Doc Rivers is a famous coach, a former NBA player, and a Black Man in America. In this Quick Hitter from Dave’s Front office, Doc shares two personal stories about his house being burned down by skinheads in San Antonio and how he was frequently harassed by the Los Angeles Police for “Driving While Black” when he was a player for the LA Clippers in the early 1990s. Doc explains how the lessons he learned from his father (who was a Policeman) helped him through those difficult times.

Perfect day to have a person I've not only come to respect and admire, and whose family I care deeply about, but who also happens to be a very good New York columnist. @meanbarb paid her dues and put up with me and @TheFrankIsola many years ago.
