When Los Angeles Lakers fans hear the name Doug Christie, they do not think happy thoughts as he was a long-time rival of the team while playing for the Sacramento Kings in the early 2000s.
Christie is still involved with the Kings to this day and recently became their interim head coach after the organization decided to part ways with Mike Brown.
Christie, who began his playing career with the Lakers in 1992 after going to school at Pepperdine, reflected on what it meant to him to make his head coaching debut in L.A. at Crypto.com Arena.
