn’t gotten fired.
Monty Williams did it first
Shit Monty did it while you were trying to hire him
What more does the man have to do? He probably walks around the front office like Ron Livingston in Office Space after his character’s mental break.
He’s like George Costanza. He wants to get fired but they’re about to hire him as Bulls GM.
Yeah at least have some dignity and do it like Dwane Casey
Casey is a good guy that everyone likes tho, the game just moved on from him years ago and the pistons gave him a dignified exit
Reminds me of Magic Johnson
Monty Williams would like a word
Used his poor grandkids as props lol
Doc Rivers is Austin Rivers’ sons grandfather
Doc Rivers is Seth Curry’s sons grandfather
Doc Rivers is not Paul George’s children’s grandfather
Paul George and Seth Curry are Eskimo bro’s
Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry are splash bros
DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine are Trash Bros
Giannis and Thanasis are bros
Doc Rivers is 3 of Nick Cannon’s kids in a trench coat.
Thanks Magic!
He has a contract for next season he DGAF
“They gave me a contract, I said, yes.”
I like money more than my grandkids
“I’ve had 7 coaching contracts and they’re all 8 figures and over…”
My daughter asked if I could watch the grandkids and I said “I don’t know why you’re doing this”
Even if I do a bad job they still have to give me my 2 mil. Even if I do a bad job.
I also like money more than Doc’s grandkids, come to think of it
“My grandkids will all appreciate getting a 6 figure inheritance instead of a 4 figure inheritance.”
so he’s Monty Williams
Happiest he’s looked in months. Bout to get fired, and collect 100% of his remaining salary for next season while he plays golf.
and goes on another podcast run throwing people under the bus
Bill Simmons sunburnt from golfing with Doc and Larry David has entered the chat
He doesn’t need a podcast run, he’s already doing it in pressers
Someone else going to hire him?
Imagine if the bulls hire him in their fo
Knowing them? They will.
There will be boneheaded teams that’ll still decided to sign the guy
The Magic
He already has the franchise record losing streak and worst record from his first stint.
Doc is already probably the most hated coach in team history and he disusuaded tim Duncan from coming
Yea but would that really dissuade the Devos’ from hiring him?
Doubt they’ll hire Doc, but I won’t be surprised if they make an equally bad move.
Doc would be a genuine upgrade over Mosely that’s the funny thing
That’s not saying much lol. Mosley is terrible and I’m flabbergasted why he’s not fired yet.
BREAKING: Darvin Ham is signing a 4-year coaching contract with the Orlando Magic
I’ll give him credit though on that coach of the year with the magic. Going even with the team he had is genuinely impressive. He’s always been decent at securing a bad draft pick and just barely missing playoffs
Brian Keefe’s successor in Washington
Something tells me Dawkins would not approve that.
The greatest con artist, dude milked that ring to eternity
Milked it all the way to the Hall
Pretty hilarious for redditors to call a coach with a ring who has the respect of his peers for his years of work as a player and coach a ‘con artist’.
The guy got named to the best 15 coaches list for the 75th anniversary. I’m still flabbergasted by it.
yo just retire we care less
This is the laziest attempt at “we couldn’t care less” i’ve seen so far.
OP has cared less before, just check their resume
How much less could you care
Bro i bet you haven’t googled his resume
Seriously
But have they seen your resume?
Doc Rivers: “Losing three seven game series, no one else can say they done this”
Bulls new head coach
Bulls Fans: https://media.tenor.com/GlIXjrD9YO0AAAAe/kid-cross.png
“I still don’t know why you’re doing this”
Why can’t his grandkids just google him
This is the best comment here
Just retire already Doc
Me when I know I’m getting fired on Friday.
He knows he’s getting fired
The hate is real 😂😂 good luck DOC 💯
This dude is the most overrated coach in NBA history. All the talent he’s had and only ONE ring.
People will celebrate this before they realize he will be back on television all the time.
I thought he was alright on TV.
zach Lowe … you are fired!
please go away already
Most mediocre coach with a ring ever.
“I’ve raised kids to be better than what they should’ve been.” - Glenn to his grandkids
Ubuntu old for this shit
This man is going out on bottom
This man single handedly destroyed the bucks and is waiting for them to send him home so he can chill
They fired Adrian griffin for no reason
Well you underachieved as a coach so there you go
He’ll find a way to blame this upcoming firing on his grandkids
Should never have been hired for this job.
Dude knows he’s cooked. So he’s gonna try to paint it as his own decision. One of the most overrated coaches of all time.
Hey grandkids, let me tell you a story of how grandpa milked one ring into a 20 year head coaching career.
Doc shoulda retired over a decade ago lol
He wouldn’t be half as hated if he wasn’t such a defensive, passive-aggressive cunt
This guy has been checked out since he left Philly and Milwaukee has been cool with just watching him quiet quit for year.
