Austin Reaves haters proving they don’t know basketball. Recency bias is dumb.

[nora🍒 @Lakernationn27]

Yes it is THAT serious for them🤣

[Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers]

The reaction challenge with Luka and Austin was too good 😂

[lukaDoncic @itlefight]

Met Austin Reaves on the plane.. talked to him a lil bit and he said he’d take a pic with me when we got to baggage. I had to go through inspection for 30 mins but he, his girl + his group STILL waited for me man. This dude has been my pfp on insta for years… Ts mean smth to me

[D.O.C @DOC323123]

That was probably the best missed free throw of all time

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝑮𝒐𝒍𝒅 🏆 @PurpGoldLakers]

AR deserves way MORE credit for creating his own shots and making them

HIGH IQ GUARD

[Casual Sports Fan @bigsportscasual]

“Austin Reaves doesn’t play any defense”

[Lakers Lead @LakersLead]

GET JJ BACK ON TV ASAP 🤣🤣

[𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝕞𝕒𝕟𝕠 〰️ @MANOMAGlC]

Look at JJ’s face when Gordon’s crashing out at the chef lmao I’m crying bro

Austin Reaves' 2023 WCF Run:

• 21.3 PPG
• 5.3 APG
• 54.9 FG%
• 56.0 3PT%
• 100.0 FT%

Reaves joined Kevin Johnson as the only players to ever average 20+ PPG on 50/50/100% shooting splits in a Single Conference Finals Run!

[Brian T. Stoner, CPA @bstonercpa]

Now you are just hating (and cherry picking stuff) was about 70% when Austin came back early from his oblique injury (4-6 weeks normally, came back in less than 4 weeks to help his team). 2 of his first 3 games left a little bit to be desired, but in last 3 games against OKC (who had pretty much best defense in NBA last year) he averaged 25pt 4reb 7ast on 51/39/82 shooting with TS% of 66%. So give it a rest.

@seraphroundz @KalshiNBA Right…

@Fullcourtpass @LawMurrayTheNU just making shit up clown bitch @LawMurrayTheNU

[CORNELIU$ @_C0RNELIUS]

Nassstyyyyy because Austin Reaves must not be in that same rule of law

[LAbound @LAbound2]

A few facets makes Reaves lethal as a downhill scorer

-A plethora of counters that are rooted in deceleration. In order to stop AR, a defender has to cut off his live dribble AND footwork multiple times

-The ability to finish off the wrong foot and maintain balance

[IraKnowsBall @__IKB__]

Top 20 player in the league… it’s time we stop playing around with how good this guy is

[qwanny @shutupqwan]

Someone told me Austin isn’t exciting and I’m convinced it’s a PR issue. He has a deep bag and a nasty handle but because he doesn’t have a black adjacent swag like Tyler Herro, people assume his game is sauceless from the outside looking in

[❄️ @lakeshowlocked]

75% at the rim AS A GUARD is unheard of bro

Literally just him and Shaivonte as the 2 most efficient guards in the sport and maybe of all time

Dude was worth every penny, that all star appearance gonna hit

[Basketball University @UofBasketball]

Austin Reaves is one of the best paint scorers in the NBA, period…

Ruthless getting downhill. High foul draw rate. Insane finisher. Soft touch & bag of counters when he can’t get all the way to the rack. Premium grade paint bucket.

[New Dawn @imageofanewdawn]

Now he wants to watch what he say about a player that’s cause Austin agent Reggie was going to check that jaw for talking about trading Austin 😂

[BBall Index @The_BBall_Index]

Using our Player Card Tool we can look at Austin Reaves top 10 metrics last season.

-Strong on-ball gravity
-Creates quality looks for others
-Strong effect on the FT battle

[LakersMuse @LALMuse]

The Lakers released a video of a competitive golf game between Luka and Vando including trash talk between them:

And then you can see Austin Reaves bullying both of them in the background while Luka tells him to shut up 😂
