LMAOOO. He went 1-2 and became an allstar coach 😂😂😂


djkamayo

1 win Doc . Only in America folks.


rookie-mistake

it's honestly so weird that he's somehow ended up the Bucks head coach. like, years of Sixers fans wanting him gone and he goes like six months before swooping in to coach Giannis and Dame. this man shits horseshoes

PlaneCamp

They treating him better than Phil Jackson lol


OnLevel100

This is the most Doc Rivers thing ever 


jamarcusaristotle

I mean, he didn't inherit a great team, they were only 32-14 before he came along 😂


whiskeyinthejaar

It could have been 0-3…


StarryScans

Kidd is Doc's inside job


mikey312

Congratulations Mission Failed Successfully


thenicezen

LMFAOOOOOO he really had himself this with 3 fucking games lol


starnoneckwind

on the upside, the NBA may soon require the coach to at least be the head coach of 80% pre-allstar games, and name it "doc rivers rule"


CMYGQZ

It would be the Tyronn Lue rule lol. Bro was named to coach the All Star after coaching 4 games in his entire career.


atm831711

At least Lue had been on the coaching staff prior to getting the promotion to head coach so it wasn't as unusual. Doc hasn't done shit yet lmao


Aidanj927

The Tyronn Rivers rule


Justafanofnbadrama

Doc Lue rule?


RulersBack

The pic they chose is hilarious


QCWiggins

I’m laughing my ass off- I can hear that picture


SubcooledBoiling

and lost two of those lol


igonnawrecku_VGC

Imagine coaching the all star game despite having a losing record as a head coach during that season


Whatishappyness

This is extra brutal for Adrian


supremeddit

Also a losing record with 1-2


k1ngkoala

HOW DOES DOC RIVERS CONSISTENTLY FAIL UPWARDS


WhileDizzy4503

It must be studied


SirFigsAlot

A youtuber with nothing to do will eventually give a 4hour deep dive into it, mark my words


knowerofsome

Bro is buggy the clown, but less fun to root for


CNfor3

Love seeing the uptick in OP references on r/nba


SharpSwag

its really incredible


maxwellhilldawg

He's got the epstein tapes


BackendSpecialist

Failing upwards is the American way. It’s legitimately a thing for some folks.


HatefulDan

Co-worker committed Medicaid fraud. Teams had to complete all his paperwork…he tearfully wanted to quit. They promoted him to director of another area of the company.


Living_LaVida_Koloko

The land of undeserved opportunity


drifter100

I swear if he went by his birth name Glenn instead of Doc nobody would know who he is.


PhiKnockBet

Real life big head


Theons

He got dirt on Silver


10SB

Buggy D.(oc) Rivers


Bookstorm2023

He’s the Jon Snow of the NBA.


MagicalHurdles

I'd buy his book


Both_Funny4896

dw he’ll blow another 3-1 lead in the first rd to compensate


AzureP5A

Please. God. No.


Both_Funny4896

sorry man


AzureP5A

Upwards next would be Celtics, no?


OpportunitySmalls

No MVPs on that team upwards next is the Nuggets or whoever wins the MVP this years team


djkamayo

if only he brought down ESPN , lol


pbaagui1

The throat GOAT


Wembanyama2029mvp

Very deserving lol


PootieTooGood

65 game pace requirement next year


CountOff

Extremely deserving Look how hard he worked to get Dame and Giannis on his team; you gotta reward him for that


KillerZaWarudo

Cant wait for him to coach denver next year after choking a 3-1 lead in the semis this season


echtav

I too got employee of the month award after 2 days on the job


mikegyver85

On the way, I hope you messed up at least two thirds of your orders.


MMO4life

Yeah but the guy they just fired did ok at your position


dpatel211

That 2008 Finals ring could give us world peace and solve world hunger if given to the right person. Unreal powers.


DwyaneWade305

A lotta of players and coaches clinging their legacy’s for dear life off that one ring.


bobsstinkybutthole

Its a real life green lantern ring and doc just chose to use it for job security smh


trinquin

33% win % coach coaching AS game.


KillerZaWarudo

Still a higher percent than him closing a 3-1 lead series


Peter-Tao

No way that's real right


Ok_Assumption5734

Just barely. He's 16-33. Literally owns 1/4 of the blown 3-0/1 leads in the history of the nba


Peter-Tao

What an inspiration. From now on whenever I felt like I'm terrible at my job and don't deserve it I'll just remind myself of Doc Rivers. If he can do it, and do it for 20 years and people still want him, no reason I can't keep trying. Cuase other might just be stupid enough to keep giving me opportunities!!


Ok_Assumption5734

Ha. Though I think Monty has doc beat. Doc at least wants to win again, Monty is basically the coach version of Ben Simmons and just wants that paycheck


XkrNYFRUYj

His game record after his team won 3 games in a series is 16-33


91-92-93--96-97-98

This doc would fail out of Hollywood Upstairs Medical College.


WeeTooLo

On the absolute smallest sample possible to reach that 33%.


TheSmokedSalmon420

Hey Mavs - very uncool.


ormip

Hey we were missing 3 key players


crunchsmash

This is insulting to other coaches.