You have no idea how much I hate this man. How could Giannis see what he did on the Sixers and say “that’s my coach!”
Fuck this bum go to the nursing home already
He’s swindled the NBA for so many years already, he’s better off retiring before being found out by every GM.
Getting fired does not feel good.
…unless you’re going to literally get millions of dollars to chill at home and you already have millions anyway
Then it’s actually not remotely comparable to the 99% of people who get fired’s realities
If you feel sorry for Doc Rivers I just pray that’s because you have the ability to empathize with all 8+ billion people on the planet, because very, very few of those whole 8 billion have it as gravy as he does
Have you ever been fired while getting paid millions for a few more years? Guessing still sucks but much less.
NBA as a whole needs to retire this man already. He’s committed basketball terrorism ever since he was carried to a championship by 4 hall of famers
I love these questions - who cares? Why is this guy being asked about retiring?
Translation: I’m likely getting canned at the end of the season and I will tell everyone that I walked away for family reasons so I can save some face.
Greatest grifter in nba history. Legend.
This guy straight up stole a legacy and tens of millions of dollars. God bless him
Bro you chose to coach the bucks, you didn’t need to!
You can’t fire me I quit
Doc sure wanted to get to seven when he got up to three
Ham taking over as HC next season
Just get off my TV and take your stupid fuckin’ son with you.
Bro got into the hof and stopped caring. Not that he was any good when he did care
He’s begging to be fired lol
Probably a good time to stop choking too
He’s figured he can’t scam any more teams into hiring him.
A bad coach who will be talked about for eternity because of his 2008 ring.
Good riddance man, your children and grandchildren need you and I’m sure you’re a wonderful parent.
they all gotta fight for that inheritance
He got fired again
“Please fire me”
I remember him saying something similar not long after he won the Finals with the Celtics (ie, I don’t want to coach forever, family time, etc.). Safe to say he didn’t quite leave coaching around that time either!
Doc: Bill Simmons podcast here I come!
Can’t be fired if you retire.
Doc you won a title and made the hall of fame (somehow) just leave bro….
getting ready to be fired at the end of the season
They have grandparent’s day now?
He said the same shit the season before he tricked the Bucks into hiring him.
you could’ve see them more after you’re coaching job in LA
Shouldn’t be saying this aloud. Could at the very minimum be grounds to fire him and have some grounds for reducing the payout.
Bucks fans: “It IS time to go see them more, Doc”
thank goodness
Bucks fans and all teams fans with a potential coaching vacancy coming up soon hit the streets for a PARADE.
Best to plant the seed that I want to retire rather than be retired
PLEASE FIRE ME. - Doc
But also pay me the 10 million left on my contract.
this is Doc’s way of demanding 7 grandkid boxes as part of his next contact
Great playing and coaching career Doc. Go enjoy LIFE!!
He has to oversee the grandkid’s resumés
Who’s the next dumb GM ready to throw a bag at him?
Also you suck as a coach so theres that
Loser energy Glenn never surprises us.
Too bad you couldn’t figure that out sooner.
He’s taken grandkids to the park, to slide on the big slide and pretend to be a jet fighter, that on paper probably shouldn’t have gone. You can check his resume.
Get ya ass steppin’ then.
Put a fork in it- it’s over
He’s hoping they’ll be ball players soon
PLEASE GOD PLEASE
This dude finessed some teams.
I got about ten good years left in me.
who is the most insufferable NBA coach and why is it Doc?
Aww man, he’s got to blow at least one more 3-1 lead before riding off into the sunset!
Save me
Dude talks around everything.
get him far away from any NBA team decision making process, the fucker is checked out and has been since 08
Can’t fire me if I retire.
Thank god, clean house please
Doc’s last year in Philly and his tenure in Milwaukee have turned it from people being split on whether he’s a really good coach or not to now almost everyone agreeing he was overrated.
You can’t fire me, I quit
He done.
Please go away already, and get Haslam with you!
He gone
What’s up with the doc rivers hate? I’m I out of the loop or something, did he murder a family of 4, that’s what it seems like in every doc rivers related post.
Talking like he collected all the “3-1 blown leads” infinity stones
He has 10 grandkids if you count the Antetokounmpo brothers.
Should have retired a long time ago
Man what an overrated pos
Can he please go away
So he basically retired
If the bucks don’t fire this man, and instead let him retire or god forbid get a different job with the org, I may have to find a new team to cheer for
He pulled up his sleeve with a tattoo of 7 grandkids. I’ll let you interpret that how you want.
Next Knicks coach, fyi
Why couldn’t have he said this 2 years ago?
Mike McCarthy of the NBA
