- Meet The NBA's First Ever Industry Plant
This Video:
Austin Reaves has been getting a lot of attention lately, so much attention that people on Twitter are calling him the NBA's first ever industry plant. In this video, I take a look into Reaves's journey to the NBA, the media coverage he's been getting, and more to see if he indeed is the NBA's FIRST 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.
Smh I bet u pull the race card on every video😂😂😂
@@Mad-dog-Mc there's one group of people that pull the race card for literally everything and it ain't me.
@@bixhutch6274 no need to call white people out like that
Not for me, I even think people like Zion is an absolute industry plant
@@bixhutch6274well I didn’t pull the race card I’m sure that could be a reason but it’s ignorant to say that’s the only one. Going based off race is just a ignorant as assuming people are only basing it off race. You can’t just say “it ain’t me” when you brought it up
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.
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
Do you guys just not like seeing white players do well or something? Herro has been better than anyone’s expectations when he got drafted
@@Romanus- he’s way better than people thought he was gonna be
Herro's 4 or 5 (I'm 80% sure he was a 5) star rating at Kentucky disqualifies his industry plant status IMO. I think Manu and Tony are the best examples of plants. At the time, foreign players not named Yao Ming carried a huge stigma about their games translating to NBA success.
@@kaleosin7871 Yeah, imagine being a foreigner and not being Yao, they must've been plants, (yao came in after manu and tony ).
Like before them, that dude Tim Duncan, obvious plant, Toni Kukoc too, Hakeem, Stojakovic, Petrovic, Dirk, Nash, Mutombo, Gasol...
na tyler was cold in HS
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.
One of the best young guys at drawing contact I’ve seen. Super helpful when he can slow the game down for us.
@@rakimhinds6388 not only drawing the contact BUT FOLLOWING THROUGH IT HIS LAYUP PACKAGE IS CRAZY
@Truth Seeker _“if you watch him he has a very uncanny way of creating space and is aware of defenders”_
*In terms of creating space* he’s got a little Steve Nash in him. Nash was masterful at creating space in traffic. On the perimeter, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and to a lesser extent JJ Redick were great at using screens and dribble pull-ups to get their shots off. To be fair, they were doing it when teams actually prioritized defensive play and physicality, and when guys like Bruce Bowen and Thabo Sefolosha were patrolling the perimeter.
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
Sounds like something I'd do on 2K
Definitely a case of betting on him self. And it's going to pay off this summer.
He asked all other teams for a guaranteed contract apart from the Lakers' smart move.
Yeah he had a genius plan to succeed in the NBA
The Detroit Pistons were the only team that was still seeking to draft Austin Reaves on the day of the draft. While Reaves had a preference for the Los Angeles Lakers, the main reason he declined to be drafted by the Pistons was they only offered him a two-way contract.
Rob Pelinka had personally scouted Austin during the NBA Draft Combine and promised Reaves a 2-way contract, if he declined any NBA team that had not worked him out yet. So all things being equal, Reaves and his agent saw no value in being drafted, since the Pistons' opportunity was the same, except the team was worse, and in a smaller market. 🏀
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.
Smart man not wanting to go to Detroit haha
I call bullshit on that story.
1. If Detroit wants to draft him, they will draft him.
2. If the Lakers told them they'd take him outside of the draft, that's tampering.
3. If the Lakers committed tampering against a player Detroit wanted, Detroit would sound the alarms and at the very least, the Lakers wouldnt get him and probably more negative things would happen to them.
You cant make agreements outside of the draft, you cant tell other teams that want to draft you someone else wants you, you cant decline being picked (you can decline the contract), you cant do basically this entire story.
@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 lol tampering, reaves said he didn’t wanna be in detroit, why would detroit draft a player that doesn’t want to be there, and he made it clear he wanted to sign a two way deal with Lakers
@@pedroramirez0824 You can like it or dislike it but these things are still technically tampering and i doubt they happened the way its said.
It’s not tampering lol. Teams are allowed to have conversations with any prospective pick. Additionally, only first rounders get guaranteed contracts and money, 2nd rounders don’t receive guaranteed contracts. so him telling the pistons that he wouldn’t sign a contract with them if he was selected is well within his right. You just don’t hear about that from most second rounders bc a majority of those guys consider themselves lucky to be on a roster.
