Austin Rivers puts Doc on that summerjam screen

[Darealtwo1]

Supposedly they weren't that tight at all while Austin was growing up.

How can they be....Austin is living in Orlando and Doc is living in Boston. You can only do so much

Yep a horrible dad who kept his sons career alive and gave him the only god deal he could’ve gotten.


Austin,the way his career started, might’ve been out the league if it was for Doc bringing him to LA and then giving him that contract.

Who the fukk cares, dude was already set with money. Man talking bout actually being a father and being there for your kid.

The fukk? I can tell you don’t have kids... That ain’t got shyt to do with nothing.. Doc was a shytty dad and if you read between the lines he was shytty emotionally.. kids need more than just a dad who’s providing financially.. Physically being there ain’t cutting it.. You got to put in the time and that’s pretty much what Austin is saying

In this world fukk all that bullshyt "hands on daddy" bullshyt.... He was out there in this world providing a cushy life for his family and this lil ungrateful mf throwing shots....u sound like a "new age man" wanna be all "cuddle cuddle" with your son and shyt ... nope ...no matter what this world ain't changed...and you know Doc from the old school

Topic of Doc and Austin reminds me of this scene from Fences:

 

[Pressure]

Only time I’ve seen him happy it made a lot of people sad

Tar holes

I’m glad your mentality is dying out

This nikka Doc basically SAVED Austin’s career and took on alot of scrunity and drama doing so and his half a Cac son repays him by throwing subs

Well that’s cool from a career perspective but I think I rather have a father who showed compassion in more ways than one (and before I could even play ball)

Austin gonna go most of his life after he retires without his dad displaying real fatherly emotions, that means something more

 

[hood b. goode]

didn't know austin had a kid

 

[Rigby.]

Yall nikkas acting like compassion and giving your son a leg up are mutually exclusive ideas. I pray for y’all kids if you have any

Naw bruh this comment was some bullshyt. I have 3 sons and as much as it my job to provide, I make sure I spend quality time with them also. Plenty of children got material things from their parents but would trade it in for more quality time. It's about having a balance and you sound like you don't have children with the statement you made.

REAL TALK.

I'm a father.

Toys, food, nice clothes don't stop my child from asking "where's daddy" when I'm out.

I understand both sides of it. My pops wasn't one of them warm and fuzzy niiggas. He was straight up and down, always told me what time it was. As I got older I understood that he was a product of how he came up. I never knew his pops, and don't think he knew that much about him either other than that he was a barber. So he came up rough, and he was always making sure I wasn't on no foolishness. Even though he would get home late from work cause of driving trucks, we would watch games together, he'd take me to ride my bike, or play catch with me, but it definitely wasn't no warm and fuzzy constant "I love you" type situations. Ironically it wasn't until I had my oldest son that I saw that side of him. It was funny for me to watch him interact with him as a baby and see him just melt. I would be like "is this the same niigga that I grew up around?" But I never had any doubt that he loved me. I just kinda figured he could only give me what he knew. But I knew that I could give my kids more. So I think I did more in terms of being approachable while at the same time letting them know I ain't their buddy.

The homie Doc might have been the same way; I knew he grew up rough in Chicago. Maybe with him coaching in Boston and providing for his family in Orlando, he felt like he was doing his job as a parent, not really realizing that his kids needed more. Might be that Austin don't even like ball like that, it might have just been his only way of connecting with his pops on some level.

Who knows, maybe they'll wind up on that "Iyanla Fix My Life" show my wife loves to watch. That might be the one time I sit down and watch it with her.

Hard to read between the lines because I never heard Callie say anything bad about Doc
Only Austin speaks like this. Its obvious who is not the favorite.

Bro I was thinking that Austin left college early just to defy his pops. Doc probably said u not ready but Austin wanted to prove him wrong.
