MILWAUKEE — Doc Rivers got emotional Wednesday when speaking about Bob Love, the former Chicago Bulls star forward and three-time All-Star who died Monday at the age of 81 after a long battle with cancer.
Love, who spent 11 years in the NBA, forged a special bond with Rivers when the Bucks coach was a teenager growing up in Chicago.
“He was a big guy in my life,” Rivers said before the Bucks game against the Bulls in Milwaukee on Wednesday night, his voice breaking.
