Austin Rivers claps back at Draymond Green: 'You were the luckiest basketball player I think I've ever seen'
Rivers doubled down by saying Green is a future Hall-of-Famer, but not because of his offense. “You were the luckiest basketball player I think I’ve ever seen,” Rivers said. “You were drafted to a franchise with a Hall of Fame front office, Hall of Fame coach, the greatest shooter of all-time and perhaps a top-five player of all time … not to mention one of the most lethal scorers of all time and arguably a top-10 player of all time, Kevin Durant, the same guy you chased off because you talk too much.
“There are clips of you getting a rebound and driving in a straight line and getting a wide-open layup because everyone’s fanning out to guard the actual talent on the team. Steve Kerr made your career. How dare you?
Coming at me, ‘Oh, I wish I could give my son $200 million if I was a coach. ’ Yeah, the NBA doesn’t give coaching jobs to guys who may or may not sucker punch one of the players and staff. ” Larry Brown Sports Austin Rivers responds to Draymond Green for his, “disrespectful,” comments yesterday: pic.
