Gotta be the most infuriating backcourt to play against because they’re so good 😂

So crafty, both are foul baiting experts, and their movement makes no sense at times but they shake defenders.

Other than skin color how. I know it is a joke that the Reddit sub are excessively in love with, but both of their games are based on being highly skilled players. That doesn’t exactly say gym rat or lunchbox types of guys. Especially Luka.

Only because that’s not what he’s trying to be at this point in the season, or at any point. Only thing he’s playing for now is love of the game and to try to win another championship. Promise you in the playoffs he’ll be the first for second best performer, especially on the defensive end.

I seen a post someone saying Reaves could be a top 10 player, to which most replies were stating Reaves would be lucky to be a top 20 and that he “isnt a proven first option” or “wait and see what hes like without Luka or LeBron”.

Like yeah maybe he’s not top 10 but questioning his ability to score as a first option is silly and yeah for a lot of last year some Lakers fans we’re saying he should be coming off the bench.

Being an undrafted/non-lottery player on the Lakers is a double edged sword. Even if you’re good(Reaves/Caruso), you get doubted every step of the way because of the others who also got hype but didn’t pan out(THT/Kuzma).

Austin Reaves is the most divisive player in the NBA. If you’re a Lakers fan he’s having an All NBA season. If you’re a Lakers hater he’s just on a lucky streak, can’t play defense, and will regress soon.

Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman – who combined to win four titles, and play 21 all-star games – are about a hundred miles past that Jazz duo. And, ironically, Sharman later coached West and Goodrich.

If previous seasons and first month records mattered, well, go ahead and do your own research on that. There’s a lot left to be told this season.
