Dr. Doc Rivers: Be Like The Squirrel Girl, Be Like The Squirrel
Doc Rivers hid $2600 in the Staples Center as a way to motivate his team to get back to LA for the Finals.
Following a win over the Lakers last February, Celtics coach Doc Rivers demanded $100 each from Boston's players, coaching staff, and even team managers. He stuffed the dough in an envelope, and told his team - his entire traveling organization, really - that they can have the money back the next time they play the Lakers inside the Staples Center.
Is Doc Rivers an expert motivator, or like so many people who survived the Great Depression, wary of banks?
Either way, this song is excellent:
