11:18 AM ET 10.09 | While there may not be a more popular coach around the league with opposing players, Doc Rivers has made sure to avoid the dubious tag of "player's coach," the same one that betrayed Terry Francona in his final days. "I have never understood exactly what a 'player's coach' is," Rivers said. "I think everybody is a 'player's coach' if you are doing well and the players are happy.

Doc just has a great personality. He relates to his players well and he's a very communicator.

His only downside is...Boston! .$^&% the Celtics! .GO LAKERS!!!

I won't be caught dead rooting for the celtics, ever. But doc is truly a class act and one of the best coaches in the game. I wish him best of luck, and hope his son is the real deal this year at duke.
