The GOAT debate is something that has been going on for several years now. But even after that, when most fans hear about it, they instantly link it to none other than Michael Jordan.
We can spend days talking about how amazing of a player Michael Jordan was. After all, the stats speak for the Chicago Bulls legend. But that doesn’t mean that fans do not love hearing amazing stories about Jordan. While sometimes MJ himself reveals those stories, other times, former players or coaches are the ones to do so.
Former NBA player and current head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, Doc Rivers, who also believes that MJ is the GOAT, recently shared a story about His Airness.
Doc Rivers Got To See The Best Of Michael Jordan
Playing against arguably the greatest player of all time is a great experience for any NBA player. Rivers got an opportunity to do that against Michael Jordan during his career. In a recent video, Rivers shared an amazing story of what it was like to play against the Bulls legend.
Doc Rivers told a great story about playing against Michael Jordan at a mock press conference last night with @REFORM — Rivers is a great personality in this city. The “76ers VIP Gameday Experience” featured @MeekMill @michaelrubin and roughly 30 kids scrimmaged at halftime. pic.twitter.com/0YpvoQKNbG

“I played against Michael. I sure would have rather coached him. I’ll give you that answer. I loved playing against him. I’ll tell you a quick, one story, we played them back-to-back games and I was the starter, I had to guard him. The first game he had 16 points, and he shot poorly and the media was giving me all the shine which I was trying to run from. Michael walked by the locker room and saw me sitting by my locker and said, ‘Hey Doc, you did a great job on me tonight. See ya tomorrow night,’ Rivers said. He wanted it [the rematch]. He wanted it. And you know what? He got it, too. You know what I held him to the next night? I think 42 [points]. It didn’t go well.”
Rivers has always praised Jordan as he even once labeled MJ as the greatest defensive player that he played against. Speaking of this story, it once again uncovered the super competitive nature of Mike. He wanted to get revenge against Rivers, and unsurprisingly, he got it as well.
