The Philadelphia 76ers were extremely blessed that when they decided to move on from the Brett Brown era of basketball, Doc Rivers also became available as a potential suiter for their head coach position.

Rivers is a former champion winning as the Boston Celtics head coach in 2008 and was one of the most successful coaches in Los Angeles Clipper history.