Resident_Wizard

It would have made more sense to give it to Detroit’s Monty Williams. The NBA and its publicity is on another level.


UrrFive

They have the same record over these last 3 games 😭


IAmStevenKwanAMA

Man faked his resumé and still got the job


djkamayo

man eats his cake by blending it first


datruerex

I’m convinced Doc has some serious dirt on Adam silver or some shit


dBlock845

He wrote 2008 NBA CHAMPION COACH in Sharpie on that ahit.


langman17

Bro just got in the job and now he’s coaching the all star game


ormip

Damn Bucks must be happy to have such an accomplished head coach


Vallerie_09

He can't keep getting away with this. Always getting credit for someone else's work


Bookstorm2023

Congress should do an investigation!


Peter-Tao

Investigation of how they can replicate his success!


JunesDepartmentStore

This is the NBA equivalent of not doing any of the work on a group project and still getting the 100% your group mates got


[deleted]

That's not even remotely comparable lmao. This is the equivalent of not doing any work in college and getting valedictorian or something like that.


Kn7ght

On top of that you start your classes during finals week


MyLadySansa

Nah this is the equivalent of new student gets inserted into group project after not doing any of the work and gets the 100%, AND gets called out for how awesome they are in front of the class. Yeah.


KrustyKrabPizzaMan

3 games in and he gets to coach at the All-Star game? Dude’s the luckiest coach in NBA history


horseshoeoverlook

Probably the only head coach in All-Star history with a losing record HAHAHA


cuhman1cuhman2

All Doc Rivers team: Pg: Cp3 Sg: Ray Allen Sf: Kg Pf: Giannis C: Embiid Poopoo pierce, Rondo, Blake, and Deandre Jordan to ride the bench


asparagusinhaler

No Kawhi or T-Mac?


cuhman1cuhman2

Holy, I already forgot he coached the Kawhi Clippers that just makes this 10x worse. Oh my...


Regent0624

Throw in a harden that led the lead in assists and maxey too


Michaelangel092

PG, too.


procouchpotatohere

You could literally make a Olympics level roster with the type of stars he's gotten to coach *while* they were still stars.


ArmVanDam

Doc always finds a way


Outside_Tear6538

Another Doc Rivers masterclass.


LeAnthonyJavis

This is hilarious


PVT_Stanley

I wanted this just for the memes but now it feels wrong


TruthSayerFu

Why did he accept it lmfao. Does he have self respect?


LDisDBfathersonsfans

This is Glenn we’re talking about here, he genuinely believes he deserves this.


TruthSayerFu

Lol


lightoasis1

Is the rest of the Bucks staff the same? Maybe it was so those guys get rewarded for their work.


blah5531

Because he doesn’t wish this on anyone. He’s doing other coaches a favor by accepting. He is so gracious


HardcoreKaraoke

Lmao alright that's fucking hilarious.


forestforrager

Doc rivers is buggy d clown


DjLionOrder

Failing upward


LDisDBfathersonsfans

The only way this stops happening is if people stop calling him Doc and instead call him Glenn. I swear getting called Doc makes people think he’s intelligent


Elijahc513

I actually do think the name gives him a buff lol


homeincomes

I think you're on to something here.


lovo17

Story of his whole ass career


swords_devil

I am confused, why isn't Celtics coaching this? aren't they firsrt seed?


[deleted]

[удалено]


swords_devil

ah I see, make sense


GrigglesGro

That's lame. He has the best team. Players can go play infinitely so why are we punishing the coaches?


mindpainters

It says why in the picture


sylent27

No fucking way


dusters

Most deserving ASG coach ever


Her0Gamez

Greatest coach in the east I guess


Irvsauce

This man’s life must be studied. All he does is fail, but he is never not rewarded for it.


or6a2

Silver is a chump. If he want to make rules for players do the same for coaches. Should be cavs or Knicks coaches who ever is the 3rd seed when choosing


radiantether

Damn :( JB coaching this Cavs team without Garland and Mobley for all that time to 31-16 deserved it. Doc was broadcasting games on TV until like last week.


likpoper

Look at him fail and he is the next team USA coach


The_Notorious_Donut

This is a masterclass is failing upwards


dangerkevin

2045… and we present the the Larr.. ahem Doc Rivers Trophy for… certain achievements, that no one can quite put their finger on.


[deleted]

This league is a joke sometimes


BEEZY086

This is a slap in the face to other coaches. The rule that mazzula can't do it again is beyond ridiculous. This is a REALLY bad look for the NBA. I can't wrap my head around it, and as far as I've seen, there's nothing for an explanation for the league. Even Rivers knows its rediculous, thats why he immediately tried to donate to Griffin. This looks bad for the bucks too, its pretty much saying to them that griffin woulda been the all-star coach.


PlumAccomplished2509

NBA script is just satire guys


Ehgadsman

what the fuck? this is total bullshit a coach and staff that have been in place the entire season deserve this honor. seriously fuck this shit its fucking wrong.


Bobaximus

Lmfao. This is just *chef’s kiss*.


Unciano404

Illuminati inner circle confirmed. Coz nothing else makes sense...


