:wow: @ Austin Rivers Talking About Doc

[CSquare43]

...He doesn’t really share his life outside of basketball with me,” Austin said. “He and I don’t know each other like that. We know each other as strictly basketball. A lot of people on the outside don’t understand that because people think we have a relationship like every other father and son. We just don’t. That’s because he’s been gone my whole life, and that’s fine...

Doc Rivers stays strong in eye of Clippers' storm

Disrespectful.


Keep that behind closed doors. Be grateful your father kept u in the NBA when u were about to be washed out.

Making him seem like a bad father to the public

"It’s worked out for the both of us. But the one person he could always really be with was his mom. That’s the toughest thing I’ve ever seen him go through; more than the Sterling stuff and even when his dad passed away. His mom was everything to him. I’ve never seen him like that.”

Doc and Austin may never have the prototypical father-son relationship many on the outside would like to think they do, but the Rivers family is now closer than they have been in years. Not only is Austin on the Clippers but Doc’s daughter, Callie, lives in Los Angeles and is a staple at home games. His youngest son, Spencer, is a guard on the UC Irvine basketball team. After the game Rivers will routinely go back to his office and hug Callie, who waits for him to finish his postgame media conference.

“I think at this time it’s important for the family to have his back,” Austin said. “It’s a stressful time. Obviously we had high hopes and two of our best players go down just like that, but we’re still in this series.”

Rest of what Austin said.

What kind of shyt is this?? Can't believe he really said "He and I don't know each other like that."...so disrespectful.

Also crazy how he talks about doc being close to "his mom" like that ain't his grandma

He's not shytting on his pops; some of you guys are misreading what he said.

 

[Kd35brah]

This shouldn't have been made public.

But i guess Doc somehwat made up for it giving his son a chance, still dumb giving up that pick for him though.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Damn everytime Doc was around he'd be looking like who is this nicca?

I honestly didn't take it that way at all. As a father, I'd be very depressed if my sons felt this way about me.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

So Doc's way of making up for being an absent father is giving his bum son a spot on an NBA team he doesn't deserve?
