Not enough fans hate Austin Rivers yet. He’s patient. It will come.

He went to Duke, the leading cause of hypertension in college basketball, because he’s so comfortable with contempt.

“It would be weird,” Rivers said, “if people weren’t cheering against you. It would be boring. You want them to say crazy, bad things. That’s the way it’s always been, but it’s not personal. On the street, they always say, ‘Hey, man, I was just messing with you.’”
