Austin Rivers 7-Dribble Shake In 1.8 Seconds (On Marquette's Darius Johnson-Odom, NC Pro-Am)

[Barteek24]

No point doing all that if you are going to miss though.

[qwerty6894]

It was good but he didn't sell it

[kisswriters]

@qwerty6894 I agree, I don't think he sold it either ... but that defender's center of gravity is terrible ... his defensive posture is just wrong

[emericaclay1]

@kisswriters you're a fucking idiot, darius is prided on his defensive ability

[kisswriters]

@emericaclay1 Aren't you the wordsmith? ... and again, that defender's natural balance and center of gravity "look" off to me ... as for Austin, I've seen very few players use that "pat handle" effectively, and not just for show: Isiah Thomas--the best I saw, Tim Hardaway, Mahmaud Abdul-Rauf (Chris Jackson), Mark Price and even at 6'7", Kobe used it well in his younger days ...

[emericaclay1]

@kisswriters i said nothing about austin rivers......

[kisswriters]

@emericaclay1 You really didn't have a well-thought point at all

[qwerty6894]

@emericaclay1 He might pride himself on his defensive abilities but it doesn't show here. if Austin River's would've gotten the ball back to his left hand quicker he would've gone right around him. That's where they both fell a little short. They both messed up a tiny bit and they both didn't benefit from it at all

[steevieg]

if you think that is amazing handling, you got another thing coming. even if he is 6'4", it's nothing special. it's not bad, not that great either though.

[vICharlieIv]

Lol people need to stop hating on this guy's video. It's not like he's trying to say Rivers is the best, or anything. He's just showcasing his great handles, which got him a good look at the hoop (can't make it every time).

[yehMasoom]

and he missed the layup.

[felixblome]

@yehMasoom he passed the ball

[rosema022]

So...did he make the layup? lol

[felixblome]

@rosema022 he passed the ball

[bizzle7542]

but yeah Austin Rivers is amazing. At this rate, I truly believe he could be the best at the next level.

[bizzle7542]

vakyl11 you're so dumb (1) be 6'4? are you kidding me? you're acting as though him being 6'4 was some kind of accomplishment or something. But if I were 6'4 i would be just as good

[GamexJoy]

No finish

[ruanjiayang]

he can't be better than John Wall

[David23948]

@ruanjiayang anyone is better than john wall

[thejbog111]

@theblazinasain44 they're not, those are actually jerseys

[BigKleib34]

Too bad that the move didn't actually get him anywhere. Looked good but not functional.

[SKillitFish]

and didnt even get by the guy..

[Fyoubloomberg]

unnecessary amount of dribbling....just freaken get a good cross, lean one way and fucken explode the other, no need for all that dribbling and then eventually someday attacking the rim....

[Todi123456]

why he cant use his left hand to do layups??

he would be a monster if he uses his left hand.

[mostsincere]

@Todi123456

I just do not get why he can not finish with his left. He should have been able to do that by jr high school in my opinion.

[MrChelove]

He missed the layup because he can't do a left hand layup at all. No, I'm not hating - I'm a fan.

[vakyl11]

LOL damn, I kinda feel bad now... how in the world did it get so many views? I didn't even mean to post this as a highlight, just an example of how natural his handle is.

Anyway, it may not look like much, but to the 12 year-olds.. let's talk when you can 1) be 6'4, 2) do this entire move 3) in under 2 seconds 4) on your toes with your head up, 5) while selling it well enough to shake back a defender like DJO. Good luck!

(Oh, and re: the jerseys, yea, the league is sponsored by Under Armour).

[4anthonygeo]

@vakyl11 man, i dont know what any hate is about, this vids awsome and gets me excited about the ball handler that is Austin Rivers

[ChewyHighHAD]

Lots of dribbling in place, almost no separation created, head down the entire time, horrible shot attempt. A young Kobe and Iverson mentality without the skill to make it work.

