Meet The NBA's First Ever Industry Plant 

Let's be real, he's only being called a plant because he's white. He's very talented and a super smart ball player. He doesn't force shots, great from all areas of the floor and is an incredible passer and very solid defender. Him coming up the way he did gave him time to really learn the game which is why such a young player plays like seasoned vet. He's got a great career ahead of him.

If anything Tyler Hero was the first industry plant. Hill Billy Kobe is just a genuine hooper. Got it out the mud fr that’s why we Laker fans love him. He got hella heart

This kid has something very special about him. He is very modest, a hard worker, tenacious, willing to learn and is just fearless. Not scared of the big moments. If you watch him he has a very uncanny way of creating space and is aware of defenders around him. Talented young kid. He can only improve.

Man seeing bron at the end of that and watching the way the Lakers respond to Reaves just tells me that dude is a baller through and through. No plant, nothing but a baller who loves the game.

I’m pretty sure he kind of chose to go undrafted bc he was gonna go in the 2nd round but he wanted to play for the Lakers so he asked teams to not draft him

Austin Reaves already revealed that he was approached by the Pistons for that 42nd pick and he declined because he already have an agreement with the Lakers. Hope you make a video about the 'Superstar' calls.

The greatest come up story is his skin care routine; bro found the proactive along the way and got unleashed 💀

We better keep him Lakers better not let him go like the did to AC

AR-15 has me dead ever time I hear it 😂😂😂

The truth is that he's getting a lot of hype because he's doing very well as an undrafted, awkward white guy in a league dominated by black athletes. He has a great story and as we all know, people who have to talk about sports on a daily basis need content and they will use whatever they can find and the kid is a hot topic. This proves that if you can truly play and you get an opportunity and you take full advantage of the opportunity, great things can happen for you. You don't have to have a lot of hype coming into the NBA. When given the chance, you create your own hype by your play and that's what Austin Reeves has done.

Can’t be an industry plant when you providing the receipts of a real baller

He plays hard, goes in for the contact, takes it, makes the bucket, get the FT. If you see him play it's not surprising why he goes to the line that much. He's looking for the contact. His crossover is so old school and his handles look like those of Bird. This man looks like he's straight out of the 80s. I love it.

Put Tyler herro, Austin Reeves, Alex Caruso on the same team just for the memes

You can’t play 4 years in college and come from a 2 way contract and be an industry plant.

He's very good at making decisions is confidence and doesn't rely on his athleticism. He is no industry plant he's just a straight hardworking dude with a genuine passion for the game unlike some other players which play it because of their facility due to physical features. He's intentional and precise with all of his moves and as long as he stays away from the la extravagant lifestyle he'll keep on improving

I think the reason Austin Reaves gets so many calls is because he literally never complains and rarely taunts. Say someone who complains to the ref gets less calls than someone who keeps playing without complaining.

Austin is just different! He has crazy potential and he works hard.

Austin Reeves just has that hustle in him and i think especially players just respect that

I picked him up at the end of my fantasy season. Best decision I ever made.

That’s pretty damn cool to play for your favorite team.

Bro's story is like a 2K MyCareer

I just came across your channel because I’m a diehard Laker fan,I really like your platform I just subscribed to your channel keep up the good work.

His Bball IQ is high , got court vision, got the handels , hustles , finds the cracks to capitalize on , searches for the contact and knows how to draw the fouls ppl underestimate him yet he carried the lakers on a few occasions while bron was out and he's killing it right now so yeah give the man his flowers cuz he's earning em. Lakers better sign him for the real $$ or he's gone.

This is Caruso 2.0 they better hold on to him

Man I love this game!

So Happy For Him... So Happy He's With Lakers... Hope Lakers Can Go Finals... But Have To Get Past Nuggets...

his ball handling is just amazing and i hope they pay him well.he deserves it

Reeves is going to go crazy in the playoffs I promise you

Nice to see your videos again bro

People just can't accept he got that dog in him

My goat back at it again

Does anyone else think he sorta looks like Tom holland when Lebru was trying to describe that one play to him😂😂

I think he’s a hard working young man. He seems to be good at his job. That’s enough to get my respect.

Don't think you guys know what an Industry Plant is...coming from someone who's worked with Major Record labels and Artists on a global level....Reaves is hyped, because he's playing good.

just watched him get buckets with hachimura in gm1 against memphis. man that shit was inrpiring

bro keep it up nice vid

That is a WILD title. I had to click. You earned this click regardless of what the rest of this is XD.

Reaves went I drafted, but then proved him self hardworking kid

lmao, did Shannon just really spell both as boaf?? 😂

I can't believe Lebron made and narrated this video about Austin. He must really feel something for him. 😅

If he were dark skinned or had the last name Bird, there wouldn’t be any allegations 😂

Awesome video

The AR-15 nickname is simply amazing lol

He gets the correct calls whenever he goes to the line. He sells the contact, but he used to not get whistles when he was obviously fouled. Shit if ad sold it a bit more, he'd be getting way more free throws too. They miss like 4-5 fouls on AD under the rim every game. Bron always gets hacked 2-4 times on drives without calls too.

A little Bird, a little Maravich, a little West?

The guy has grit I’m a laker die hard and I love to see him in the purple and gold

If you look at how his agent engineered his joining the lakers, it gets crazier.

Industry plant? So how’s that? I understand a plant in the music industry, but what’s the equivalent of auto-tune in the nba? They have a machine sing for them. Who’s making AR’s baskets for him? He still has to play…and dude can play.

Flightreacts been routing for his potential a year before the media saw the result of the potential

He reminds me of a basketball version of brady. Hes not crazy athletic but makes good choices so far.

