Austin Rivers Has A NBA Ready Game; Top Ranked Player In The Nation

[720allout]

to many haters on his ass.the kid is good

[RobRob956]

Jahii Carson > Austin Rivers

[ballizlife111]

I think hes a great player but he needs to use his left hand more..... be agressive but at the same time let the game come to him... Like he did in the game against florida state. he also needs to learn to be more agresssive goin to the rim he needs to dunk the ball ....he still my favorite player and i think he will be in the nba no doubt... top ten pick

[marksanchez906]

does he ever go left?

[spitfire321]

2:04 Remember those two faces, Lebryan Nash and Austin Rivers lol

[XxClUtCh24xX]

17 people r jealous lol

[Austeenob]

he should play for the celtics :)

[HKISfreak1]

hes not ready for the NBA, his shot selection is suspect and he turns the ball over way too much, still very raw

[iljrr808]

with a dad like doc rivers, you think his elbow would be in on his shot lmao

[AmodProductions]

@iljrr808 hush nigga hush

[Whooperking1]

he can play offense, but what about his defense???

[datresspasser]

NBA 2k12 Ronnie Brewer jump shot

[daking682]

he never uses his left hand...

[Giean360]

this kid has got real killer crossovers, word up

[104jacinto]

Austin Rose

[hockeyman15456]

Who cares if he shoots with two hands. if he makes the shot it dont matter.

[dee5u]

is it just me or does he shoot with two hands?

[heavyweightchampion6]

if anything he needs to learn how to jump off 1 foot for a dunk

[JayGatsbyOdysseus]

I've watched him play a couple games for Duke. Surely, he was not the number 1 ranked high school player last year. If he makes it to the pros, I doubt he will stay that long. He is not going to be as good as his dad, Doc.

[mdb2197]

@JayGatsbyOdysseus Your Stupid

[PieandBiscuits]

@mdb2197 What? He's right, he won't be as good as Doc was..

[Hoovizzle43]

NBA ready, game? LOL. I can't comment on that. Very good player, but . . .

[Imakefunnycoments01]

omg these defenders seem like they just let him score

[TheGamer32121]

needs to get stronger

[True23Flight]

@rameer

any suggestions for 2k12 jumper

[svs3211]

all right hand layups smh



[wagnerdmog]

that man owns the game

but he looks too skinny for me though

[ar25allday]

HOW COMEE EVERY1 WHO GUARDS HIM GETS EMBARRASSED AND HE MAKES THEM LOOK LIKE THEYVE NEVER PLAYED BBALL IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE LOL

[yomama60]

he seems like a ball hog :P

[Jtlove1995]

Not using your left doesn't mean he doesn't have one. He naturally jumps off two feet, its obviously more comfortable than going off one for him. So by jumping off 2 feet its much more natural to use your dominate hand.

[NYRANGERSBABY]

"Shaq helps him miss free throws"

[hl970142371]

To all the people who left negative comments, ask yourself one question. Can you stop A.Rivers on the court? Probably not. :)

[NewWfLoW]

too bad he has no left hand

[jjj10man]

@NewWfLoW are you blind no left hand what does he have 2 right hands?

[NewWfLoW]

@jjj10man lls, tell me how many times he goes to the left side of the basket and uses his right hand to lay it in...thats what i ment by no left hand

[jjj10man]

@NewWfLoW i know he is really overrated he just has a nba jumpshot the rest of his game needs inprovement

[yomike1]

@jjj10man Have you seen him at duke? He cannot be stopped going to the rim.

[daryltanael]

poor mans stephen curry.

[jiro32]

he's nice, but i don't see him having an NBA ready game right now... his layups in HS will get smashed in the NBA. he reminds me of toby bailey, who was a nice college player but didn't do anything in the NBA (did he even make it?).

[mrtony80]

I glad there isn't any stupid ass money driven lockouts in college ball. I'm really looking forward to seeing him at Duke.

