Duke Recruit Austin Rivers Pays Tribute To His Dad At McDonald's All-American Dunk Contest (Video)

By: Stephen Patterson

Austin Rivers, the son of Boston Celtic's head coach Doc Rivers, paid a little tribute to his father en route to winning the 2011 McDonald's All-American Dunk Contest.

Rivers, wearing his father's #25 Atlanta Hawks jersey, threw down a nasty windmill dunk from the baseline off a toss and picked up the only perfect score of the night (70 points).

The 6'3" senior in high school of Winter Park, Florida is considered to be the best player in the nation in his class and has committed to playing at Duke next season.

With the leaping ability and strength he displayed last night, it's easy to see why Blue Devil's fans are already foaming at the mouth as they await Rivers' arrival.

Do you think Rivers makes the Blue Devils the favorites to win the national championship next season?
