Austin Rivers The BEST Player In The Nation ULTIMATE Ballislife Mixtape!

[@najeefareed8890]

still the greatest ballislife I have ever seen, no matter what his nba career is

[@nazirkhan9998]

You need to go watch Terrance Ferguson or Trae Jefferson then. This is pretty good, but nowhere near the best mixtape.

[@erodoeht8838]

Had to come back to this after he was talking bout highlight culture killing modern basketball. He couldn't have been more right. He was HIM back in the day 💯.

[@Giants4Life]

Not really. Watching this with what we know now with his career makes it easier to call some of this stuff out…but his handle isn’t that good, it’s the same dribble crossover moves almost every time. You also aren’t getting away with sloppily dribbling through defenders at the next level just by being quicker than guys in high school. He has some nice passes to wide open guys…in high school. We’re we supposed to expect him to be able to get these shots off or separation at the next level? Look at his frame…too small. Too many guys his size in the NBA with legit bulk and more length. I’m not a 12 year NBA veteran, but it makes you wonder how long he would have been around if not for his daddy.

He didn't go from sugar to shit. He went from highchool to college then to the nba where each level is more challenging.

[@michaellynch5962]

He was Lonzo Ball before Lonzo Ball

[@DynamicUnreal]

It's like once he reached the NBA he lost all his confidence. He passes up shots all the time and seems really indecisive.

[@Agendasss]

He made a common mistake of listening to the wrong ppl and declaring early

@@Agendasss Going to a school where there are loads of stars is a problem too. You gotta go to one that gon let u start right away and have a major role in the offense. But decent enough to win games too

[@vlnt6499]

he just dropped 41 points🔥

[@RickAutie]

I think he lost a lot of his confidence coming into the NBA. If he gets that back, he could be deadly.

Austin rivers suffers from the skip Bayless curse: Skip bayless: Austin is going to be a star! 4 years later= bust Skip bayless: Tim Tebow is a winner all he does is win: 3 years later: cut by the new England Patriots and eagles:

[@polobrown6067]

Austin been doing pretty solid this season

[@Alta626]

Polo Brown he was expected to be a go to guy in the league

[@mUsr001]

no he was not.. he was a 10th draft pick. worse case scenario- cut from the nba best case scenario- jeff teague, kemba walker level of play realistic scenario - solid NBA player who will probably have a 10+ seasons career he is now a solid NBA player who is in the rotation of a contender

[@andrebailey4169]

+Bla Bleo he actually was expected to be he used to be praised alot,he is a solid player though

[@zacharyjones7948]

Technically he was right about Tebow. All he did was win until he got cut 🤷🏾‍♂️ Took a trash team to the playoffs and beat one of the best teams, and had a great game against the Patriots. At that time he accomplished more in half a season as a backup QB than Matt Ryan, Cam Newton and many other "star" quarterbacks but never got another shot

Not even close. AdrewWiggins, John wall, literally like 20 other guy

[@JacobG093]

Yeah I went to the same HS as him (he was a senior when I transferred in) and I went to a bunch of games. The day I heard about him was the day they played Saint Patrick's which had the #1 recruit (Rivers #2) Anthony Davis... The one game I didn't go to of course because I had no idea 😵

[@JacobG093]

Saint Patrick's won that game but Rivers put up like 38 if I remember correctly lol. The PG ended up being a 4 year starter for Florida Gulf Coast and led them to the 16 to 1 upset in the NCAA tournament. If you remember he threw a bunch of sick alley oops throughout the tournament haha. Brett Comer was his name. He was a dawg in HS too behind Rivers

He struggled with the pels first year and after that it just seemed like his confidence was shot and he just hasn't been the same. I think playing on the clippers will really help him

[@salmonvariety5896]

Tehkwando You were right

[@mrjonsey]

That jab step and pull up will get him the #1 pick in the 2012 NBA draft. Hes able to create a shot for himself at any point but especially late in games like Kobe. Pure scorer.

Favorite ballislife vid everything from music and editing just matches with everything

[@zproductionz]

Great video guys...yall have done it once again. To all the people saying he needs to develop his, you're right. At the college and pro level, there will be quicker, more tenacious defenders/defenses that will push him left. Sure, he's really dominant without it, but he will have to use his left more often at superior levels.

[@llgreensforvcllsold8356]

[@yojoeflow]

yo ballislife, u guys got to get the summer league footage good work, this video rivals the brandon jennings one.

[@JordanJumpin]

although his nba career hasnt been too good so far, we can see his development coming off the bench on the clippers. It looks like he still has high potential as a young nba player who can still develop. he is showing alot of confidence and shooting well and making big plays in the playoffs this year (other than that one choke turnover which he made up for the next game by sealing the deal against the rockets in game 3)

[@Khaldun777]

Austin Rivers is pretty awesome and probably will be a great player in the NBA one day. He needs to work on two weaknesses. 1) Majority of the time he beats his opponent to the left then move in for the lay up or dunk. 2) If he doesn't beat you left, he fakes right and pull back for the jumper. Watch the video its hard to miss.

he is really good dribbling to his left, i think what some people are getting at is that he often finished with his right when going left (i.e. when he crosses JW, who as a result almost blocks his shot
