NBA champion Doc Rivers speaks with Alabama football ahead of 2023 season

Alabama football just added to its stacked cast of offseason speakers. On Friday, former NBA head coach Doc Rivers spoke to the Crimson Tide.

Rivers spent 14 seasons as a player in the NBA, averaging 10.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists per outing. However, Rivers truly made his name from the sideline, not in-between the lines. Doc Rivers has coached for the Orlando Magic, the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Philadelphia 76ers. Rivers’ lone title came in 2008 with the Celtics.

Rivers is only the latest of Alabama’s long tradition of team speakers. Earlier this week, head coach Nick Saban brought in former NFL offensive lineman-turned-motivational speaker C.L. “Shep” Shepherd.
