Austin Rivers opens up about his father, Chris Paul, and playing in LA

When Austin Rivers first joined the LA Clippers, he had to weather a mailstorm of media scrutiny. Words like "nepotism" were flung around with abandon and glee. And yet, he survived.

"Me and [Doc's] relationship is a lot different than what people think it is. You know, growing up he was always in Boston.
