M.K.K. four-year plan at Notre Dame," said Rivers. Unbelievably, he entered as a sub- stitute on Nov. 16 in Notre Dame's opener versus Western Kentucky, an 80-63 loss that began a 0-2 start. Then, from Feb. 1-25, Rivers led up- sets of No. 1 North Carolina (60-58), No. 15 Duke (70-66) and No. 4 DePaul (73-62) en route to an 11-game win- ning streak and advancement to the Sweet 16 — Notre Dame's last such appearance until 16 years later. Rivers' senior year included a win over that year's national champ, Kan- sas, and he finished his Irish career 88-32 (.733). He is the program's sixth- leading all-time scorer with 2,058 points (17.4 per game), and he also handed out 586 assists (5.0 per game). GETTING THEIR MONEY'S WORTH Rivers said his fondest memories of Notre Dame are about the students, faculty and then school president Rev. Theodore Hesburgh. "Coming from Jersey City to a place like this, it's quite shocking," he said. His fondness for Phelps also re- mains. "He's played a tremendous role in the man that I am today," Rivers said of Phelps, who refers to him as the greatest player he coached in his 20 years at Notre Dame (1971-91). "He embodies this place. He keeps the tra- dition and family alive, and I love him for that." Rivers wants his own legacy to re- flect commitment. "I did the things I was able to do because I was dedicated, I was de- voted, I was committed to persever- ing through anything," said Rivers, a father of three [including son Sebas- tian at nearby Holy Cross College]. "The success came because of the way I practiced. The games were the easi- est part. "I was always conscious of people paying money to see me play. That resonated with me, especially coming from the background I came from." A first-round pick (25th overall) of the Los Angeles Lakers in 1988, Rivers played three years in the NBA before embarking on a sensational career in Europe that included stops in France, Greece, Italy and Turkey through 2001. In 1997, he was named Euroleague Fi- nal Four MVP after being instrumental in Olympiacos triumph. Those who paid to see Rivers did not get short-changed, then or now. ✦ Call 877-630-8768 to advertise in BGI!
