[Highlight] Austin Reaves draws a foul and throws up a wild shot that somehow goes in
I’m not even saying this as a joke, his game is beginning to resemble Luka’s in a TON of ways. Not that he’s as good, but he’s absorbing his powers like a fucking sponge.
If you’ve been watching LA this year you’ve seen it.
Scoring 20+ in a quarter and being tied at the end of it very luka like lol
Dude had glimpses of it in the past but he’s been consistently torching when relied upon this season. Absolute insane level up
Even in past seasons he balled the fuck out when LeBron and/or AD were out
Rookie season v Nuggets in Denver…still one of my fav performances by him.
Yeah, that triple double in the last game of the season (when we knew Vogel was canned before the game ended).
Also the 45 point game last season against IND with Bron and Luka just watching.
That was just the beginning
He absolutely cooked when the Lakers won in Boston without Lebron and AD last year
nah i deadass see it
he pulled out the delayed euro / pause step nicely today
He’s running out of things to learn from LeBron so he has a new generational superstar to learn from
luka should be the one learning from reaves since reaves is older /s
It’s clear he’s constantly learning from those around him over the last few years even going back to D’lo
It goes back to even Russell Westbrook too. Austin gave a lot of credit to Westbrook numerous times during his rookie year.
You know what they say - you become who you hang around with.
White luka
They’re a better duo than Luka/Kyrie
I’ve watched him limited amounts this year but he used to be less active when the ball stopped on him. Now he’s showing footwork that resembles Luka to draw a foul or get a decent shot up with better consistency. Can’t wait for the Nuggets inevitable match up with the Lakers it’ll probably be the best watch in the playoffs.
I thought Luka was supposed to be attending the birth of his daughter 🤨
yea but he left his son behind
Booker is on the suns tho
He has a lot of sons
Who needs Luka when we have Luka at home?
It’s not his daughter
Learning this bullshit from Luka bro wtf
Austin since Luka came to LA has been progressing like how Sasuke was during the chunin exams when he copied Rock Lee’s taijutsu and speed. And I mean that seriously, he has become more skilled at an astounding rate. He’s always been good, but not drop 40 every night good. That’s pure Luka shit
LeBron finally became washed so the Lakers could unlock a second Luka
This is so unfair. Lakers should trade him for Giannis so there’s no Luka^2 playing for them
I think that would somehow be an insane trade. AR is a perfect fit for the lakers. Blowing up this roster to get Giannis on it seems like a disaster
Lebron:
makes deal for bronny lifetime contract
waives no trade clause
ok’s a trade to Milwaukee for giannis
retires
Shohei and Austin Reaves in the same city?
Say what you want about Reaves baiting fouls, but he genuinely makes a legit attempt to make his shots after the foul for an and-1 instead of jacking up the ball in the general direction of the basket so he gets the shooting foul.
This might be the worst video example you could’ve chosen to make this statement 😭
What? Every player tries to score the and-1 here, it’s explicitly better than a shooting foul.
We must not watch the same game.
Who doesn’t try to score for an And 1?
Just curious how your mind works.
A lot of the times he does not do that
The who foulbaiting stuff is tired anyways, but no need to lie
No he doesn’t he’s the worst foul merchant in the league that plays more than 30 games a year.
Nah, Reaves actually gets banged up a lot. I mean, he baits fouls for sure, but unlike a lot of guys that just fall over because they were touched, Austin actually gets bruised and scratched up a lot of the time. Like tonight, he got a lot of free throws, but that’s because the Raptors were actually mauling the shit out of and jumping into him. He also takes a lot of charges for a guy who’s not known for his defense
Hes def top 3 foul merchants lol, so many to choose from tho league needs to fix the problem. Who is asking for this to continue
Bro stated the most obvious NBA fact and got down voted to hell because the boner this sub has for Reaves. He could become a billionaire instantly if he started selling his cum on reddit
Dang, you got a billi to spend on Reave’s cum ?
That’s one of those plays I just yell, “WHITE BOY” after
Reaves sinking everything right now
AuBronto?
Jokic esque
They call off the basket for jokic though, this shit is always side out for him.
Ironically reaves has also had some wild shots called off too this season (not as often as jokic however)
I really don’t understand how he never gets the and one call. Some of the ones aren’t even thrown up and are regular shooting motions.
Austin Reaves has the dumbest whistle in the NBA
He studied Harden to learn how to get the whistle. Literally, 2 off seasons ago he spent the whole summer learning how he moved and how to make attacking the defender a skill.
That’s some Jokic style bullshit haha
Shouldn’t be a foul but ok
Austin > Toronto!?!?
Not as long as Joe Rogan dwells there
Sigh
Grunt
Triggered
Snowflake
Did they give him the bucket?
Of course they did
wow, ive seen fouls that look way more in-the-act called on the ground instead.
Those players didn’t play for the Lakers
He’s had several 4 point play opportunities this year that were clearly in the act that they called on the floor. Y’all want a conspiracy so bad
So has literally every single player in the NBA but this game he got multiple bullshit calls which seems to always happen when you play the Lakers no matter who you are
Ahh you’re a Toronto fan. Carry on.
Such a savage foul too
exhilarating
He is on Ffiiiiraaaaah
He’s evolving
Is that the damn Warriors theme I hear in the background
Great white luck
Got that same Steph 2016 Jokic 2023 etc breakout season energy where they make ridiculous wtf shots just look inevitable sheeesh
weak ass call
Idk how some yall condone this shit
This is absolute text book getting a guy to bite on the fake and drawing the foul. Like the stuff I was directly taught in the 90s.
Yeah it is. I wish this shit was still on the ground though. You used to have to be in a shooting motion when the foul occurred to get shots.
Condone a made bucket?
Of all the foul baiting he does this is by far the most “ethical” type of baiting…
Teach Ant how to do this
If you think this is type of play is bad for the game, you are cooked. This is the EXACT type of play you want to see if someone is trying to get fouls. Not flopping into players outside the line of contact.
