Austin Reaves On The Exact Moment He Fully Gained LeBron's Trust 

The truth is that there are guys who can get by on just inherent talent & athleticism, and Reeves knows that. Young MJ was exactly like that; while 1990s MJ was more measured, disciplined, and moved while off-ball to shift defenses away from the real play.

its why it blows many minds when such capable players don't just buy in to systems, i get egos and trying to be "the guy", they are good enough to do so much. and every team that wins a champ, no complaints from the other guys who contributed

Exactly Reaves is the perfect team player compare this mindset to Jordan Pooles…

Jordan Poole take note.

Beat me to it ​@@samtaylor9626

I stg I’m the only one n my friend group that fw AR😢😂

Ayo

This is outrageous.

😂😂😂😂

@@OBJ317 outrageous how not many people are like me😔😔

Same

​@@JJRedick get the '16 Cavs team

​@@JJRedickYou would be one of the few lebron interviews (im sure you know that ) 😬👍

If JJ was on that team he'd get the interview easy

Amazing? He avgs 12ppg lmao but ok.

@@HARRY__PeckerHe’s on a team with LeBron and AD.

​@@HARRY__Peckerits 15 so get ur facts straight lol... and 15 ppg as 6th man is fking great

What’s crazy is that he could of got drafted but chose not to because he wanted to be a Laker

@@kodakmoment3541 I read somewhere the Pistons wanted to draft him but he declined , I didn't even know you could do that . Or maybe the Pistons just drafted someone else when he said he wasn't interested .

You might even say he has a first one in, last one out mentality.

You can tell he works hard asl he seems like a really good kid

Sneaky athletic , high iq player

Fr jj always edging us

He's got a few that are amazing.

@@JJRedickwoahhhh pause

@@noah-jn4rmwhat about that is pauseworthy 🤡

@@noah-jn4rmhow is that pause 🤨

@@thogvii934the dude gotta 2 years old talking bout “pause”🤦🏿‍♂️

For real lol

Especially in years 20/21. After doing it with multiple teams.

He doesn’t start.

@@scandelezhe did but playin amazing off the bench only reason he don’t is for more defense, don’t comment unless u act kno why he don’t start

^ fr

You really think that’s a Hanes hoody?

Having no designer clothes means you ‘really want it’ ??? Lmfao okay man. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

“he’s one if the few that really wants it” typical vague praise for a white athlete

Plus he literally took less money to stay on the Lakers. He had a chance to go for way more with other teams

@@chinoxSDduh

As a Mavs fan, I see your point. By the way, you can win if your 3rd best player is in a conversation with Philly's 2nd best player.

Yea AR could Avr 24 PPG in like a year after getting 6th man off the year getting 20 OFF THE BENCH​@@BillTony2

But if we get Zack and A Center We 2 peating and then getting a bronny a chip with bron for his 6th or 7th ring watch

What

@@yaaboideeit’s a great Ferris Bueller reference

Lol

🤣🤣🤣

It's also an ageometer​@@JacksonDreyer

Somewhat. I feel like AD is more the heart. LeBron is obviously the leader and always shows up but when AD is playing even remotely decent they aren’t loosing.

AD is the heart of the team. They go as he goes. He’s the #1 option on offense and the anchor on defense.

@@scandelezbro AD always on the floor he is definitely not the pulse of our squad

I mean...I thought nobody else caught that but, I was like...OMG...this man is a beast!😂😂😂

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Bron isn’t just any team leader. It’s not like it makes Reaves play worse either for this particular example.

@@beckmanchilds756 Lebron isn't any team leader based on what? He's the telling guys what to do both offensively and defensively, and getting them to buy into a system to compete. Just listen to what JR Smith had to say. Being passive aggressive in interviews and trade rumors doesn't negate that

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. You can tell that’s not the full interview. They will probably post the full episode at some point.

Hold up…..Boobie Gibson was one of them ones

I feel like he definitely will be. Imagine when LeBron retires and its just him and AD ? 🫢

🤣🤣 he ain’t doing the same moves as u lil bro he’s in the nba you never even played d1

@@VoscoBack nobody doing their hw on you cause you’re a nobody, need to flex in yt comments for validation from strangers 💀 do better

He’s confident as hell. His bag of skills is never fully on display tho. He’s settling for his role and driving and hitting contested shots often still, but his true offensive bag is quite extensive. If you look at his hs/college highlights he’s been doing the same exact things. People do it all the time, comparing players to their previous college or even hs days but that never translates. The most difficult shots he has put up in the past he’s basically done as a laker. He’s just not needed to score so much (which I don’t think he could do full volume). It’s also very impressive how he basically has to cook with a microwave being on a team with Lebron and AD who average like 50+ points every game. The other thing is that AR’s handling is the part of the game that translated to the nba best. Most guards Can’t translate like that unless they’re a lottery pick. Lakers rely on Reaves to handle the rock After Lebron. Which is nuts. He’s a special solid player for the lakers. Signing him for another 4 years for less than 60 mil was a great move Edit: I forgot to mention he has plays great defense. His anticipation is great. Sneaky good and he’s got length.