[schlebb1]

i wonder if he ever scrimmages with any of the celtics sometimes. that would be sick

[yatyesam]

games looking good but didnt see a single left handed shot the whole vid. Wonder how that'll impact him in the nba

[SweetLouDunnbar10]

Austin you're a beast u should've gone to UNC but that's was ur choice can't wait to come watch duke Carolina game make it a good one

[Cytron36]

This kid should practice with the celtics to get a feel for playing against nba players.

[Jordan2345Airwalk]

All of his moves, I admit it, they're wonderful n amazing. But his shooting style... who wants to give some opinions?

[lasath90]

@Jordan2345Airwalk who cares about shooting style if he make the shot consistently with the D right in his face, he'll probably work on it more but really its not even that big an issue

[DaMaine205]

like the move at 1:21 for some reason

[kimilo444]

damn hes good but hes got an ugly side spin on his shot!

[asiankid40]

what's the name of the song in this video........



[adnannasser96]

What will happen if he gets drafted by the Celtics? Timeout- Doc."Son, wtf you doing, you should not shoot that!" Austin- "Sorry dad."

[keelyanddakota]

he defintaly going to the nba

[iMaDeadMuffin]

watching him is like watching nba but with bad defenders

[filmsMR]

Watch Tony Parker play, he hardly ever used his left hand. ball norm always in his right. just like rivers

[MrSoloMars]

Damn , I Didn't Know Drake Can Ball Too !

[kidjo131]

@MrSoloMars I didnt know anyone who looks light skinned has to look like drake, silly me, and my eyes to see he looks nothing like Drake

[baldheadedfreak]

dude doesn't have a left hand

[AciddReign]

@baldheadedfreak i agree if he's ever gonna get to the league he gotta learn to use it

[Bobqq89]

@jellehaeck when you can finish with your right in as many ways as he can you dont need a left nobody can block him.

[rameer]

Nba 2k11 Luol Deng jump shot :P

[domiballa]

didnt know that drake played basketball

[misael1816]

i like hes jumper

[jellehaeck]

dont wanna do bully but has anyone seen him finish with his left hand? even at 1:48 he finish with his right... good player anyway..

[bigfoot879]

@jellehaeck if he would of used his left hand, he would have got blocked. sometimes i hav to switch hands to avoid getting blocked and thts what he did.

[thabestballer24]

if he was full black he'd have a left hand

[eyeofthetiger444]

@thabestballer24 that makes no sense

[Vg24lucio]

Left hand and a consistant jumper and its a wrap.

[XratedTrev]

He's good enough to have you people talking about his game. He has 2 years to developed to an even better player in college. Maybe his jumper isn't consistent, and he doesn't have a left...he's raw talent...he will be ready for the NBA in a few years. Dont hate people. He's still a kid.

[Playstation360Xbox3]

@donnieswint1 MIchael Jordan never used his left hand either tho hahah

[VinmanMJ23]

I don't think he is as good as John Wall. I look forward to seeing him at Duke next year.

[deewashington22]

@VinmanMJ23

when had john wall hit 5 consecutive 3 pointers in a game?

[TheHardWood19]

@deewashington22 hitting 5 consecutive 3 pointers in a game doesnt mean hes better than wall

[AymanLT]

the first ASSASSIN since KOBE

[donnieswint]

can't use his left hand. If he ,makie it to the the pros he better get that left hand together or he will have a long season of getting his shot blocked.

[jfjkfj]

Does anyone realize how easy it is to get your left hand dribbling better , he'll get them in no time.

[AutoTune8]

For some reason, I'm not impressed with his game.

[bobmaxi100]

CANT FINISH LEFT!

