Doc Rivers thought Kevin Durant would be 'King of New York' with Knicks

Transcript

00:00In the 2019 pre-agency, a lot of people thought Kevin Durant was going to be a member of the

00:05New York Knicks, and apparently, Doc Rivers was one of those people.

00:10In a podcast with Kevin Durant's manager, Rich Clyman, Doc Rivers had mentioned he thought

00:17Kevin Durant was going to be a member of the New York Knicks.

00:19His exact words were, early on, I was like, okay, Rich is from New York, he can be the

00:24king of New York City, I got a feeling KD is going to the Knicks.

00:28He said, listen, I'm in the league and I actually thought that, so you know everybody else thought

00:32that as well.

00:33Other things Doc talked about in the podcast is just kind of how the Clippers try to pitch

00:37Kevin Durant, what working with Steve Ballmer is like as a businessman, and the inevitable

00:42story of Donald Sterling's demise, which is almost impossible to not to get coverage on.

00:49Unfortunately for Doc Rivers, he has something much bigger on his hands right now as the

00:54Clippers are facing the Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs, where it's currently 1-1 and

00:59nobody saw that coming.

01:01The Mavericks are the highest rated offense in NBA history and the Clippers certainly

01:05have their hands full, as this isn't a regular 7th seed and this isn't a regular NBA season.
