Daily News | Doc Rivers’ Philly sports fandom, Danuel House Jr.’s 3-point celebration and more Sixers notes
Rivers believes Joe and Bassey have NBA futures, but were both in positional logjams after the win-now Sixers bolstered their depth with more proven veterans through free agency and an offseason trade. The coach called Joe’s release a “tough one for me, just personally” because “I really like the kid.” Rivers added that Bassey “has a long way to go” and hoped to see more force from him as a shot-blocker and rebounder while his offense came along.
“The energy in the city’s amazing right now,” Rivers said. “You walk the streets or drive the streets and you see Phillies jerseys, Sixers jerseys, Eagles jerseys. It’s just fun. But now we’ve just got to keep doing well. That’s the key.” Rivers is a fan of all sports, and watches with an eye for detail such as the execution of a baseball double play or when a fielder backs up at home plate. But he perhaps takes the most from football, because of the discipline required to get 11 players to do the right thing on each snap. Rivers and Eagles coach Nick Siriani, a big basketball fan, have become friends.
Danuel House Jr., for instance, mimics loading and firing a bow and arrow after every three-point make. That’s a nod to his sons, who are fans of Spiderman and the Hulk.House said he has been doing the celebration since he was a Houston Rocket, where he shot 36.9% from deep on 4.7 attempts per game.Part of what has made reserve big man Paul Reed such a fan favorite is his simplistic Twitter handle and nickname, Bball Paul.
