Well pretty much all of that and also, if the story makes sense, and if there are hands in the opponents range, that can not win at showdown and might therefore potentially bluff. Here the opponent is essentially saying, he rivered top pair, and that can absolutely be true, since a lot of AX might play like this until the river. However the question is, if top pair would bet almost pot, because if that is not the case, then he is not really representing anything at all. Like maybe A7s or A4s, but thats pretty much it.

And since he has not faced any pressure, he can have a lot of different hands, that lack showdown value, including the one he actually had. Which by the way was not a busted draw but just some random J high, that tried to take it down with a C-bet on the flop, and gave up on the turn. But then decided to go for it, when you showed weakness by checking back the turn, and the perfect bluffing card then appeared on the river.

So as played I think, you made the correct decision by calling on the river. But personally I would have bet the turn for value when checked to. We are going to float quite a bit on the flop in position and then stab when checked to, and to balance that out we should also bet, when we have something strong like top pair second kicker. In the context of a single raised pot CO vs. BTN this is a quite strong hand, that is good enough for 3 streets of value.
