I think it's unfair to call him a daddy's boy. Yeah, I know he's Doc's son, but he did have some game. He just didn't turn out to be as great as some thought he'd be
He would’ve been out of the league if not for doc long before he was. Yes he turned into a decent bench guy, but he was bad for so long any other team would have already given up on him by the time he became one.
Born to a NBA star, #1 ranked, Duke scholly, Dad trades for him and extends his contract, and plays 10 years to qualify for NBA pension. Life on EASY MODE
10 years lol lol his dad is in the league. That’s what he did, play 10 Years so people like you can say use the emotional response he played 10 years and what did he do in those 10?
@treatman3634 He played 10 years because his dad is in the league? Why didnt Jordan or Shaqs kid play 1 year then? 🤔. The only emotional person here is you duke. Austin achieved more in 10 years than your hatin ass has in your whole life 🤭
@@InfiniteCoreXDso how did he get a long career if he was bad and not because of nepotism. You literally just said he was bad, and then agreed with the previous comment that he had a long career, but not because of nepotism. So how did he get a long nba career?

-- On a different timeline, he stays in college 2-3 years, gets drafted later in the 2nd round. But STILL Makes similar money over a similar timeframe. Who knows. He was athletic and quick but he never developed the shooting ability. Plus he was coddled growing up so he never he had the mindset to be a Duncan so he just still followed the Harden way.
Former top ranked prospects in high that got exposed in college and flamed out in the NBA has many entries in this channel, as too the fact its the OG nepobaby and everything assuming a disaster for Doc Rivers at the bucks.
For being a top pick, he didn’t have an alright career. An alright career for a high draft pick is being a solid role player. Kevin Knox isn’t having an alright career.
Ive never seen someone mention what a player averaged, but only mention their shooting percentage, lol. 17ppg aint trash in college, thats a high ppg average. This channels click bait trash from someone who coukdnt ball worth shit
Yeah that surprised me what the video was saying. I remember watching literally almost every one of his games back when he was at Duke. He definitely wasn’t terrible by any means. Was he quite up to the hype? Not quite. But a disaster? Not even close. I still remember his sick game winner he had. He had many good games in college. I’ve never seen a freshman average that many ppg and be called a terrible season, especially at Duke. 15.5 ppg on 50.5 efg%….yeah….
I really don't like how you exaggerate bad performances by players. 7 ppg as a sophomore is not that bad or even close to abysmal that he should be cut from his team. Even without doc, he could've gotten another contract and improve from there on.
Definitely wasn’t the best college career for a freshman but he had game where is good enough to be a solid player which came with the clippers and later in his career
Disrespectful title. You're making it out like he's bromnys son who isn't NBA material. Austin is nba level just not a star or starter but a decent bench player at times.
He got a little too much hate. He wasn't the best player of his class by far, but once he got his role established he was productive. Plenty of guys completely bust out and can't even get to a 2nd contract. Once he left college, I think the expectations were a bit more grounded. Nobody expected him to be amazing the second he got to New Orleans.
He def had extra chances in the league cause of Doc, but lets not act like bro wasn't one of the coldest high school players of his time..the game didn't quite translate to the pro's, but bro was HIM coming up
I guess it's not really his fault, but once I heard the rumor that doc denied a trade package for him that involved I believe carmelo anthony which was a big reason cp3 left I was done with both of them lol
What a disappointment he was. The HS highlights really made us all believe he could at least be a dynamic offensive playmaker, like Shaun Livingston pre-injury. No heart, no hunger. People looking at Doc like he made him that way don't really know Doc. Dude was probably harder on him than anybody with that sandpaper voice lmao
So he basically was supposed to be The next Dwyane Wade, but he was just a spoiled brat for not accepting coach K system & it killed his confidence & stock?… gotcha lol
If Austin RIvers was an All-Star, it would be funny if his father's curse of failing to hold onto a 3-1 lead would transfer to him so any team other he's on other than the Clippers will lose a 7-game series despite holding a lead.
Nobody thought he was ging to be a superstar except his fans. I don't think NO drafted him because Doc Rivers is his old man. Nepotism is getting something because a relative is in a position to benefit you due to the relation. Doc traded for a backup PG that just so happened to be his son, and his numbers in LA kinda justified the move. I seriously doubt that he could spend 12 years in the NBA just because of his daddy. Teams seemed to have felt he was good enough to keep around. The NBA is full of father-son connections, be it player to player, exec to player or coach to player.
I’m sorry…youre saying Doc Rivers wanted a back up PG and he signed a back up PG who happened to be his son? Just happened to be his son? Just coincidence?? So when a cop wants to give someone a break and not give them a ticket, its just a coincidence when that someone is their son? I’m moving to North Korea if this is how my fellow country men think.
Austin Rivers isn't a "daddy's boy" or a "nepo baby". That's lowbrow nonsense that people spew in an attempt to insult him because they DON'T LIKE HIM. His trash talking and bravado has people who were role players about as good as he was talk down on him.
Andy Hoops uploading makes my lunch breaks so much better 🔥
Lunch? Damn,i finished with my dinner already. Greetings from Croatia🇭🇷✌️
its midnight here in the philippines!! hello brothers😊
Yes Andy Hoops is a blessing
Yep when I used to work retail I had to work Saturdays I would always listen to his videos on my lunch break
About to head into work
and he had one of the best takes i have heard from a player when he talked about "highlight culture"
Nepotism, that sort of, but not levels in Giannis and LeBron.
Bronny would never win ACC Rookie of the Year
_It would be a miracle if Bronny can reach this level._
It's a miracle for most humans to have a 9 year career regardless of situation.
I think it's unfair to call him a daddy's boy. Yeah, I know he's Doc's son, but he did have some game. He just didn't turn out to be as great as some thought he'd be

