Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers has had his issues with the championship banners that hang in Staples Center courtesy of the Los Angeles Lakers.
One of Rivers’ first moves when he joined the Clippers was to have them covered during Clippers home games and his recent comments ruffled some feathers as well.
Rivers spoke about the team’s 16 championships, noting how they count the ones while in Minneapolis and whether that is fair. The Lakers, of course, moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles in 1960 and have won 11 championships since moving, but still acknowledge the five won in Minneapolis as part of their history.