[AngelEyesC4]

@ChewyHighHAD head down? please look again, his head was up the whole time

[lilstroudboy1]

its either how there jersey is formed or its tht underarmour shit. im not sure they wuld want to be embarrased by wearin bras

[MB4199056578]

most people can do this

i can do this and im twelve

and white

[24kobeize]

son hes not that nice not hatin but hes not the best ive seen

[yuuuaaaa21]

d rose is a lot faster.

[brewcrew900]

and the search for hilerc begins

[Heartofthacity]

Did he make tha shot?? I'm lost

[Sheedman3]

Yawn I can do that in my sleep without a ball

[CAMBD34]

7 dribbles that could be pulled off by the majority of college guards and got him nowhere. impressive?

[4hardyboy]

so damn nasty

[theblazinasian44]

why are they wearing bras??

[305Southbeach]

@theblazinasian44 why are you stealing other peoples comments? again...

[papapapenis]

@theblazinasian44 what do you think a bra looks like...??

[TheA2theustin]

@theblazinasian44 Are you blind??

[TheRajonrondo12]

@theblazinasian44 dumbfuckk is not bras u fag

[JacksonPM23]

Is this the summer league game at NC Central? I was there!

[AyeRaab]

ok he can dribble & take to the rm, but did he score?

[swagprinceification]

leave da boy once he in da nba he gonna b ballin on yal haters like d.rose did good luck rivers sure your dad will b proud

[MegaOreoBoy]

Well sweet he can dribble fast, AND go nowhere!

[tyklug2013]

and not a single fuck was given that day

[TheFallen8v]

Im a Rivers fan but he didnt finish and he didnt shake him...Im not gettin mad at Rivers but wat is the point of this video?

[JusticeCN]

'got bumped' shit like this is what makes me hate playing ball sometimes

[NDJPro]

he tried to finish with his right cuz he has no left lol

[sugarrothie]

what kind of jerseys?

[thatpalekidd]

thelastpizzapie is obviously stupid. This is not fancy at all. He would shit on you with this. Watch Austins other vids then post a comment.

[Filipinotundah808]

derick rose uses a simple one dribble cross over and gets past almost anybody and finishes. the amount of times you put the ball on the floor doesn't really matter.

[katra777]

he ended not shaking the dude and taking a ridiculously hard shot that most likely missed.

[knockout82254]

the kid doesnt use his left hand. hes good but not experienced at all.

[slayerde440]

A pass would've worked too....oh wait nobody does that anymore

[tylerbshs28]

@slayerde440 how bout rajon rondo?

[slayerde440]

@tylerbshs28 Who? ;)

[33Zbird]

If he had a left hand he would of made the layup lol

[sciontcdude]

he didnt even go anywhere lol....just a show off movie .look up ryan boatright now that kid has moves to get by people

[S1ZZL3]

lol solid D, forced him to make a bad shot..

[kickin323]

jordan 11 cool grey

[MHSindians96]

Darius Johnson-Odom

[terbearAKAterryberry]

@thelastpizzapie

ur right,plus I tried doing this and I can do it just as good as he can

[Zeegoner]

@thelastpizzapie I fail to see the intelligence in your comment in any way shape or form because this WAS quite impressive UNTIL he went for the drive. This would've been REALLY effective if he attacked right after faking that last through-the-legs-crossover. Real good ball handling, bad ultimate judgment. He wasn't being fancy, if your eyes were open while watching the video, you would've seen him juke his defender out quite a bit, it was his ultimate judgment to attack late that costed him...

[lalm222]

In&out --> crossover --> between the legs. Do it again

In&out --> crossover --> between the legs --> react to the defense. Great set of moves if performed well.

[BeatTheHeatNigga]

WOAH! Did anyone see that..........Lebron traveled..

[randomaznpopper]

@BeatTheHeatNigga really.......anyway decent move but i'm guessing no finish.

[celticsfanization]

He needs to work on his left.

