Doc Rivers is a famous coach, a former NBA player, and a Black Man in America. In this Quick Hitter from Dave's Front office, Doc shares two personal stories about his house being burned down by skinheads in San Antonio and how he was frequently harassed by the Los Angeles Police for "Driving While Black" when he was a player for the LA Clippers in the early 1990s. Doc explains how the lessons he learned from his father (who was a Policeman) helped him through those difficult times.
