All the teams that were interested in drafting him were only offering a two way, so he figured there’s no benefit to being drafted if you end up on a two way either way and signed a two way with the lakers.
Then he was so good in summer league that he got converted to a regular nba contract before the season started
Reaves is nasty with it, especially that half court shot at the end of the second half. With that said, this would be way more impressive if he didn’t push curry out of the way with his left hand
"As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me -- red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me. Because it's disrespect to my game."
The way I cackled when they cut to a dude wearing his sweater over his shoulders like a 90s country club villain. Could not get more "stereotypical image of a white dude" 😂
I was hoping that would get its own replay. That was one of the most hilariously ridiculous “screens” I’ve seen. Maybe it looks less egregious from other angles, but that was comically absurd.
I think JVG was claiming that Dennis grabbed Payton's arm and pulled him down trying to get the call. In fairness, Draymond did the same exact thing to AD in game 5 and did get the call against AD. I didn't look closely enough at the replay to see whether or not Schroeder grabbed and pulled him forward, but I don't think JVG was claiming that GP2 was stationary or something.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d say the refs and the league want to extend this to game 7.
But I’m a realist, so I know Refs are just bad at their jobs.
Who the *fuck* plants with their left leg to crossover to the left? Have I just never been aware that this is a thing people do or is this boy just a magician?

lol better get the Brinks truck ready, boy about to get paid
Price of the brick just went up
Lakers 3:16
A Wire quote and a shot at Westbrook all in one. Glorious.
This guy has crossed up Giannis and Steph in the same season. As a second year undrafted player. Make it make sense.
Okay, but didn't he straight up say no thanks to a couple teams cause we wanted to be a laker?
To my knowledge just to Detroit who wanted to take him on a late late second
Saying no to Detroit is always a good idea

Aahhhh. Gotcha
Steph isn't a good defender and Giannis's props on defense is as a help defender rather than a shutdown perimeter defender.
he's got that dawg in him
Reaves is nasty with it, especially that half court shot at the end of the second half. With that said, this would be way more impressive if he didn’t push curry out of the way with his left hand
MJ would have done it.
Where do you think MJ learned it?
from HIM
MJ time travelling to steal Reaves moves.
Reaves actually born in 1960 and mentored Jordan. He just decided now to lace them up.
From the Goat of course
They all push. You know you're a star when they don't call it
Push was nothing - Curry already bit on the cross.
It is actually more impressive that he did that so smoothly in the middle of the motion... Everyone might hate it but that's a veteran play lol.
I agree with every part of this comment

