Coach Doc Rivers of the Los Angeles Clippers recently got in a bit of trouble with the NBA for comments made about Toronto Raptors’ star Kawhi Leonard. Rivers made a recent appearance on ESPN’s SportsCenter Special: NBA Finals Preview earlier this week and controversially compared Leonard to Michael Jordan.
“He is the most like (Michael) Jordan that we’ve seen,” Rivers said. “Not that he is Jordan or anything like that, but he’s the most like him. Big hands, post game, can finish, great leaper, great defender, in-between game, if you beat him to the spot he bumps you off and then you add his three-point shooting.”
