From Curry to FIGHTING WITH KLAY on the bench to LEBRON getting in Laker Teammate's face during a timeout! NBA hidden chats! th-cam.com/video/2NKE_Lnn1cU/w-d-xo.html
Fearless and smart. He's not just out there making shots; he's running the show when it matters most. You got two HOFers and it's Austin Reaves making the plays. Who would you want?
@@ninosmokedya3154Nah we had a lot of washed up players up for contract after we won the championship. Rob had to trim some fat off the team and do a mild rebuild since we didn't have many draft picks. I would've loved to have kept Caruso, KCP and Kuz I think they have more to give the Lakers.
it really is impressive how the front office righted the ship at the trade deadline. The pieces they acquired have really meshed well, and they’re looking more and more dangerous.
So happy for that kid. He has looked rock solid since he stepped into the summer league games a couple years ago, and been improving ever since. So fundamentally sound and not afraid of the moment.
Yep because he has been training him which I believe that’s one of the reason Lebron trusting him more and more people forgot that Phil worked with Kobe, Kyrie and Lebron with cavs and now with Lebron with the lakers, he has been working with Austin
@@skelatons63 yeah I noticed. If LeBron is stubborn they will loose because LeSystem wasn't working today also by 4th he is tired. Reeves got the clutch gene looks like. He had to be unleashed sometimes they contain players because if they shine their price goes up plus other office politics like hierarchy etc.
In a playoff game (even though it's just game 1 of the first round.) Did you ever think we'd get a BANG!!! from Mike Breen for Austin Reaves??? Go Lakers Lakeshow!!! 🏀🏀🏀
Reaves,Russell,AD,Bron and Rui was a lethal lineup and not surprisingly, I've always liked them as players, Palinka saved this team with those trades, Rui and D'Angelo were huge
i love that bron is not taking all the carrying cause his team can score now and not just depend on him anymore, I'll be happy if they win this chip this season bro. They work their ass up to the standings and to make the playoffs
I simply haven't been watching basketball. I was a huge Pacers fan growing up but it turns out I was just a Reggie Miller fan. I have watched one or two games since he retired in 2005. Otherwise it's just been clips on TH-cam
Reaves is a great player. Those clutch points were🔥And that backhand pass to Rui who then made a three was just outstanding. He is doing great things and I see him getting better and better as time goes by. Let's Go Lakers
I have been saying this for a while now if they have Rui and AR in the starting lineup it makes the Lakers the best offensive juggernaut super wholesome team in the league! 💯
They are not a super team. They would need 3 elite players to be that. I think the only team that can be called a super team is the Suns right now. The rest are dynamic duos.
They have a great offense but to me it's the Lakers defense at the end the key to their success. Lebron has obviously slowed down and AD has had some misfortunes down the stretch but when they click together they can deny the preferred plays by the opposite team (notice how they aren't letting the Grizzlies players go to their sweet spots) and because they can turn good defense into offense that's demoralizing to the opponent.
I don't know about the rest of the Lakers's squad if they think they could reach the championship finals but there's one man I know who's dedicated and determined to reach the finals . That man is...... AUSTIN REAVES.
@@Ometecuhtli Even though he had a great game, Van Gundy is right. Hachimura is just shooting 29% from 3 with the Lakers this season. He hit them in this game, but if you have a choice between letting DLo (41% from 3), Austin Reaves (39% from 3), LeBron (33% from 3), or Rui Hachimura (29% from 3) open for 3, who would you rather let shoot the ball? There's no nonsense spewing out of Jeff Van Gundy's mouth there. The right gameplan just didn't work out because Rui stepped up. That's just how basketball is.
@@Kreze202 True but Rui more recently has been shooting the ball very well and his mechanics have improved which kinda throws his numbers out. There's more arc on his shot, which used to be super flat. This a bad time to say it tho because he had already hit 4 out of 5 and it's crunch time where they can't afford any open 3s lol. It's unrealistic to expect 5-6 again but if he's a threat from 3, he might as well be a superstar because the middy is there and he can take anyone off the dribble and finish lol
the best feeling in the world for role players is when everyone trust you to get it and all stand by behind you to get your work. Austin reeves clearly get the license from everyone and boy he deliver it almost every damn time.
Play a lot like a Bird, so intelligent on the court. Be watching him since he was a hometown boy in the 7th grade, he is a one of a kind. Watched him and Malik Monk go head to head in tournament games Austin always prevailed. Monk is a good kid to. Love them boys.
If you can make it far on the Lakers main roster as a new guy, you can make it anywhere in the nba successfully. Rookies that survive the Lakers pressure end up bieng very polished players very valuable.
People always create these narratives in their head that Bron has to dominate the ball so much that he doesn't allow others to be great, even though that's BS, we see it on display again for the millionth time. That's what happens when you can TRUST your teammates and no star does it better than Bron, regardless of the situation
He reminds me of a slightly less athletic ginobilli. He has that beey good isolated ability and high iq. A Manu type guard with bron and AD will keep them fresh
@@Nick_Taylor. james Bond is dramatized version of a SPEC-OP. And an actual counter intelligence operative is more like a real SPEC-OP than the dramatized version. So what?
AR- 15 Has really benefited from playing with Lebron and the rest of the Lakers coaching staff. And hey watch Lebron he is doing a great job with playing through his guys, it gives them confidence and he knows without them it's no way they go any where in the playoffs.
We’ll pay attention, maybe they try but can’t contain him, maybe his teammates are working hard to create space , maybe he’s unselfish and creates opportunities for other teammates, maybe he’s just better, maybe just maybe if u weren’t fat and lady u could of made it out of your fat pick up games in the local park and done something with your life instead of making excuses
Honestly win or lose in this playoff, this will surely be a really great learning experience for reaves, because Playoffs & regular season gameplay is completely different, and he will surely drastically improve during this entire playoff run.

