CHRISTMAS DAY GAME memories are a blur for Doc Rivers.
Since 1984, Rivers has played or coached on Christmas a total of 17 times. As he recounted two stories about his favorite Christmas moments, the Milwaukee Bucks head coach naturally turned to the Boston Celtics-Los Angeles Lakers rivalry -- but he wasn't completely sure whether one of the memories was actually on Christmas.
Rivers, the former Boston head coach, told one of his favorite tales: He famously collected $100 from every member of the Celtics' traveling party on a road trip and stashed the money in the ceiling of the visitors locker room at the Lakers' home arena.
