Wasn't he in charge of the defense? I am not sure he did a great job.

Also, holy shit, I forgot that he was an All Star in 02. In the west. Not as an injury replacement, he made the team.

2002 Western Conference All Stars:
Kobe / Duncan / KG / Webber / Steve Francis were your starters

Dirk / Nash / Payton / Peja / Wally freakin Szczebiak / Elton Brand (injury replacement for Shaq) / (Karl Malone - injured and not replaced)

That’s a mindfuck to me

Do you know that Marc Zumoff, the TV play-by-play guy in Philly, refuses to call you Doc? He calls you Glenn Rivers every time.

I didn't know that! It's funny, though -- there's a fan there who brings a sign, every game since I've been a player, that says, "You're Not The Real Doctor." And I turn around like, "I know." I mean, how many more times do you have to tell me?

I asked Zumoff why, even though the answer was pretty obvious. He looked at me and said, "There's only one doctor in this town."

Funny story: The first game I started was against the Sixers. I walked out on the floor, and I didn't know what to say. I went over and said, "Umm, Dr. J, how are you?" And he said, "Doc, how are you?" And I said, "No, I'm Glenn." And he said, "No, you're Doc." And that made me feel like a million bucks.

Rivers connected quickly with GM Elton Brand and Sixers ownership in Wednesday's meetings and sides moved quickly toward negotiating a multi-year deal that culminated with a formal agreement minutes ago, sources said.
