Doug Rivers had once dreamt of coaching the world's best players.
No, he had indeed coached them.
Nowadays, people have forgotten just how outstanding Tracy McGrady was at the beginning of the century.
In Rivers's view, if McGrady could have stayed healthy, he definitely had the potential to compete with Frye. Unfortunately, McGrady began to suffer injuries just as he was emerging, and then he witnessed the rise of Fei.
Over the years, Rivers's teams were always defeated by Fei, the 2008 Finals being the most unforgettable.
At that time, the SuperSonics were not yet mature, while The Celtics' Big Three were at the tail end of their prime, harboring no personal agendas, only the championship.
However, they still lost.
