What’s Up, Doc? His Gatorade Shirt, That’s What

062008-doc-rivers-gatorade.jpgThe following is an example of one of the rare moments in which ruining a perfectly good shirt makes everyone happy. When the Celtics won the NBA playoffs, Paul Pierce engaged in the common sports ritual of dumping a neon-shaded beverage known as Gatorade upon coach Doc Rivers.

Instead of shellacking the shirt (which he’d do if he were sentimental) or tossing the shirt in the trash (which he’d do if he were practical), Rivers is going to auction off the shirt to benefit the Celtics Shamrock Foundation.

Alas, it isn’t an eBay auction, which would probably produce plenty of images, commentary and snark about stains and what kind of showers Lakers coach Phil Jackson might have engaged in after his team flopped. If you’d like to bid, head to the links below.