[giholste123]

that was good defense he didn't bite for the useless moves and then stayed with him to the rim. rivers could have easily finished but oh wait doesn't have a left hand. look, he contorted his body so he could go up with his right :/

[BigBearfromthe206]

That was pretty good defense.

[irsheft]

Austin Rivers is good, but this video does nothing to showcase his skills.

[irsheft]

The defense was more impressive.

[MRmongoose2124]

Lockout's over!

[AntoniChicoCA]

@BIGMERVS you obviously don't know who austin rivers.

[DENZELDAY]

cuh locked him up



[dcsports94]

@juststopitplease lol he was the #1 ranked HS player in the class of 2011

[juststopitplease]

when is this kid gonna be done with high school? looks like hes got a decent shot at a mid major if he improves his quickness and his strength. maybe even a top mac school. gl to him.

[lk90jn65]

@juststopitplease He's a freshman at duke

[FunWithFootball]

You can air-tight seal beef jerky, drugs or even Christmas sweaters. But don't do it to basketball jerseys.

[marcus4489074]

That shit was whack! Any junior varsity 1 or 2 guard better be able to dribble like that or just sit on the bench.

[bsktblljimmy3]

thumbs up if you found nothing good about this

[mrceltics4444]

@bsktblljimmy3 you and the 35 other blind people that liked your comment need to lower your standards that shit was crazy

[bsktblljimmy3]

@mrceltics4444

check out my channel and youll see my standards

[stagm3]

@mrceltics4444 well he has 39 thumbs up, you have 0...... guess more people agrees with him more than you :)

[bsktblljimmy3]

@stagm3

:)

[danj704]

Too bad he never actually shook anyone.

[fatcaesardlb]

@thebigshot187: He is Doc River's(current Celtics head coach)son.

[azmaiparashvilli01]

and he missed.

[AznBallaSWAG]

"Got bumped and missed the lay up" my ass! he went for the lay up backwards! He would have to just toss it up with no eyes on the rim.

[305Southbeach]

@hilerc why are you stealing other peoples comments?

[TacticsnGameplay]

UNC BABY!!!!!!!

[thebigshot187]

who the fuck is austin rivers

[kidkel21]

i bet he missed

[ironbull2003]

I'd rather see 2 dribbles in 2 seconds and see some ankles get broken... wtf was that lol?

[JenniroKing]

seven dribble fakes and STILL had to push off to get to the rim... Great defense.

[irsheft]

Rivers is a good kid and a great basketball player, it's just a shame he went to Duke.

[alldaterday33]

didnt seem like 7 dribbles in 2 seconds

[colyhrap]

Did it go in?

[GBYNATURE100]

who play's in cool grey's

[schackmountain]

are there people on this planet who can not do this? omg...

[rickross2112]

tough d!!!

[TheDreamStep]

He barely shook the kid. You can tell you cut the video when the other kid stuffed him and redeemed himself. Nice try. Get good

[thelastpizzapie]

I'm guessing you ended the video where you did because he didn't score, and because of this i fail to see how this is impressive in any way shape or form. You don't need to be fancy to win a game.

[ahmedadoodee]

@thelastpizzapie yupp , u can do it the steve nash way

[MrJuStInTiMe687]

@thelastpizzapie hes fancy but hes good i would like to see you do that

[DBPboarding]

@thelastpizzapie funny cuz hes better then you

[MrDodgeball18]

@thelastpizzapie I wanna see you handle the ball like that. the title doesn't say he scores or finishes. It just shows how good his handling skills are. Players miss shots all the time, who cares if he missed, that WAS impressive

[bertoc3]

@thelastpizzapie The video was title "7 dribble" not "Crossover layup"

Austin Rivers is Hardly fancy, That man can hoop

[nikepumps123]

@thelastpizzapie read the description. and come on its pretty impressive even if he fell on the way up

[130brrickett]

@thelastpizzapie so true.....

