Boston Celtics Head Coach Doc Rivers has found himself featured within the pages of iFolloSports.com on numerous occasions, and without fail, the 2008 NBA World Champion sideline man presents himself with as much class as any high profile figure in the world of professional sports. Rivers not only offers a tremendous level of respect for his sport’s paying customer, he also provides these fans with an above and beyond amount of effort, when accommodating seemingly every autograph and photo request thrown his way. Even when time is limited, Rivers will always acknowledge an assembled group of admirers.  

In late December, per the above iFolloSports.com original video clip, Rivers was at it again, when showing of his charms to the fans stationed outside the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills (CA). During both regular season and postseason play, this legendary venue serves as the Celtics home, when visiting the Los Angeles Clippers and/or Lakers.

On this day, the 51-year-old former NBA point guard made a trip to the Starbucks on Beverly Drive (two blocks east of the hotel), before making his way up El Camino Drive (past William Morris Endeavor Entertainment) and into the awaiting throng of fans. At this point, Rivers performed his normal routine of class and charisma, when providing a thrill for a whole lot of rival NBA fans.

No matter the setting or situation, the Rivers' family certainly knows where their ample bread is buttered.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant possesses a whole host of very noteworthy attributes. The three-time defending NBA scoring champion can shoot, pass, handle the ball and get up and down the court with ease. Oh, and one more thing, the man from Washington D.C. is one heck of a nice guy. 

The latest example of this undisputed fact took place, when per his usual routine, the four-time All-Star patiently and politely provided autographs for a bevy of interested fans, outside the Casa Del Mar hotel in Santa Monica, California. This scene occurred in the hours prior to OKC’s recent 108-104 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, at Staples Center. 

Thursday, legendary Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax concluded his much talked about 10-day stint as a spring training special advisor for the only major league team he ever played for. Koufax’s presence at Camelback Ranch (Dodgers Cactus League facility in Glendale, AZ) had an electrifying impact on both the Dodgers organization, as well as its large legion of fans.

The demand for Koufax’s signature was so strong, an initial makeshift barrier was knocked over, courtesy of a group of stampeding autograph seekers. Sadly, the 77-year-old Koufax even had to endure a pen to the eye, as a result of the unbelievable desire to share a moment with one of baseball’s all-time greats.

The Heisman Trophy, the most prestigious award in college football, brings recognition to college football’s top regular season performers. It also opens the door for these athletes to prove their ability, grit and nominations during a deep and competitive bowl season.

As expected, this year’s bowl schedule yielded memorable performances from two of the most prolific athletes in college sports. However, only one came from this year's pool of candidates.
