You know your career has gone down the tubes when you get blocked by one of the running jokes of the NBA. TWICE. Poor Austin Rivers. Just can’t seem to put it all together. Victimized by someone who has to be one of the least athletic players in the league, Raymond Felton.
Felton was left for dead at the end of his time with the Knicks, and now he has improbably ascended back to the point where he can get triple-doubles and score 21 points sometimes. How did this happen? I really thought he was done for sure. He’s still pretty fat, and his effectiveness comes and goes, but he’s playing a role for the Mavericks.
Never mind that he showed who REALLY should have been drafted 4th overall in 2005, scoring 21 to Chris Paul’s 5.
