Don't expect Doc Rivers to be sentimental about Kobe Bryant's Lakers exit

Doc Rivers isn't contemplating rocking chairs, gold watches or any other farewell gift for the last time the Clippers play host to Kobe Bryant.

Just the opposite, actually.

"I know I'd like to take something from him," Rivers said Monday. "The 2010 ring, I know I'd like to have that back."

That would be the 2010 NBA championship ring Bryant won with the Lakers over Rivers' Boston Celtics in a taut seven-game series played at Staples Center, the same arena Rivers and Bryant have called home since Rivers joined the Clippers in the summer of 2013.
