Following Team USA’s dunkfest showcase in Las Vegas, Austin Rivers is talking a mean game on twitter.
To fill out the rosters, USA Basketball had to call up players like Terrence Jones, Arron Afflalo and Amir Johnson.
Clearly, Rivers thinks he was deserving of at least an invite.
Straight up better than a lot of those dudes playing last night…..
Have to prove that this year. M.o.a.M
MIP…..why not

The “Man on a Mission” made it clear, however, that he was not throwing shade at any player in particular; instead, it’s just his competitive mindset talking.
Don't get my last tweet confused. EVERY player there last night was WELL deserved. As a competitor I just feel like I should be out there.

Nothing personal. All those guys playing last night are great players. Every single one. Just got to keep working to get out there is all!

While winning Most Improved Player next season would be a near miracle given the Clippers’ stacked roster, Rivers at least got one thing right. Talk is cheap—he’s got to show and prove.
At the End of the day…talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. So that's that.
M.o.a.M Got to keep pushing