[mikevargas2002]

Thumps up if you want this guy playing for your team! Austin RIvers is the the man! :)

[celticpride859]

he is good but not NBA ready. and they are not going to win it all either so don't get your hopes up duke fans. cause Kentucky is winning it all this year. rivers isn't even on the same lvl as Anthony Davis, who was a pg that gained 10 inches in 2 years who has more skill at the pf or center position now with that height, shooting ability, passing, and handles. he will be the #1 pick, and rookie of the year next year. now you have another reason to hate Kentucky

[alexandercdavis21]

i dont think anyone is hating on the kid, but he does have stuff he could ADD to his game. doesnt mean he has flaws. is slashing and scoring is gonna be is main weapon in the nba, yea he needs a left hand, and needs to learn to create better. im sure hes gonna add that by the time he's in the nba but lets not appoint this kid as going to be great. he hasnt PROVEN anything YET. no hate here :)

[spawn37]

who needs to go left when they can't stop him when he goes right

[Piffinqton]

DOC RIVERS WAS COACHING HIM WHILE HIS WIFE WAS PREGNANT WITH AUSTIN .....

[GEORGYHOKIE]

this dude is not gonna do shit in the nba, he is undersized and is to slow to be a point guard. i think he will be an average player, and wont make a single all star game

[cblackburn10]

@GEORGYHOKIE He's 6'4" and 190 pounds, how is that undersized?

[mikevargas2002]

If u ask me, i really like rivers game but it aint nba ready. needs both hands, and needs to stop holding on to the ball so long and get some dimes. if he dont he will see bench time or switch to sg. if he stepped on the court right now guys like cp3 and drose would eat him alive. but give him a couple years at duke under coach k and his talents will mold into a pg and a great player at any level. i aint htin on the kid, the skys the limit when it comes to talent, want him to reach the top.

[AnimeCraze0]

I know how people out their can take things the wrong way but he needs a left and pass the dame ball besides that impressive game

PS like Quincy Miller better

[MrBrainiac25]

Doc Rivers: "Ray help Austin with his shooting,KG help Austin with his post moves,Rondo help Austin with his passing and dribbling."

[AdR1aN43]

@MrBrainiac25 ya sum guy said in another vid "pierce help with shooting" lol

[lk90jn65]

@MrBrainiac25 THEY NEED TO HELP HIM WIT HIS LEFT HAND! LOL

[MrBrainiac25]

@lk90jn65 HaHa yeah I hardly see him use it for layups

[WsUpiTzcHrIs]

@MrBrainiac25 "Pierce help him flop"

[UncleEmSaw8]

@WsUpiTzcHrIs you mean big baby

[KingGC1000]

funny how people think they have a right to say hes got no left, when you cant even gaurd him with his right

[kevinldgraves]

first off, whoever said Memphis beat/swept the lakers is sick and needs to slap themselves. second off he's 6'4 shooting guard now, he's going to end up being a 6'4 pg in the league, he is to small to be a 6'4 shooting guard, yes wade is 6'4 but do not compare the two or you need to slap yourself as well. Wade is way more explosive with a lot more bounce and is just better. Austin rivers will become a great pg in the league, trust...he'll get the left before he gets to the league...

[lobzy11]

@kevinldgraves he is a shooting guard........not a point guard, there are plenty of shotting guards thst are under the typical 6'6 that can ball. d wade, monta ellis, oj mayo, all 3 are great scorers

[kevinldgraves]

@lobzy11 I know he's a shooting guard, i clearly stated that in the second line in paragraph. and oj mayo doesn't start and plays alot bigger, monta ellis is way more explosive but people always talk about his size, and that's why he doesn't d up any top shooting guards. regardless if they play shooting guards only one of the ones you mention is really good, and that's d wade, and don't ever compare austin rivers to d wade. your statement is garbage. he's going to end up being a point guard.

[23baseballer]

@newgarda are you kidding me? a 6"4 shooting guard is short? and this is his junior year. he has gotten stronger. a 6'4 shooting guard is a good sized shooting guard. and he is very quick and very fast. your retarded. go look at his espn.com scouting profile. he already has an nba ready game. you dont know basketball at all. dwayne wade is 6'4. your a dumbass

[newgarda]

he's not allstar caliber, maybe a starter on a bad team. he is not exceptionally fast or big. too much hype on this kid.

[TheBlackTornado2091]

basketballs look like little toys in their hands ._. jealous

[BMB346]

only averrages 29 ppg in high school

[monkeydam]

Why bother using the left hand if he gets the job dunn fantasticly with the right hand.