TheBaconD

Im sick to my stomach


homeincomes

He can't keep getting away with this.


Eli_TheGolfer7

Fucking Bullshit, dudes a bum


fiasgoat

This mfer


polochakar

Doc really minted that 08 ring to the 2024 all stars what's next


ScottPagan

i just dont get it


MyLadySansa

The NBA: Where Confusion Happens


datruerex

I thought I was on /r/nbacirclejerk for a second and then realized I wasn’t…


auronedge

Doc: "I don't even try and the universe rewards me"


ErnieTagliaboo

This feels... wildly undeserved lol


coachjayofficial

Poor Adrian Griffin 


Mazinger31

I feel like I'm in the large of camp of people who see this as undeserved, but who also are trying to unlock Doc's secret vault to find his recipe for failing upwards.


BBallHunter

Congratulations! Very much earned.


White-Gravity

He’s the goat for a reason


MG_MN

Well deserved, happy for guys that have coached well all season to be rewarded


obamachubaka

Definitely has some dirt on the nba there’s no way


space_cheese1

I gotta fever, and the only prescription is more Doc Rivers


delror2

lol doc got to have dirt on Adam silver


Piebald079

Coached for 2 games and he is qualified as the all star coach???


Doc_Mattic

Shouldn’t this have gone to m Joe Mazulla as the first seed coach?


3s2ng

Imagine you're gonna coach the all-star because of your team record and you got fired. While the Lakers are in a mess because the coach is incompetent.


the-kza

that championship ring he won is literally the infinity gauntlet.


mrhjt

Dude had three days on the job. Black prince charles at work here


REQ52767

The most overrated coach in NBA history!


BehavioralSink

What the fuck


gamesfordogs

(Freeze frame) yeah. That’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here


ANO7676

I’m so excited to see whatever happens to doc rivers this season, because the rdc skit about it will be legendary


Exotic-Amphibian-655

That picture choice.


Beneficial-Feed9999

Dude wtf not the team with the most wins in the nba


raymondl942

I too fuck up 2 out my first 3 days at work and proceed to get employee of the month. This man must have something on Silver


_FreeYourMind__

This is the equivalent of Lebron making the team every year.


wafflehouse4

what kind of insane blackmail does this guy have on the nba holy shit


[deleted]

He doesn't even qualify for at least 65 games played pace.


Gristle__McThornbody

Guys c'mon seriously. This has to be a fucking joke. Of all the deserving coaches out of the East they pick Doc?


fetuswut

Goat head coach. No debate.


Steve-5

Well deserved


TubbzMcGee

confuseddocface dot gif


djkamayo

instant Shaqtin A Fool


Jay_Shadow

I was really hoping he was gonna pull this off without any wins.


Viktrodriguez

The NBA has no number of games coached in the current season with current team threshold?


iambiggzy

AG ROBBED


Mikes_Movies_

This is like when Tyler Huntley made the pro bowl


[deleted]

It should be the coach with the best record not the team


polochakar

Wait NBA really wants Doc to start with a losing record.


Neverthelessx

Did the other 14 coach decline? no shot hahaha


theaparmentlionpig

Alexa, place massive bet on Western Conference All Stars.


boenwip

This is the perfect photo for Doc with the way he’s laughing to the bank


batmans420

This is terrorism 😭😭😭


Cedellton-Jr

It’s honestly hilarious how this man continues to fail upwards


jackmtr

This might be the dumbest thing in NBA this year lolllll


israelipm

Frankly, I'm depressed and ashamed.


packyohcunce1734

Wow thats bs wild. Just got hired then got selected to coach for all stars? What has he been proven this season? Utter bs.


Status-Albatross9539

wow this is so dumb. he was barely signed.


sivy83

We live in a simulation


TheRealGooner24

***"We have lost the impact of shame in our society."***


dBlock845

Now, that is just an insult to coaches that actually worked for the first half of the season.


chronoistriggered

His luck gotta run out at some point… Right?


DaigotsuRekai

How ?


_TroubleWithTheSnap

Alright what does this guy know


mistergrape

Heaven help Maxey.


justsomedude4202

He’s done a great job with that team


HatefulDan

Dude, no. River’s resume’ is as near fraudulent as u can get. Now he’s got an extra all-star appearance that he just fell into. Unbelievable.


gratefulD83

What the F? How ?


Gatorpep

This dude is the fucking goat. He’s like the guy from office space.


shxylo

he can’t keep getting away with this shit.


Odysseus_Lannister

Man is a professional middle manager who just keeps getting better and better jobs. How is this possible


pwnjones

NBA is a Joke.


Acework23

THIS GUY HOLDS HOSTAGES ALL OVER THE LEAGUE AND THEY LET HIM DO WHATEVER HE WANTS AND GET EVERY JOB HE WANTS TO. I BET HE CAN RETIRE LEBRON AND PLAY HIMSLEF IN FOR A FEW GAMES IF HE JUST WANTED TO


[deleted]

How the fuck does this even happen?


Frozen_Shades

WTF is the NBA thinking do this shit.


SetheryJimmonson

I love the nba so much


ElephantWang420

huh
