Topic of Doc and Austin reminds me of this scene from Fences:
Disrespect the kid you had by choice by not being involved in his life at all.Disrespect the man who gave you the athleticism to play in the NBA and the name/status that's keeping yo trash azz in the league brehs
Im sure he said it in a humorous fashion (even tho Ive never seen Austin Rivers have joy or happiness) but damn man
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
40 and yep I'm a dinosaur...y'all gon see how much the world ain't changed as much as you'd like to think it has it hasn't....that tough love shyt is very useful
Reporter asked how is Doc Rivers as a father, Austin said Doc hasn't called him since he left the Clippers and that he wouldn't even answer on the phone
Disrespect the kid you had by choice by not being involved in his life at all.
Defending deadbets. SMHDo you know their situation personally? Probably not. The man was in the league and jumped into coaching, both take up a whole lot of time. I'm just saying that could've been the reason he wasn't around much. Not just because he's just this bad guy who doesn't care about his kids.
Exactly.Thank GOD my dad provided for me AND was always around. Couldn’t have a better role model as a black male.
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.
Defending deadbets. SMH
WE know the situation because Austin is telling us.
Doc is a deadbeat father. He never spent time with his son and he doesn't care about his grandson except in the context of basketball.
He is a failure as a father and a real man.
