OT- classy sports moment

[superjohn]

Awesome move by Doc, I'm really going to miss Dirk...
Total class move by Doc Rivers last night.

Cool move by Doc. Coach Carlisle appreciated it too.

 

[Hugo]

Not at all surprised that Doc did that. Great coach and a great person who has always acknowledged greatness in players regardless of what team they play for. Class move by Doc.

I heard about it on Le Batard and they said it was awkward to have Doc begging them to give Dirk the ovation. Not really the case after seeing the clip.

LeBatard is annoying.

 

[Kenny11]

LeBatard is annoying.

He is but the other guys on his show make it entertaining..sometimes.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

LeBatard is annoying.

...and here quite wrong.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

LeBatard is annoying.

LeBatard is one of the worst sports media personalities only exceeded by...

He is but the other guys on his show make it entertaining..sometimes.

...The Dad who is HORRIBLE.

 

[AdamaNation]

LeBatard is annoying.

But often funny. But annoying.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Put it on the poll Guillermo, am I annoying?

 

[UCDaveD]

Is LeBatard Cuban? He never mentions it.

Dirk has been coy about retiring. Is that because he is and he doesn't want the attention, or because he may genuinely come back for another year?

I imagine he might have fun playing with Doncic and a healthy Porzingas.

I mean, he's not good anymore, but now that he's healthy-ish he's a serviceable-ish backup 5. Why not come back?

I mean, I appreciate what Doc did...if he knows it's the former. If it's the latter, or if Dirk is genuinely unsure, I do feel like we should let the man make a decision on his own.

Doc is a good guy. I remember watching him in person play for the Knicks in the Garden. He fell that night and banged his face into the hardwood shattering his front teeth. It’s an image that I can’t erase. Glad he had such a successful coaching career.

He hasn't announced anything or made a decision but I think he said something to the effect the fans are making the decision for him

This is it, Dirk isn't one to do the Jeter/Papi retirement tour.

I figure this is the case. I mean, he's German. But I do want him to have the opportunity to play with Doncic and Porzingas for a season if he wants to. He's earned it.

He's my favorite athlete ever, I would love to see it too but the legs are giving up on him. He's a really special player and person, going to be sad when he takes his final jumper.
