[Highlight] Austin Reaves whispers ‘I love you’ to the basketball after hitting the game-tying basket off his intentional missed free throw.
Luka and reaves are two cold blooded mfs in the clutch, I’ll give them that
The Snowtime Lakers
Exciting whites.
With Kennard now they can have a full lineup of it. It’s beautiful.
They need Brook Lopez.
Is Brook Lopez white?
nobody knows, but it’s provocative.
This guy gets it
I have no idea if hes black but he sure as hell cannot say the n word
He’s probably Mexican. His name is Lopez
Momma Lopez could be black idk
Yes. He was drafted by the Whites out of college. I think he was like the 9th overall pick. Same year Blacks picked up Kanye West, iirc.
Afro-Cuban father and white mother
I’m taking spotwhites over street lights any day
Yeah they really are clutch haha. It’s pretty wild
I wonder how Lakers GM and Front office will manage the money and cap space they will get and saved when Lebron retires or leave.
They will build around Luka and AR.
AR on a minimum but coincidentally a 40 million dollar a year sponsorship deal.
I think it’s okay to do that now
Kawhi had a no show job 🤷🏻♂️
Look I can spare two, maybe three no show jobs!
has this been done in LA before?
The dodgers do it by the rulebook with Shohei
They defer most of their big name current contracts but they have to put the money in an escrow account as time goes on
We can outdo the Clippers by actually having Austin plant a few trees on IG~
Is this sponsorship deal somehow involved with aspiring to make the world a greener tree filled place?
Have him plant trees
I thinks it’s clear. Mark Walter’s knows Austin’s value isn’t as an nba player, so AR will get an MLE level deal. AR’s actual value is as the Dodger’s mascot, and for a two time running World Series champ, the mascot should probably be paid around 40-50 million a year. Austin shows up to cheer for the Dodgers, or maybe he doesn’t, and it is all good.
They will have their pick of the litter in free agency, bet theyll go with another superstar over depth.
Na their superstars are Luka and Reaves, they do need a reliable center
they do need a reliable center
Every single day I read this I resent the Zubac trade more and more. Spent 7 years looking for a guy we had on our roster and gave away for nothing
I bitch about Magic because of that trade all the time.
We’re under new management buddy
They’ll resign Lebron to a cheaper deal after they get a player or 2
I really think he might just retire
every single reply is a joke but the truth is that reaves said he doesn’t want to mess the situation up by getting a max even though he honestly probably deserves it. His max is 5⁄240 so 45 a year ish. My guess is that he is going to be 30-35 a year. That is still generational wealth, he gets to play in LA where he loves it, with Luka who is his friend and hes still taking a meaningful discount in line with what hes said. and honestly i wouldnt be surprised or upset if it was 35-40
When has he ever said that? He declined their offer already so he can get more later lol

Another white man taking money from the black community.
When will this end!!
Literally doing it for the love of the game
I wish I was that ball
Mistah…
you’ll get there
[removed]
Bigot???
lol forreal
they’re karma dumping. I’m not sure why people do that on reddit
somebody is a lonely hater tonight 🤣
Man, get a life
Somewhere Metta World Peace is smiling ear to ear
Some people get to do what they love the most…..and its so beautiful to watch and at the same time makes you feel so ruminative about the things you have done wrong in life to not be at that position.
It’s never too late to chase your dreams, brother
Yeah but what if you don’t love anything
Then you haven’t met the version of yourself who does yet.
I’ve been there. Not knowing what’s next means you’ve outgrown your last answer (you’ve leveled up). That’s exactly where growth starts.
Dad?
Brother just slobmaxxing but LePhuckU3 hits you with an indomitable human spirit motivation.
I love you bro
Yep I like I wish I was in tune with myself when I was younger. I literally had no direction.
I blame your parents
Nah my parents did great by me. It’s one of the things like some ppl said here, I had no passions or I discovered them later on (and I didn’t follow the ones I had earlier)
That’s great I’m glad, sorry I was just poking fun lol
That’s a man who’s in love with his craft. It’s hard not to envy someone in that position, but also important to realize the sacrifices one makes to reach this level are inconceivable for most people.
I love him
Get you a man who looks at you like Austin Reaves looks at this basketball
Aspire to be the basketball that Austin Reaves looks at in this way
looks at his ball
Ball: “I love you too”
Happy Cake Day, Cucumber
Hardwood: you complete me
Net: shoot inside of me
WILLLLLLSON!!!
The magnets in the ball are toggled by that phrase
I want the After Dark version. I demand the Director’s Cut.
Send da video
Dear basketball
is there an anime where there’s a talking basketball who falls in love with a player and they uh, achieve their dreams and shit?
Probably yaoi
Wilsonnnnnnn!!!!
Absolute fucking cinema
“I love you too” - the basketball having going in and getting the Lakers to OT
In fact, I was the baddest dribbler in the whole world (Then one day, his mother bought him a basketball) And I love that basketball I took that basketball everywhere I went You know what that basketball was like a basketball to me
Come on, you cheerleaders Basketball Jones I got a basketball Jones (happily) I got a basketball Jones oh baby oh
Just in, Austin Reaves new cast for Castaway 2.0 with a new Wilson
Someone is going to offer him a max contract in the offseason aren’t they?
Shhhhhhhhhh says loudly so other teams can hear HES UNATHETIC AND BAD AT DEFENSE. /s
Reminded me when luka gave the bird to the ring after a missed shot. Lmao.
basketball: “I love you too bb”
Osora Tsubasa “Ball is my friend”
Austin Reaves “Ball is my friend”
Careful Austin, we don’t know what a Jealous Luka will do
Redditors said he was only worth a 40m contract🤣
I hate that they cut that shit off in the live feed
You clipped it short. You ended right as he started seeing you.
Wow. What an icon!
Quirked up, and things of that nature.
How can you not be romantic about basketball?”
I LOVE Y–
Me too Austin. Me too.
WILSONNNNNNNNNNN
Now find the video of Aaron Gordon whispering ‘I hate you’ to the ball after missing the free throw and allowing Marcus Smart to steal it from him in the last minute of regulation.
Reeves’s gonna take that ball home and do some “Cast away” sh*t with that ball..!
Basketball replied back “I know”
if JT did this he would getting roasted til next season
Someone should make a movie about this, only to respect NBA copyrights we replace the basketball with a volleyball and film it on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere ocean. We can cast Tom Hanks to play the role of Austin.
A Tom Hanks moment for AR. LOL
Hanamichi Sakuragi vs Sannoh moment be like
i want someone to look at me the way reeves is looking at this ball.
Cringe
Probably the only likable player on the entire Lakers roster.
Keep telling myself must hate lakers. Can they trade this guy?
Luka is cool
So corny man
Don’t act like you’ve never picked up the most important tool in your profession and declared your love for it before
i doubt he has a job
hey man, he just put my fries in the bag, forgot my ketchup tho