Reaves face at 02:00, face of a killer
@@WCPFISH reminds of the black mamba.
Facts I was like whoa wtf?! 😂🎉
Remarkable accuracy and awareness. Hachimura didn't have to move his hands at all. Straight to him.
I cant believe he's consistently playing at a high level.... The kid is fearless!
I dont think he's a kid
Hes 24, if ur like 28+ hes a kid probably
hes gotta some Kobe in him. the confidence and those passes are all magic and bird!!

@@Parker-- REAVES plz lol
Reeves and Hachimura play so well together. Lakers would be smart to keep these two around for awhile.
Yeah and start both of them together
They need to keep the whole team and grow chemistry… should’ve done when they won the championship..

The best feeling in the NBA is watching Stars being born. Great play Reeves!
He’s the face of the lakers now. Move over old bum LeBron

For some reasons teams are always ready to give away good assets for the Laker's dogshit. League is rigged lol
@@TrueGuardify you mad for what lmao
A lot of times, it's just the players do not mesh well with the current dynamic of the team.
U mean like luol deng? Nick young?kwame brown,steve nash?! Lakers getting denied the deal for cp3?!.lol Yeah sure buddy
They should've never acquired Westbrick to begin with.
this guy is a hidden gem
He’s not gona be hidden very much longer
but the hidden gem is now showing up😊
Reaves deserves a max contract.

@@Hec2023 Okay, easy now, you are getting a little carried away. Reeves is my dude, but Booker is on a different level
That Behind the back pass by Austin to Hachi🤌
Everyone switched off
To do that in a playoff game that's 2 points with 4 minutes left? Cannon balls.
You Italian?
So happy for that kid. He has looked rock solid since he stepped into the summer league games a couple years ago, and been improving ever since. So fundamentally sound and not afraid of the moment.
That Pass Is Crazy From Reaves How He Knew Rui Was Standing there 💪👏💪💯
That chemistry getting better and better
That was a straight up dime.
Fucking nasty pass! Literally right on the money
He is Lebron student after all
Damn that pass was sweet
This team has potential 🔥
Ehh, they are alright but will get bounced second round to the warriors🤷♂️ I could end up being wrong tho guess we’ll find out
Warriors?😃
Lakers will Crush the warriors in second round if warriors make it , not looking good so far.😁
@@onehunnit3234 yeah ok..