[cchamburs11]

hes in highschool stop haitin nigga im sure all off season and with the coach hes goin to whitch is one of the best coaches of all time will mold him in to the next greatest thing in college basketball and carry over to nba and rudy gay is a grate player just on a shity team with a shity staff

[brians121510]

@cchamburs11 rudy gay is an awesome player, but he does not have shitty team come on now, O.J Mayo, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, and Zach Randolph! and look what the Grizzlies did in the playoffs without Rudy, they swept the Lakers in the playoffs! Come on now, shitty team though??

[kdtassy183]

@cchamburs11 plus his dad is a coach too

[TheFuture0ne]

He's good but forget about been the best player in the world,he's not fast enough he will be like Rudy Gay which is pretty good.

[MrPatitup]

Cant wait to see him in a Duke uniform and dominate!!

[dat5r]

i dont think he really needs a left given that he can pull up from absolutely anywhere, but once he gets one he will be unstoppable

[bubbanater07]

hes so little wait till he takes on a guard who is bigger than him. he won't be that great in college anyway that pressure gonna get to him but we will see how he does.

[FrankTownSwagga9]

he nice we will love dis kid watch out Carolina we gone be ready 4 yall

[FrankTownSwagga9]

he did not carry at 1:26

[notavailableisnotava]

He looks sloppy. But it dont matter hes good.

[TinFoilHelmetMedia]

i love how he makes this shit look easy...

[1brightshadow1]

his forms wack needs to pull in his elbow more but his handles are off the charts RUDE BOIII

[TubeGuest5178]

he's a good scorer but boring to watch.....moving along....

[buttcrease45]

hopstep cheese.

[23Kingsolomon]

his jab step is so f-ing NASTY that i needa take a shower after i see it

[jesuitmarauder1996]

he doesn't need to work on anything. he's going to Duke for basketball and you're not. god damn haters smh

[nikolainikolainikola]

Whats The song

[joeboy22011]

thumbs up if u think they should put Austin Rivers runner on NBA 2K12

[joeboy22011]

thumbs up if u think they should have Austin Rivers Runner on 2K12

[123456calculatrice]

What are you talking about guys he have a left look at ...hmm? another video maybe..

[Milk3111]

Thumbs up if u think that in NBA 2K12 My Player Mode, they should put , Austin Rivers' thru the leg step back as a signature gather ;)

[htownnigggga]

@Milk3111 thumbs up if there is an nba 2k12

[Milk3111]

@htownnigggga aha true, fricken lockout -______-

[MorrowMontages]

@Milk3111 Maybe because he didnt originate it ....

[SuperSORAW]

@Milk3111 hes in his first year of college this year stupid shit

[Milk3111]

@SuperSORAW so dickhead, im just saying its a nasty move and they should put it in the game, i know , hes going to Duke, but the move is soo good :D

[nmeade101]

@Milk3111 they really should

[drs0106]

get that elbow in a little please

[magyk233]

@drs0106 thats his form of shooting. it seems to work so he should keep shooting like that, everybodys got their form

[KillaClem]

fyi the title should be "austin rivers has AN nba ready game"

[SupremeTeamFP]

@KillaClem Actually, technically "A" is right. AN comes befores a vowel. "A" comes before a consonent(spellcheck). And the letter N in NBA, is a consoent my friend. Nice try tho..

[KiddoFresh24]

it looks like he travels but its where the clips begin

but cezar guerrero is better

[jykemartin]

@KiddoFresh24 you sir must be dreaming

[SuperLockerz123]

13 people(Laker Fans) lost to the celctics in the 2008 nba finals

[falexarzan]

@SuperLockerz123 13 people (celtics fans) lost to the lakers in the 2009 finals, and didnt even fuckin make it to the finals the next 2 years

[syafiqyazid]

@falexarzan the next 2 years? lmao you're stupid smh

[MrProctology]

Does anyone see a travel at 1:13? I swear that looks like a travel.