[MrLilamin]

@thelastpizzapie I would normaly call you a troll but this is sooo true :P

[Dalaserman]

@thelastpizzapie He... says in the description that he ends up missing. The point of the video is just to showcase his speed and control, which it clearly does.

[xBALLISLIFEx]

@thelastpizzapie

thats a technique called freezing your defender and gettin home focused on the balll and then when he stands straight up you blow by him.... i dont see how thats fancy just a technique he was using to get passed a defender unfortunately it didint work.

[thatpalekidd]

@thelastpizzapie its a frekin pro-am you dip shit. This game is just for fun. It's not like these guy are runnin plays taking it seriously. It's for fun. And how is this being fancy in any way? It's a dribble move. And I'm sure he would shake 90 percent of America with this, including your ass.

[logkev]

@thatpalekidd Im sure he would shake a bad defender... But 90 percent of AMERICA? c'mon guy.

[jaywillcarrot]

@thelastpizzapie I am guessing you haven't watched Austin Rivers' other vids. Don't comment on his game without enough background info.

[manbearpig6288]

@thelastpizzapie well he was murdered when he went up for the shot

[alansmith888]

Left hand or no left hand he is averaging close to 18ppg for a top 10 team in the country. Dominant for a freshman. Btw, he scored 30+ in this game so who fucking cares if he missed or made this one.

[yankeehater]

i dont understand what the defender did wrong

[declaytor]

did he make the basket? You don't get points for fancy dribbling in the NBA. Maybe AND1

[baseballme1t]

but did he finish... prob not

[Bkboymel509]

your fuckin crazy if you think austin rivers is just an averagfe player!he is too quick off he dribble and hard to guard, half of you not even closee to as good as him

[89Valkyrie]

Rivers = no left hand.

Perfect play to finish with left hand and he still can't.

Sorry, high school freshman are expected to use left hand now days.

[notleftbehind]

who keeps putting videos of this guy. he is an average player... any 9 yr old can do those moves they keep putting of him.

[carlhil2]

CARRYING!

[BeatTheHeatNigga]

...and lebron travelsss

[OssamadiedByMe253]

@BeatTheHeatNigga How was that a travel seriously?? you can take 2 steps.

[BeatTheHeatNigga]

@OssamadiedByMe253 it was 3

[BfromSD1]

Garbage.................

[MrWillw488]

try to look at his head without laughing (Austin Rivers)

[spinmiss12]

do u know how to count?

[alkatran14]

the title of this vid should be : 7 dribbles but still didn't pass his man to score

[TheClos91]

weak.. to get props in basketball u go harder than that. the training bra lookin uniform dont help either

[aznerd999]

Im watching his game right now.. he's so overrated

[ThePlaystation34life]

Yeah that proves how good a defender Johnson-Odom is. My team and the rest of the Big East has gotta be afraid.

[mrtubestreak]

i was there at NCCU

[SauseOnRice]

I first thought the title said he double dribbled 7 times in 1.8 seconds

[DaSpaceJammer]

he must not have finished

[joshuagigglesdewitt]

How many times did he break his ankles

[JCedition1]

@joshuagigglesdewitt 0

[imawesomeo69]

sorry to say wasnt that impressive

[chilipepper2015]

Did he score?

[KGCeltics08]

where did he go..



[drfish69]

if he made that shot i must be gay

[CJxGROVEst]

this fool overhyped

[tubnatic]

5 bucks ses he missed dat shot !

[mikebeezy13]

@tubnatic u can see he passes it instead of taking a shot.

[TheP00pBandit]

@tubnatic absolutely, they'd show it if it went in

[ivantot017]

0_0 nothng speciAl i see this every dAy in the court smh

[TheQmartin]

Did he finish

[yayaisabeast]

he didnt make the shot

[xiamwillx]

why so many dislikes? and i disagree 2 dribbles max then dunk my ass. a lot of players have a series of dribbles before they drive.. like tyreke evans for example

[letter117]

i can create no advantage with 7 dribbles too

[StauskasBasketball]

Reminds me of Kabango
