Doc Rivers has reunited with a member from his 2019-20 Los Angeles Clippers roster. The duo is, however, this time on a different mission, a mission for the greater good. Former Memphis Grizzlies star Tony Allen and violence prevention activist Cobe Williams jointly posted a photo on their Instagram accounts. Apart from Allen and Williams, the photo featured the Bucks’ Head Coach and ex-Chicago Bulls star Joakim Noah. 

“One goal, One mission, @onecitybball — shout out to @stickity13 Doc and @cobe.williams for chopping it up about a great cause,” read the caption of the post. The photo in the post showed Noah holding Cobe Williams’ book ‘Interrupting Violence: One Man’s Journey to Heal the Streets and Redeem Himself’. “Stop the Violence is more than a quote, it’s action… and we ACTIVE,” further read Tony Allen’s caption.

Notably, Doc Rivers and Joakim Noah were part of the Clippers at the same time during Noah’s last NBA season in 2020. It is also worth mentioning that Tony Allen and Rivers have also shared time for 6 NBA seasons with the Boston Celtics. The reunion comes amid the ongoing cause in an attempt to put an end to the cases of violence. In fact, Joakim has shown an active involvement for the cause with his ‘Noah’s Arc Foundation’.

NBA stars who have contributed towards a better cause

One of the major contributors towards the cause of violence reduction is Derrick Rose. Rose has donated millions of dollars to fight gun violence through his foundation. The D. Rose Foundation supports youth mentorship programs and educational initiatives in Chicago.
