6. Doc Rivers, Los Angeles Clippers

Say what you want about Doc Rivers, but he’s always in the mix – well, sort of. Sure, you can say that the Los Angeles Clippers have somewhat fallen short of expectations as of late, but he’s still one of the better balancer of egos in the NBA.

Laugh if you want, but it’s a real thing and not every coach in the NBA is built for that type of leadership. Rivers has won a championship with the Boston Celtics and has led the first successful era in Clippers basketball in quite some time.

Maybe this will finally be the year that the Clippers break through to the Conference Finals. Maybe not. Either way, no matter who you ask, Rivers is considered one of the top coaches in the NBA.
