As soon as the news broke that Austin Rivers signed with Houston, a lot of Rockets fans had similar reactions.
Don’t Austin Rivers and Chris Paul hate each other? Didn’t Paul lead his teammates through the secret tunnels of Staples Center in a planned post-game attack on Austin Rivers in January of 2018? Could the bad blood between these two players spoil the camaraderie in the locker room?
Well, it looks like the media blew the “beef” between Paul and Rivers out of proportion. Austin Rivers told reporters that he and Chris are cool and that if they had real problems, he would’ve taken his talents elsewhere, via Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