The greatest come up story is his skin care routine; bro found the proactive along the way and got unleashed 💀
AR-15 has me dead ever time I hear it 😂😂😂
Lmao facts. Hillbilly Kobe is crazy too, dude has the wildest nicknames
That's actually Inception types of hilarious 😂. Ar 15 has me dead😂
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.
🎯 (Laker market helps too)
This isn’t the 2000’s anymore. 2 of the top 10 players in the league are white
@@Romanus- 2....so still uncommon
Calm down, He still inferior.
@@Travixty 2 is pretty good considering their overall population in the league
We better keep him Lakers better not let him go like the did to AC
Put Tyler herro, Austin Reeves, Alex Caruso on the same team just for the memes
hardest gueros on the court, throw Gordon Hayward onnat 4 the vet leadership.
Yeah yeah add in Hayward for leadership and Lauri Markkanen for size……this meme cow might be going places
Add Luka and Dragic for more fun
Add a bunch a monkies to a science lab and u get no science done
And they will tank multiple seasons.
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.
You can definitely tell he has practiced every fundamental thing over and over and over. It's not the flashiest but he learned what works
I totally agree, I see a lot of Harden from him -- just constantly getting people off balance and going into them.
You can’t play 4 years in college and come from a 2 way contract and be an industry plant.
fr
Why not?
That would be the greatest sport story never told.
Can’t be an industry plant when you providing the receipts of a real baller
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.
Yea the game is full of angry monkeys, refs dont like them. Austins nice so they give him all the calls
Austin Reeves just has that hustle in him and i think especially players just respect that
Austin is just different! He has crazy potential and he works hard.
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
Way better offensive little worst defensively
I picked him up at the end of my fantasy season. Best decision I ever made.
This is a Cool video, Thanks I really enjoyed it!! Mic'2023 😊
Bro's story is like a 2K MyCareer
Except there's no tacky enemy player
That’s pretty damn cool to play for your favorite team.
Now hes starting in the playoffs rn he came a long way fast.
Facts
his ball handling is just amazing and i hope they pay him well.he deserves it
So Happy For Him...
So Happy He's With Lakers...
Hope Lakers Can Go Finals...
But Have To Get Past Nuggets...
Reeves is going to go crazy in the playoffs I promise you
GAME 1 OVER .. YOU WERE CORRECT SIR!
Man I love this game!
lmao, did Shannon just really spell both as boaf?? 😂
Haha yeah that’s his thing
People just can't accept he got that dog in him
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.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support, definitely got more on the way
Does anyone else think he sorta looks like Tom holland when Lebru was trying to describe that one play to him😂😂
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.
I think he’s a hard working young man. He seems to be good at his job. That’s enough to get my respect.
just watched him get buckets with hachimura in gm1 against memphis. man that shit was inrpiring
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.
He might be a plant but he still gotta ball out to be getting those numbers
He’s nice
Nice to see your videos again bro
Trying to get back consistent again, thank you so much for coming through!
@@WillSoTrill anytime
Bruh 7:20 I would have made it 3 hours minimum
You are insane lmfaooo
A little Bird, a little Maravich, a little West?
If he were dark skinned or had the last name Bird, there wouldn’t be any allegations 😂
My goat back at it again
YOU are my goat!
The guy has grit I’m a laker die hard and I love to see him in the purple and gold
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.
Flightreacts been routing for his potential a year before the media saw the result of the potential
Im surprised he ever has any time to actually talk about ball or players in his videos between his Patreon begging and his sponsorship on top of the several ads for a 9 min video
The cameras just weren’t on
Im surprised he actually had a real basketball take instead of an orgasm face about some casual stuff.
i was furious vogel didnt use him more he was always in the right spot and made great reads
I can't believe Lebron made and narrated this video about Austin. He must really feel something for him. 😅
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
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.
If you look at how his agent engineered his joining the lakers, it gets crazier.
What exactly is an industry plant in the context of basketball?
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.
Reaves went I drafted, but then proved him self hardworking kid
The AR-15 nickname is simply amazing lol
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.
Thats because monkeys are more raysiss than anyone else.