Bruh 7:20 I would have made it 3 hours minimum

He's from Arkansas. If you're from here, that's the only explanation needed. If not, we're the third poorest state with 3 of the top 25 wealthiest companies in the nation. We're born grinding here. Hustle is life. I know people ARs age from Newark that didn't grow up with water or electricity. We breathe basketball. We're a modern Indiana, and now you get to see our Larry Bird. Not a plant. He just a poor boy from Arkansas. That's more than enough I promise. BTW, there's no such place as Cedar Ridge Arkansas. The towns you showed are Little Rock and Fayetteville. He's from Newark. Cedar Ridge is the name of the school in Newark he went to.

The Celtics were talking about picking him up on the summer league that year

He might be a plant but he still gotta ball out to be getting those numbers

He got that new age Larry Bird game

Great video, but the volume is crazy low. You should upload with much higher volume bud.

He’s a kid from a small town with big talent, not to mention he’s tuff an nails

Live your dream Austin...Help us win the Finals🤪 I went back and studied you last year. I said , yeah he's a shooter 🔫🤪 AR15... Planted like a Rifle....I've been waiting for him to sound off

Austin Reeves the only reason he’s even talked about is cuz he gets buckets and cuz he’s white. He’s not like Luka Doncic which everybody knew he was a born to be great at basketball. He would have been a bust if he wasn’t. He just so happened to be worth the hype. Same thing with Giannis. Same thing with Embid. The reason AR is getting a lot of love is because just like Alex Caruso he’s an underdog story. A white boy in a black dominated sport which as of late it’s really not so dominated by black men anymore. We got Joker getting MVPs, Devin Booker Puerto Rican, trae young both white and black. Irregardless Austin like Caruso showed a lot of hustle, a lot of enthusiasm, and no one expected much out of him. The fact that he’s getting 20 and 5 and 4 a game is huge for a summer league prospect. Caruso got the bag and honestly we miss Carusos enthusiastic dunks but now we got Austin Reeves. It’s very much the love poole or looney got at the warriors last year. Pools has unfortunately seen his stock drop down for obvious reasons but the point I’m making is our love as viewers goes with results and expectations. When underdogs succeed we love it when high expectations go sour we dislike it. That’s just NBA viewership. If Austin gets a big bag contract and doesn’t perform remember all that love because he won’t have it and it will be just a memory. Honestly Reeves is young. Has a lot to learn but he’s hustling. He’s improving. He’s making big plays with no fear. But best part that ppl love the most is that his heart is in it. That’s all that ppl can hope for

How can you be an industry plant in a game where you have to be an absolute stud? It’s not like rap where someone can write your raps lol. You literally have to be one of the best players in the world to play in the NBA.

Kinda reminds me of Jerry!! Thank you!! Mic'2023

Whoosh! He has the stuff.

We have tooforwon at home is crazy

Crazy how LA keeps finding these guys. They would do well not to trade him.

He's filling the void left when Caruso got traded. The Lakers fans just love a solid, kinda awkward looking, hard-working white role player.

Bro I swear some people just hate Austin reeves because he’s white. And that pisses me off because he had to work his ass off to get to where he is at now.

6:00 225 varick st i use to work around that area they walking in the interview.

He getting that bag this season lakers better not be cheap like they did Caruso

Reaves vs Luka gonna be epic

32 teams passed on him. So they’re all in on “the plant?”

The prophecies of "The White Mamba" are true. Still room to grow.

Arkansas boy is killing it

What exactly is an industry plant in the context of basketball?

Pretty much open season since everyone else in there prime giving up ! Might as well give trophy to the lakers now

I understand the vid and all and i aint hating on it but... He worked his butt off to get where he is. 4yrs in college, chose to go undrafted just to play with the Lakers, and getting better and proving himself everytime he's on the court.

Imagine if the Lakers had both him and Caruso

Yall need to stop with the cap. This kid can BALL. he is though, and has no fear. Let's judge the dude by his game and not the color of his skin. HE CAN PLAY.. PERIOD.

Pretty hard to get credit where it’s due nowadays

Last night he score 28 points!

More years to come he will be like the legendary Larry Bird

Love that guy!

love the video but make your mic louder

Well first to be an industry plant there would have to be an independent basketball circuit

Industry plants in competitive sports make no sense unless the competition/outside entities outside of the player own their own ability. I can understand an effort to push someone to be the face of a league. He is just a hungry Dimond in the ruff so far.

Imagine if they called Bubba Wallace a Nascar industry plant.

Lakeshore forgot about Caruso cuz we got a new lightskin in town

After reading some of these comments and shit, let’s be honest the only reason we’re calling him an industry is because he is white.

my dream is Caruso back on the Lakers and watch Caruso and Reaves run with BRon and AD

coldest white boy in the nba that's american

His diverse and creative offense while having great fundamentals, instincts and aggression reminds me, dare I say, of MJ. If he idolized Kobe, that makes sense.

He is like the laker version of bird.

omg.... this is the first time I have of this theory... LOL>..... I love it.

I will NEVER get over how weird Anthony Davis looks like.

Where is the video footage of those superstar calls from refs?

AR 15 is a baller that's it ,especially when your compared to kobe then you know your in rare company,The sky is the Limit For reeves,The Lakers better take care of Him💯🏀🔥

Let AR live it's undeniable that's he's Ballin y'all reaching

Reeves the new Jerry West put some respect on that bois name

AR 15 is an industry plant. Me: so this the National Botany Association?

I know this vid is about AR but that may be the first real genuine moment I've seen from LeBron at the end. He didn't seem manufactured and fake like he usually does

Can someone define Industry Plant? Thanks.
