Austin Rivers reminded some young hoopers why he’s got one of the most awesome mixtapes ever.
The former Duke Blue Devils star recently pulled up at Flow Shooting Academy in Orlando, Fla., and proved that he very much still has it.
His lightning-quick first step, shooting touch and, most importantly, ability to break ankles were all on display in one of the most savage crossover videos in recent memory.
After accepting a challenge from a camper, Rivers took a few jab steps before putting the ball on the floor and letting the defender fully commit. He then stopped on a dime, sending the camper cartoonishly hurtling across the floor. Rivers made sure to finish the play, swishing the jumper before turning his back and seemingly laughing at what he had just done to the camper.
Here is the video of that hilarious sequence.
Rivers also pulled it off while wearing a pair of loafers, a flex that further underscored the huge difference between a true pro and a regular hooper. Imagine what he might have done in a pair of basketball shoes.
Rivers might not have become a superstar in the NBA, but he can still look like one when matched up against random hoopers brave enough to risk their ankles.