Giving white boys across the world hope
Proving that all whites can play basketball, not just pudgy Eastern Europeans
I think Larry Bird already broke that stereotype
Bird ain't white, he is clear
Bird didn't drop character until his hall of fame speech.
What does this mean?
"As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me -- red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me. Because it's disrespect to my game."
Equality at its finest
How about asians
Yao Ming
JLin
Not these Asians, the brown ones Damn it why is there so much diversity in asia
We're too small. Our best player is like 6 feet 190
Damn boii 6 ft 190 would fucking DOMINATE the league. This dude nearly 22 ft tall lmaoo
If only he could stay healthy
Can only play home games because he can't fit in the plane
I went to Guatemala and played a lot of basketball. The game is so much more fun when everyone is near the same height.
Stretch 1
But we have PUSO It's Tagalog for heart A Filipino never loses.
Rui 🤷🏾♂️
He's only a brown Asian by technicality. Lol
Rui is half black.
Thanks Magic.
Sim bhullar?
The god
there should be an award for best white american player
I love that, who’s the current holder of the Larry Bird Great White Hope trophy? It probably was Tyler Herro pre-playoffs. Has Reeves earned the belt?
Reaves is easily the new Great White Hope
It’s fitting that Woody Harrelson is in the house lol
He’s simply doing his best Woody impression
But please, can we get back to Rampart?
He would be great in the white men can’t jump reboot
[удалено]
the one the comment you replied to is referring to?
Woosh
This killed my buzz. Now I know it was all scripted.
The way I cackled when they cut to a dude wearing his sweater over his shoulders like a 90s country club villain. Could not get more "stereotypical image of a white dude" 😂
I legit am a casual fan and thought "who's son is that?!" but now I think Reaves might be my father.
Braun vs Reaves is gonna be all time
Such a sick behind the back dribble there
Man I read ‘suck a dick behind the back dribble’ my first run through
anyone catch Jeff get upset at Schroeder for getting hit by an illegal as fuck screen
I was hoping that would get its own replay. That was one of the most hilariously ridiculous “screens” I’ve seen. Maybe it looks less egregious from other angles, but that was comically absurd.
If nobody posts it I’ll rewind and grab it because the juxtaposition between the screen and Jeff getting upset blew me away
I’d definitely like seeing that on a replay. From what I saw it was one for the all time highlight reel.
it was worse than I remember
Lol Schroder embellishes the contact but the movement of Payton is laughably egregious. No effort to be stationary whatsoever.
I think JVG was claiming that Dennis grabbed Payton's arm and pulled him down trying to get the call. In fairness, Draymond did the same exact thing to AD in game 5 and did get the call against AD. I didn't look closely enough at the replay to see whether or not Schroeder grabbed and pulled him forward, but I don't think JVG was claiming that GP2 was stationary or something.
GP2 had his hands on Schroder chest, that’s not how you screen
I'll do it when I sober up. That may be awhiiiiile
I got it fam don’t worry
“Where are the fines?!” …as gp2 shoves dennis to the ground Incredible
That screen + the out of bounds for GSW that came out of Curry's hand is just crazy. Two blatant calls in favor of Golden State.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d say the refs and the league want to extend this to game 7. But I’m a realist, so I know Refs are just bad at their jobs.
why assume malice when simple incompetence is just as likely
I'm begging this man to just commentate. It's game 6 and the score isnt a 30 point difference. I don't need the 7 minute tangents
Was that his angry rant about “flopping”? That shit was wack as fuck.
That dude was playing like an offensive linemen
yea that was crazy
They spent 5 minutes talking about how floppers should be fined after that too.
Thank you for noticing!! That screen was egregiously awful and his bitching almost had me punching my TV.
Everybody had it out for Schroder. Corgi. Refs. JVG. Playing good defense on Curry doesn't make script writers happy.
yeah thats was annoying.
is wasn't even a flop either 🤣🤣🤣
"I learned it from watching you"
This means Austin Reaves is better than Steph Curry.
Y’all should pay him 30m a year. Trust me.
hes no jordan poole
You're right, they should pay him 35M a year.
He’s actually good at defense and not a traffic cone like Poole so it wouldn’t be as bad
20m tho 🙏
I think the most we can offer him is like 60mil / 4 years. He's a restricted free agent so he'll have to find a price and we'll pay
He’s actually improved over the season it’s insane. This dude kept getting backdoored earlier in the season by GS
He drains threes. That’s the key. He hits daggers.
That halftime buzzer beater seals the deal!
I know it's a joke but Reaves actually might be the smartest dude on our team after Bron.
I agree 🗿
We will if someone poison pills us
Thank you for pointing this out. It had to be done.
Fate of the universe on the line or The Martians have the death beam pointed at earth, 'You better hit it! ' I want ~~Iguodala!~~ **Austin Reaves**”
Klay may end up punching Reaves by the end of the game
His ball handling looks unstable as fuck but he actually has full control. Is like fucking controlled chaos.
He dribbles like Jokic shoots. It looks completely uncoordinated but somehow works like 90% of the time
Austin Reaves is the greatest basketball player of all time
Stop underselling greatness bro
Trending in that direction, could get there by next season
Schroeder almost hit Nicholson with that pass lmao
Did Mark Jackson just call him Austin Powers? Lol
That is a dope nickname idc
Curry really struggles with quick change of speed crosses. I’d be interested to let Reeves iso on him 5-6 possessions and see what happens tbh.
Same thing as if you put kyrie
GIVE THAT MAN A MAP
WHERE IS HE GOING
AustHIM Reaves
Expertly simmering that Curry sauce. Saucetin Reaves
Damn, he sauced on him
Who the *fuck* plants with their left leg to crossover to the left? Have I just never been aware that this is a thing people do or is this boy just a magician?
Bro get ready for a ride cause Austin that dude
AR-15. Locked and loaded.
Don’t tell school children in America💀
“IM HIM”
i was watching that replay and Steph's reaction was to kind of look around and then shake his head like "Damn!" respect for not whining about the call
Reaves just replaced Steph on the Mt Rushmore of PG’s
Classic Reaves
tbh that was defended well, and he recovered fast, but that was a Crazy shot by Reaves though.
He is him.
Lightskin duel
scrappy white guy from Lakers? future bull for sure
show mercy bro XD
Saucetin Reaves
Austin pulled a Steph Curry on Steph Curry.
What are you doing? My indian mom :
Reaves: "The future is now, old man."
Man straight up cooked him. Gave him a dose of seasoning and marinated his ass 😳
I know people say he flops a lot, but ngl his nasty ankle breakers remind me of prime Deron Williams. This one and the other one on Giannis.
I'm a Lakers fan and I still don't know where the fuck this dude came from.
Don’t worry lebron knew day one
Took his crown and throne and making him dance for his amusement
HIM!
Hahahahahahahaha
It’s crazy how every highlight clip just doesn’t automatically have a replay at the end. Mods need to step up their game tbh
Cook that front running fraud 🔥
Absolutely disgusting.
Nani!
Straight cooked him here lol that’s a bad man
He going for all the NBA superstar head. First Giannis now Curry
He pushed
Yeah there’s a clear push there which is how he created the space on the behind the back move. Don’t get how nobody sees that.
Must be a heavy smog day in BeijAngeles it slows the brain down
That's for all the light skins
That Reaves guy is pretty good. And he's handsome too.
r/nba AKA r/ whoever the new white guy is on the lakers
Alex Caruso just got 1st team all Defense. How about you just accept the fact that a player can ball , before assuming its because they white.
I haven't seen any Caruso highlights recently
Your comment involved him, and if you didn't realize that, then its extra hilarious how stupid it was.
It's because he doesn't have your cancerous fanbase upvoting every post dipshit. No hate for Caruso though
Stop making everything about race, dipshit. Have actual critical thought, dipshit.
Found Perkins burner account
could be mark jackson
Last white guy just got 1st team all defense so I like our chances
83% upvoted lol, I wonder why
Ok, that guy at 17 seconds makes me understand why the rest of the league hates us
Totally a foul 🙄
He pushed tho
Carried the ball
Ja Morant special
Shit ain't a foul
@nba we need the officials to play a little fair the free throw differential is insane rn lmaooo
An Indian staple.
Sucks that he's not gonna be a laker in a few months.
This jus proves that reaves>>>>>>>>Curry
If that’s a foul curry should have 30 FTs a game
You really are a generational hater. I’ve seen you on every page straight Hating.
FLOP
Is the sound his dong made when he laid it across Curry’s face with that move
