Rivers was an ok player like his son but he was a very good coach

@@handlebucket6285 he was much better than his son, that's a fact!

[@Amick44]

He was a very good PG at Atlanta. Solid distributor and defender. Avg shooter, but above avg in everything else.

He's not that good in terms of winning only won a chip with a superteam

During the 80's and early 90's when real men were playing and winning, Doc Rivers was just another player, he wasn't a guy you could build a team around... remember, the moved him to the Clippers and then in 1992-93 was moved from the Clippers to Knicks... so Atlanta was done with Rivers after this season. Doc Rivers and Austin Rivers were the same player, the difference is Doc was a harder worker and better defensively during his time but Austin Rivers has more talent and ability.

Doc is a All Star player because of hard work.

@@traviscarter1023 Doc is no different than any player that works hard and achieves...some guys are just better but people fit in and find their own way in the league.

@@traviscarter1023 Doc Rivers' son is in Denver and playing well... he's a rotation player and has done a good job because their point guard has been injured.. he's doing okay, just not great but solid enough to be a guy that contributes. I think he came out of college too early and really didn't have a chance to get his feet wet in college, like Zion Williamson and Avery in 1999. A lot of that is ego but I don't doubt the toughness of Austin River, he's just got a bad reputation because his father has connections, but all of those guys who played and made a name for themselves, they would do the same thing(s) if their son(s) were able to play pro ball if they were executives and coaches. As far as a guy working hard, one guy's 10 is another guy's 2 and sometimes a guy is really putting in more effort but he can only go so far because of his limitations. You have to respect guys who just fill their role(s) and do a great job like Robert Horry, Sam Cassell, Vinnie Johnson, Ginobili, Eddie Johnson, John Salley, Horace Grant, and a lot of guys throughout NBA history who get no credit.
