Doc Rivers on the 30th Anniversary of the LA Riots (ENCORE)

We've collected our favorite episodes of 2022 into one playlist, to help ensure you didn't miss any of our best stories from this past year.

And on today's show, we're republishing one of those episodes, which originally ran on April 29, 2022:

A little over 30 years ago, April 29, 1992, the city of Los Angeles went to war with itself. Riots erupted on the streets following the acquittal of four LAPD officers in the beating of motorist Rodney King. It was a verdict that provoked outrage because the incident was captured on video, triggering a national debate over police brutality. Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers was a guard for the Los Angeles Clippers in 1992. In an encore of one of our favorite shows from 2022, Doc shares how the sports world at large reacted to the verdict and the riots that followed, and how the social responsibilities of an athlete have changed in the 30 years since.
