## Caption

In conversation with Andscape senior NBA writer Marc J. Spears, Doc Rivers reflects on being named to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2026 and why the honor carries so much emotion. He remembers calling his brother, thinking about how their mother would have viewed the ceremony and fulfilling his goal of entering the Hall while still coaching. Rivers also connects the moment to Pat Riley’s influence, the 2008 Boston Celtics championship and the people who helped shape his career. For Rivers, the speech will be less about himself than the community behind the journey.