BANG!
Bang! Mama there goes that man!
Austin Reaves is Bang for your buck player for Lakers haha! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

i love that bron is not taking all the carrying cause his team can score now and not just depend on him anymore, I'll be happy if they win this chip this season bro. They work their ass up to the standings and to make the playoffs
Reaves was on fire..gotta respect AD and Bron for giving him the moment as he is slaying it at the big stage
Smart player who takes a lot of high % shots.....52% shooting this season, 50% for career.
Agreed his Basketball IQ is elite
Highly athletic player with unbelievable athletic skills , hops, speed and agility that happens to be intelligent
This kid's a diamond in the rough, but a diamond nonetheless. His game's gonna get polished even further as the years go by. Let's go, Lakers!
The Most SATISFYING Game Of The Year [ so far ] .
It's great that Reeves and Rui have great chemistry. 2 guys that fit the team really well.
Reaves demanding the ball after rebound in the clutch situation 🔥
That takes balls when LeBron is the other guy.
“Rui Awakening” Love it!
And Austin Powers
Both quality! Mark Jackson with the🔥🔥
0:57 Bron was like 'Let him cook'
Man this kid has me excited about the NBA for the first time in nearly 20 years. And excited for the Lakers for the first time EVER. Get it AR
There is great basketball being played all around honestly it comes across sus
Not even a Lakers fan but for real? Not even when the Lakers were winning championships in the last twenty years were you excited? 😮
@@mattschatz4864 I think he is too much lol but yes I'd never been so excited after 09-11 Lakers

Reeves said “I’m here ,give me the ball and everyone out my way “.Love it,this young fella is for real.
A. Reeves reads the game very clearly that 's why he can contribute a lot to the Lakers.
You know you made it when mark jackson give you your own catchphrase "This just in, Austin Powers"
Van Gundy: "I'm ok with Hachimura being the shooter"
Nails the the three on cue and goes off for 29.
Man that comment aged well.
he's known for being a little too stubborn when he had his coaching job, if Hachimura can hit his shot consistently, Lakers can win the conference

the man entered the zone in that 4th quarter its beautiful basketball. More excited about this year's playoffs than any other year tbh
Kobe would have loved this dude he got that killer instinct 🐍
0:15 that no look dish reminds me of Jason Williams, aka "White Chocolate" 🔥
00:26 - The behind-the-back pass to Hachimura was remarkably accurate. Right to his hands.
1:14 God damn, my guy is hungry. We need more people like him in the NBA who don't take anything for granted.
It's enough to worry about LBJ and Davis, but when Reeves is proving to be a ice cold killer, its gonna be a long night. LOVE Playoff basketball
His 2nd year and made it to the playoffs. PAY THIS MAN. That guy loves the game of basketball. Def my favorite player on the team.
Imagine if this was the team they had at the start of the season
60 plus wins, 1 seed, prohibitive favorite to win the whole damn thing.
Doesnt matter

I like this comeback story more. Makes it all the better.

He's even leaving the commentators speechless. Feels like he never gets enough credit, he's been doing things like this all season.
nah this really crazy. they really gave Reaves the ball and got out the way and let him cook like he was MJ or something
He's going to be a legit starter for years. He might even make an all-star team one day. He's got a good point guard feel to the game.
Send the grizzly home in the first round 😂
the best feeling in the world for role players is when everyone trust you to get it and all stand by behind you to get your work. Austin reeves clearly get the license from everyone and boy he deliver it almost every damn time.

