Former San Antonio Spurs guard Doc Rivers has some words for anyone that makes a habit of assigning asterisks to NBA championships.
The San Antonio Spurs have had to hear “asterisk” talk ever since Phil Jackson first tried to belittle their first NBA championship in 1999. Since then, Shaquille O’Neal has jumped on that bandwagon, even recently doubling down further. Doc Rivers had some words for people that stoop to that level.
Rivers spent the last two years of his playing career with the Spurs, retiring after the 1996 season.
