Doc Rivers shared a stage with Jerry West to his left and Lawrence Frank to his right, the three forming a partnership they hope will someday deliver the Clippers an NBA championship.
They officially joined forces Monday when Rivers introduced West as a consultant to the Clippers and a voice to provide wisdom and knowledge to an organization seeking success in the playoffs.
Rivers, the team’s coach and president of basketball operations, and West, whose advisor role will be similar to the one he held with the NBA champion Golden State Warriors the last six seasons, are the prominent figures in this relationship.