Bro I'm a big big Kobe fan and this hit me hard. Idk what it is but he remind me of Kobe it's his confidence I think and he do not t complain
the Lakers trust this guys guts, even Bron and DLo giving the ball to him
The one-leg sleeve added shooting and passing prowess to a whole nother level.. austin reeves w/ the sleevs made grizzlies prostrate
Biggest chip on his shoulder from being Undrafted, and one of my new fav players
Really love the way Lebron let him the ball to cook, that’s what we call Leadership.

Can't wait for undisputed Shannon might bring out the goat mask 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why goat mask when the Lakers are stacked and can probably go deep without James.
@diego chavez , u don't understand he bring out the goat mask when LeBron have a good game
Any opporunity to be a hatin mf. They seize it
@diego chavez I doubt that
Simply a pass that only Austin "Tha Mirage" can do it
That behind the back pass was cold !! Who that ? He’s him !! 😂
I couldn't believe how Austin Reeves took over in crunch time.And Hashimora also
😲 wow that pass👏👏👏💪

man what an animal, saying "He's Him" when LeBron is in their team just shows how confident this Reaves is
Steve Nash + Jerry West = Austin Reeves. AR is onward to greatness.
And he said "I'm that guy" 😂🏀
So smooth and good what a killer
Hachimura had a big game too. He is the game changer
A man of focus, of sheer will.....

He reminds me of a slightly less athletic ginobilli. He has that beey good isolated ability and high iq. A Manu type guard with bron and AD will keep them fresh
I used to be hockey fan but my gosh I just felt in love with basketball is so much fun to watch I can't belive it took me this long to realize

haha heard that in their locker room
lmfaoooo Lebron said FUCK Russ. I like this white kid. I ain't never see Lebron look so comfy letting someone else handle the rock!!!
He got the respect back from Nagasaki!
It’s difficult to stop a player with supreme confidence 💯
Can’t wait for Flight to say AR carried the lakers along with a 10 day contract player/ Rui. 😂
Brooks - self proclaimed defense specialist had 0 blocks 0 steals and the man he was guarding had 21 points 50% shooting!
Wow AR 😮😮👍 Go Lakers!!!!💛💜💛💜
the way he can absorb the contact and still have a good balance and composure to shoot the ball is superstar level tbf
Galing nmn ni Reaves 👏 😍
"I'M HIM!" 😂😂😂
also.. D. Russell is playing so good off the ball. Unselfish.
This team looks good.
I think the Lakers should let the Reeves run the point at the end of the game, let him run pick and run pick and roll with AD and bron off ball
Reeves is a Lakers legend in the making...
AR- 15 Has really benefited from playing with Lebron and the rest of the Lakers coaching staff. And hey watch Lebron he is doing a great job with playing through his guys, it gives them confidence and he knows without them it's no way they go any where in the playoffs.
It`s nice for all basketball fans to see this kinda player, just coming out of nowhere, with some serious skills and respect for the game.
For those paying attention: the new nba rule is nobody is allowed to actually play defense against Reeves
Maybe watch basketball and understand that he knows what hes doing
For those paying attention: Reeves has made it. He’s got his first 13 haters 😂.
We’ll pay attention, maybe they try but can’t contain him, maybe his teammates are working hard to create space , maybe he’s unselfish and creates opportunities for other teammates, maybe he’s just better, maybe just maybe if u weren’t fat and lady u could of made it out of your fat pick up games in the local park and done something with your life instead of making excuses
Lookin like Old School Hoosiers with smooth game play, Reaves is awesome.
Good job Reaves 👍
He reminds me bit of Steve nash. The way he probes and never rushes truly is amazing for his age.
1:41 if you tell me that's not an alien i might be crazy
Honestly win or lose in this playoff, this will surely be a really great learning experience for reaves, because Playoffs & regular season gameplay is completely different, and he will surely drastically improve during this entire playoff run.
