Austin Rivers has heard it all, and now he's firing back

LOS ANGELES - Austin Rivers knows what you think about him. Spoiled. Cocky. Entitled coaches' kid. Bust.

"People can say whatever they want about me and my father [LA Clippers coach Doc Rivers]," the guard told ESPN in a lengthy interview Wednesday night. "I get it. I can even put my ego aside and understand why people don't like the situation. When I was growing up and I'd see the coach's son, you'd be like, 'He sucks. He's only on the team because of his dad.' So I get it."

He might even agree with those who see him that way.