That contract the Clippers paid him when Doc was running the team definitely smelled of nepotism. Even the players knew it was BS.
Any decent prospect with given opportunities can have a few good games
Shut up lol these grown men and acting like a. Woman. It’s sports if you suck we going call it out, he sucked bro let it go
Calling him a daddy’s boy doesn’t imply he doesn’t have some game
You better make the KAT video.😊
That expected
Chris lore already did 😂
i used to use the Austin Rivers jump shot on 2k
Maybe he’ll get signed to his In-Laws team or his Dad’s team.
Who’s his in-laws teams
He was a solid role player when he was on the rockets. It was fun watching him go off here and there

I read “Diddy’s boy”💀
We haven't seen Austin play for a while because he's been spending much time on TV still waiting for whether another team gives him a chance.
Austin Rivers is actually a baller. I feel like him bring coached his pops tainted his name. He's a solid role player.
Lol he was not a solid role player
@asamonte 🤣😂. Naw you're just a hater. You don't get to play 10 years in the league being a scrub 🤷🏾
10 years lol lol his dad is in the league. That’s what he did, play 10

It's always funny seeing him pop up so many times when watching Steph Curry highlights.
Austin Rivers was a very good role player. He played solid defense and was serviceable offensively. I'd sat his Rockets days were his best.
When u dropping the KAT video🤣
First father and son on the same team since Lebron and Delonte

he sucks.. he actin like he is kobe 😂
As a kid, i never saw Austin rivers that good of a player during the mixtape era. I saw him as a decent player at best.
He got a little too much hate. He wasn't the best player of his class by far, but once he got his role established he was productive. Plenty of guys completely bust out and can't even get to a 2nd contract. Once he left college, I think the expectations were a bit more grounded.

He doesn’t have a left….
When he drives to the left …. He finish’s with the right….
His crossover barely covers space….and is barely a hesi
If I didn’t know how to share and my daddy paid for me to learn three years for $35 million I would know how to share by then
Austin has a loving Dad, Bronny has a loving Dad....I never had a Dad. God bless all you dedicated Fathers.

Nice quotes Andy ☺️
Nepotism happens EVERYWHERE. It's just that this one, everyone knows about it. Still glad that Rivers had a decent career.
He got more game than his pop lol, probably better off in Kansas.....
He def had extra chances in the league cause of Doc, but lets not act like bro wasn't one of the coldest high school players of his time..the game didn't quite translate to the pro's, but bro was HIM coming up

I liked Rivers on that Nuggets team that beat the Blazers without Murray. Wished they resigned him the following year and he would've gotten his ship.
Him and Anthony Davis were suppose to be Shaq and Penny for New Orleans. But both were to inconsistent together.
Austin had that CRAZY in&out hesi/step back and took that whole movement out of his game for some reason
He has a green light before college because everybody knew he’s doc son. That’s it.
If Austin RIvers was an All-Star, it would be funny if his father's curse of failing to hold onto a 3-1 lead would transfer to him so any team other he's on other than the Clippers will lose a 7-game series despite holding a lead.
Can you do a video on the guy who walked so that Luka and Wemby could run. I'm talking about Ricky Rubio
Never got close to being the best player in the league still got to be pro player and chase the dream I would take that any day
Crazy that he sucked at Duke but somehow won ACC Rookie of the Year.. 😂😂 This channel's trash
For the tenth pick he had a pretty decent career
he was def a daddy boy cuz he would’ve been out the league way earlier if his dad didn’t keep signing him like a good Dad would
Honestly Austin kinda proved he can shine on his own at Times without his Dad
Maybe the problem was he received advice from Doc Rivers.
His best moment was making his father be ejected from a game while laughing his ass off
Bronny is not even half as good as Austin. Should be an interesting year for the Lakers.
I’ll never forget when he was on my knicks, he went like 9-9 from deep. Amazing.
Coldest high school mixtape ever
Austin Rivers went to the wrong collage.
That jumper should of been enough to say he’s not that guy
he could have been better... he wasnt that bad
Lmaoo Austin and Doc Rivers are both trash
Austin "Andrew Tate" Rivers.
He was the definition of a HS mixtape guy.
Woah, more turnovers than assists- thats really bad for a guard.
Atleast it is still a success story.
Bronny is daddy’s boy 2.0
The first Bronny😅😂