That is a WILD title. I had to click. You earned this click regardless of what the rest of this is XD.
We have tooforwon at home is crazy
NBA wants to be tooforwon SO BAD
6:00 225 varick st i use to work around that area they walking in the interview.
He’s a kid from a small town with big talent, not to mention he’s tuff an nails
Facts. Inspirational story
The Celtics were talking about picking him up on the summer league that year
bro keep it up nice vid
Thank you so much fam! Def got more coming!
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.
Kurt Rambis...
32 teams passed on him. So they’re all in on “the plant?”
All 32 NFL teams passed on him fr
He got that new age Larry Bird game
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.
He can play
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.
He reminds me of a basketball version of brady. Hes not crazy athletic but makes good choices so far.
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
Crazy how LA keeps finding these guys.
They would do well not to trade him.
Great video, but the volume is crazy low. You should upload with much higher volume bud.
Thank you! & I’ll share feedback with editor on tjis
@@WillSoTrill No worries, awesome!
Reaves vs Luka gonna be epic
Pretty much open season since everyone else in there prime giving up ! Might as well give trophy to the lakers now
He getting that bag this season lakers better not be cheap like they did Caruso
Awesome video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Pretty hard to get credit where it’s due nowadays
Imagine if the Lakers had both him and Caruso
He should follow Caruso footsteps and come to Chicago 😈
@@WillSoTrill hilarious
He might end up in Chicago bc I don’t think the lakers will be able to pay him and keep the roster together
Hi guys, i'm over here in good ol blighty, so i'm just wondering, What is meant by an "Industry Plant"? What is that exactly?
Music industry term, explained it more towards the end
Whoosh! He has the stuff.
Arkansas boy is killing it
Kinda reminds me of Jerry!! Thank you!! Mic'2023
No comment!! Thank
Well first to be an industry plant there would have to be an independent basketball circuit
Lakeshore forgot about Caruso cuz we got a new lightskin in town
What is an industry plant? Like a textile sage?
Probably
What’s an industry plant?
Can someone define Industry Plant? Thanks.
Last night he score 28 points!
More years to come he will be like the legendary Larry Bird
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.
Exactly. But icl industry plant allegations is some of the funniest shit I’ve heard for BASKETBALL 😭
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.
That’s definitely a reason for sure
AR 15 is an industry plant.
Me: so this the National Botany Association?
Where is the video footage of those superstar calls from refs?
my dream is Caruso back on the Lakers and watch Caruso and Reaves run with BRon and AD
I will NEVER get over how weird Anthony Davis looks like.
He was reminding me of Herman munster sitting there
You sure do got a huge ego considering you have no profile pic
Love that guy!
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💯🏀🔥
Imagine if they called Bubba Wallace a Nascar industry plant.
Wtf even is an industry plant? It’s not like they can’t hire whomever they want. It’s not like they got a back pocket full of better players they’re hoping to put on. 😂 Dude is killing it on the court. 💯
What's an industry plant?
The prophecies of "The White Mamba" are true. Still room to grow.
Calm down great player but he isn’t evene Close to that 🤣. Every team now has 3 player that averages 20 now . He doesn’t even average that . The league so stacked now more eyes on him cuz lakers Been shit show and laker privllage. He’s like Derrick white from Celtics to this lakers team . He could be more
@@gorcsauce696 nice someone that only looks at points per game🤦♂️ bruh has gotten so popular because he became that guy, he stepped his game up he has confidence and he can take over at any time, he’s clutch asf ans isn’t scared to shoot the ball. and being in a big market is the perfect recipe for him so of course he’s gonna be popular
@@kripticlunar8198 there hella guys that do that 🤣. He literally just derrick white for the lakers.
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.
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
He's always been that way, from the early days in Cleveland doing to dumb photos hoots, to all the interview bombs and a Harlem shake in Miami, and now this in LA.
For the most part I think it's? Because. Hes A? Billion. Dollar product and he has to watch what he says and does in everything so hes watching his step. Hes protecting his brand but with Austin that moment you saw was pure because awesomes appear Baller and that's what Bron respects and is attracted to. So loves him as a teammate and that's why you see genuine Bron.
love the video but make your mic louder
Thank you, I may have fixed this in recent videos!