[treyman120605]

13 ppl got posterized by austin

[iTzvenge]

lmao nice help defense at 0:32

[gypsyvinny562]

i find it stupid when they show clips of highschool players dunking in practice and not in a game

[cambomeat]

i can finish with my middle hand

[FlyKid7]

jumps off the wrong foot alot

[rhettrorocket43]

@FlyKid7 Yeah, cause he never uses that left hand. lol that'll fuck him over later in life

[EltonMarkHuerta]

When Kobe is the best player in the world everybody says "he raped a girl".

When LeBron is the best player in the world everybody says"he travelled".

When Austin WILL be the best player in the world everybody would say "he has no left"

[LeatherBootz]

@EltonMarkHuerta people always complainin

[XyloNYC]

@EltonMarkHuerta Haters...

[Carsonm89]

@EltonMarkHuerta Well, by the way he was playing, it didn't look like he needed his left..

[EltonMarkHuerta]

@Carsonm89 im just stating what the haters are gonna do

[MrChargerman21]

@EltonMarkHuerta i bet by the time he's in his prime he will have a left hand

[We5leySnipez]

@EltonMarkHuerta well all of his highlights are with his right..

[We5leySnipez]

and sometimes he takes too many dribbles 

[Dil1995]

@EltonMarkHuerta he doesn't matter first let the haters be haters and practice makes perfect ;)

[2Gud4UL]

@EltonMarkHuerta what about when Michael was the best player in the world?

[EltonMarkHuerta]

@2Gud4UL lol i didnt reach Jordan's era, i was a fan of NBA since 08

[jcoff93]

@EltonMarkHuerta austin rivers isnt even close to the best in the world he cant even shoot i saw him at the pro am four times and his shot is so inconsistent and all he can do is that step back and a crossover. no muscle, no shot, no left, not even close trust me

[EltonMarkHuerta]

@jcoff93 you saw him on A game, it doesnt mean he play like that everynight.

[sexymexydarius]

@jcoff93 yeah, and you try being the number ranked highschooler.

[hamujatouk]

austin rivers is good and i am a huge fan but if he wants to be a star in the nba he has to use his left hand a little more or else other coaches will find his weakness and put a good defender on him and force him to his left

[timmy7796]

this kids amazing. i hope the wizards draft him :3

[iliv4jesus5]

DukeBlueDevil30 at 1:48 John Wall is guarding him but unless u ur sucking the bottom of a rock Wall is in the NBA

[theshantanator]

@lions565

cuz hes playing against high school players, to really translate into collegiate or pro one must at least have a left to go to as a change up, i have a feeling this kids going to suck if he doesnt spend enough time improving in college

[MrDeleon17]

its funny how they say he has no left i ve seen him play live the kid is sick he has nba range sick handles and ive seen him finish left a bunch a times he really cant be stoped because even if you cut him off from the lane his step back is sick he can shoot from everywhere and was even sicker than he's shot is his floater unatoppable and he got hops what else do you want and he does it against other ranked player not only scrubs dude avg is around 30 points a game dude is the real deal

[deucebellofan15]

ONE and DONE

[aguer23]

Force*



[aguer23]

1:48 he blew past john wall ....and used his right John wall was 1st overall Draft pick in 2010 and people saying focer him left and he wont score SMH!!

[richkid2311]

@aguer23 It was one play....in a pick up game.....people are saying those things because being able to use your left will throw off your defenders when they realise your right hand dominant. He already throws off defenders. Adding another demeension too his game isn't something that people should try to deny.

[hart23bhs]

he likes that up and then under move on his layups

[funkaydonkey]

his mom is hot

[327372]

@funkaydonkey doc river's wife?

[funkaydonkey]

@327372 shes actually not, that was a joke

[vknole18]

if uve seen him play in real life believe me his left is the last thing u care about

[roflcopter96100]

if he could have gone straight to the nba he would have been picked #1 instead of irving

[804fishscale]

@roflcopter96100 yea, over Kyrie...not if Sully, Barnes, PJ, or TJ came out too tho

[homie9760]

reminds of a rookie kobe in the nba

[miniBROSent]

@homie9760 well rookie kobe only average 7 points as arookie so I dont think so.
