Despite carving out a decent NBA career for himself, Austin Rivers will never shed the “Doc’s Son” label. And he once again had to hear it from opposing fans on Wednesday night.
After Rivers drained a three against the Thunder, he immediately had some fans sitting near court-side ejected for being “punks” and heckling him about his family.
Sure enough, one of the fans appeared to reveal himself on Twitter. But rather than stand up for himself, he basically admitted to the line of heckling, calling Austin Rivers “soft” for having him tossed.
Dude taking credit for … getting kicked out of an NBA game? Cool, cool. https://t.co/nHTzRhcYeD pic.twitter.com/1CTMqbxSuj

Luckily for this Thunder fan, he was only ejected from the game. And things didn’t escalate with Austin Rivers.
Heckling a player all game is pretty childish to begin with. But I get it, we’ve all been there. But to talk constantly about a dude’s family might be where we should draw the line.
The fans got the last laugh, though, as the Thunder ended up defeating Austin Rivers and the Nuggets 108-94.
