That day is a day to pay homage, but not just that day, it’s everyday we should be able to live – we live in his light everyday because he worked tirelessly for us to have equal rights."

"Danny Ainge, singled out by Rivers for his support Wednesday after the coach passed K.C. Jones on the victory list with a win over Sacramento, said his offer for Rivers to return, and continue their working relationship of the last six-plus seasons, remains on the table. "'We’ve talked on a few occasions,' the Celtics president of basketball operations said. 'The bottom line is that he’s not ready to think about his future. But there is a standing offer. I recently talked to his agent about it, and for now we just let it go at that.'"
