Austin Rivers

From the article: "I was the No. 1 player in high school. I was a lottery player at Duke. I was player of the year in the ACC as a freshman. People just forget about these things, like I don't deserve to be in the league. People are like, 'He was a bust! He was a bust!' No, I wasn't a bust. I just didn't play as well as a lottery pick should. I don't need any excuses. It is what it is. Sometimes things take time."

Think anybody should tell Rivers that Tyler Zeller was ACC POY during his freshman year?

 

[toonces11]

Maybe he was confused by Tyler's "defense" on that last shot at the Dome?

My guess is he meant freshman of the year, which he won

 

[Quavarius]

Prolly meant ACC FOY.

Now, had Luke Kennard said the same, technically he wouldn't be lying, especially since Jackson said Kennard should've been ACC POY last year.

Maybe he’s still confused from Lehigh beating him in the tournament.

Yeah... i have no idea why any UNC fan would start a thread about Austin Rivers considering he ripped their hearts out.

That's a pretty terrible comeback.

You realize you posted a thread bitching about a quote from a guy who played at Duke some years ago, an NBA guy, a quote that nobody could possibly give a crap about, and then topped it off by referencing the exact player said player hit the biggest shot of his career over, right?

That shot was crazy. Still remember it.

And you responded by saying what he “meant” to say.
Fact is, he’s a douchbag & has always been one. He opened his mouth & was 100% wrong. You don’t like my thread, don’t post in it.

"Blah blah blah, how dare you actually point out what he probably meant, blah blah blah, he's a douchebag, blah blah blah, this is my thread... MINE MINE MINE!"

Next you’ll tell me the earth is flat.

Is that Grayson as a kid?

See, I don't like this post, because it tempts me to mock Kyrie.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

I like it when people get owned and made to look like a fool in their own thread.

No, silly, that’s an opinion.

A fact would be that his team lost to Lehigh, or that he hit a shot against UNC that made many of their fans lose their minds at the time.

I ‘think’ Adam Lucas is a douchebag. That’s my opinion.

Congratulations on your opinion. I’m not going to cry about it, silly.

 

[coryfly]

Lucas is awesome. I don't even think Duke fans like Rivers. He hit a big time shot in that game though.

 

[829305]

Huge d-bag but...

Yeah that one stung.

[WojoRising]

Yikes. It’s been 6 years.

Who were the recruits that made that video trying the Rivers shot over and over again. I believe one was Pinson, who was all about Duke until they told him to kick rocks so they could get Winslow instead. I believe there was 2 more recruits but can not remember who they were.

I’m sure he had a Duke offer but he was a IU lean for a while before choosing UNC.

Tyus Jones and Okafor were there with Theo. Theo clearly the only intelligent one out of the three. Kevin Knox did it as well with his HS team when K was trying to use his facilities to sway him (j/k, think they were there for some tourney or something).

Well he is the only one of the three that isn't a millionaire.

Anthony Davis says that him being #1 in high school is horse sh*t.... daddy might buy you a ranking but the whole world knows who was the best that year.

 

[Dukiepride77]

This is true for this Duke fan.

 

[npreston]

Troll thread is obviously a troll thread.

 

[champs99and04]

[pisgah101]

I don't like rivers but it's pretty clear what he was saying here unless you're a Carolina fan I guess?

I don't get it.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

1. OP is an idiot
2. I like Austin Rivers but would like to forget everything about that season because of the way it ended. Same goes for 2013-14 season also.
3. I think it’s funny that this UCONN fan has been popping up on a Duke hater thread lately!

 

[TheDude1]

BTW, everyone on the forum is basically in agreement than UNCfaninKY is the saltiest, most off base poster on this forum, right?
