Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers was recently called a “low-key coon” by one of his former players, Glen “Big Baby” Davis, during a recent appearance on the You’re Welcome Network podcast.

Davis, 39, was famous for his time with the Boston Celtics, as he won his only NBA title with Doc Rivers as his head coach. The LSU product reunited with Rivers for two more seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers. However, their relationship soured since then.
“I’m not perfect, but Doc knows me. He knows my heart, he’s seen me play trillions of times and knows that I’ll give anything to be able to play for my teammates and to be on the floor. But that year in Houston, he takes me out the game and you know it’s heated. I say Doc what you brought me here man, I’m trying to ball. Like I’m trying to play. He looks at me and says go to the back,” Davis detailed.

“So I know it wasn’t the same Doc. I knew I have come to a situation where Doc has a different role and has more pressure on him and now he is trying to save his own a**,” he added about the Milwaukee Bucks coach.
Doc Rivers is thriving with the Milwaukee Bucks, while Glen Davis is serving his prison sentence
Fast forward to today, and Doc Rivers is with his fifth NBA team as head coach. Rivers has recently guided the Milwaukee Bucks to winning its first-ever NBA Cup, and the team currently has a 26-19 record, good for fourth in the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, Glen Davis was sentenced by a federal judge Thursday to 40 months in prison for his scheme to defraud the NBA’s health care benefits plan.
