[NBA] Slow-mo replay of Austin Reaves hitting the game-tying basket off his intentionally missed free throw, with Ted Lasso cheering in the background.
Beautiful
Great basketball in slow motion looks like art
It’s similar to how I love the old slow motion nfl films videos
Especially old rough stock footage of snow games!
I love how Marcus Smart went up to get rebound just in case, so when Reaves makes it, all you see is “Smart”.
Hang it in the louvre
I might get stolen.
Shit I might steal it
I’ve hung it in my loo.
Max player.
Credit to Ayton too. They put him on the single side against Jokic. His job was to shove Jokic under the rim so AR could get the rebound. And he did it to perfection. The play is screwed if Jokic can hold position and get a hand on the ball.
Barbecue Sauce
I love how Reeves face after he scores always looks like he is thinking, “That worked???” Even when a lot of his plays are now the norm.
As a natural born Laker hater who can’t stand AR it really pains me to say that this guy is the real deal.
What is there even to hate about Austin Reaves lol?
He’s an undrafted, nice guy, who plays hard and is fun to watch.
I’m a Suns fan. That yellow does weird shit to me.
Green Lantern-type shit.
Fair.
Tbf we’ve been bitching about the banana yellow for years, nike fucked the jerseys up smh we need the gold back.
He’s only undrafted because he didn’t want to play for the Pistons. Imagine that what if though.
I think that story is blown out of proportion.
It wasn’t that he refused to play for the Pistons. It was that the Pistons weren’t guaranteeing him a roster spot and only offered a two-way contract.
Sure, the Pistons might have had some interest, but they ended up drafting Isaiah Livers and gave him a guaranteed contract. If they really wanted AR, they would have drafted him and given him the guaranteed contract he asked for.
Nah, imagine if the Spurs lured him away from the Lakers. I genuinely thought they were gonna try
He doesn’t look like people’s favorite players
Please stop calling this guy undrafted like it’s a positive thing. He’s a diva who threw a fit so he could be picked up by the Lakers.
edit: a lot of salty Lakers knob slobbers can’t handle facts downvoting with no response. You shit all over Ace Bailey and others for doing the same thing, but somehow Reaves is exempt because he’s a classy hard worker that went undrafted.
He didnt throw a fit he just didnt sign a 2 way contract when he had better backup options
So why does this subreddit love to say he’s undrafted like he was some hidden gem that had no shot in the NBA? (hint: it’s in my first comment)
Because he was undrafted? You’re the one adding connotations to it, everyone else just says it how it is
But r/nba said he’s overrated?!?? And that Kobe was the 20th best player ever???!!? And that Caruso was overhyped as a meaningful role player?!!?!
I’ve been one of those people calling him overrated but the more I watch him the more I begrudgingly have to give him his respect.
And that Kobe was the 20th best player ever???!!
I dont think I’ve ever seen anyone rate him lower than like 12th or 15th at the absolute lowest… certainly not enough to pretend like it’s the general consensus on this subreddit. But sure, go off dude.
Even after a big win against a team that’s had our number for years, we will find a way to whine
Poor Lakers fans. Truly the most persecuted group. Won’t anybody think of them?? 😢
Go worry about the nba draft bud
I didn’t like him at first either. I thought he was a gimmicky player. Then I found out he was really good at golf (he has a youtube golf channel) and that changed my opinion of him. He’s one of those guys who has superhuman hand-eye coordination and is just naturally good at things. He didn’t have NBA strength when he entered the league but now that he does, he seems to be able to do things that look improbable a lot more consistently. He’s become legit one of my favorite players to watch.
Who put that action movie ass sound track on this clip ? 😭
I dunno man this kinda works really well
I’ll only ever accept Midwest emo songs & brain stew by Green Day as the soundtrack to white boys hooping
I just know our algorithms are aligned lol
Better than “Oh No” and “Million Dollar Baby” like most clips on the internet.
I’ve never heard of these songs
A man of great taste
With Jason Sudeikis in the background of it, maybe this is just a scene from Ted Lasso
I really hope season 4 of Ted lasso doesn’t ruin it.
I’m so confused why there even is an additional season. They finished the show.
Money. The answer is always money.
The last season was just (enjoyable) fan service. Season 4 will likely be that times 5
Resolving character arcs isn’t fan service.
You think the players doing a performance of “So Long, Farewell” from The Sound of Music isn’t fan service? Just one example but the one that most immediately comes to mind lol
Which arcs are still pending?
Did Sam’s restaurant incorporate avocados into their Nigerian cuisine?
And if so, did Zava land the contract?
It’s focused on the women’s team
too late
Did you watch season 3? Shit is beyond ruined and I really thought it was a charming show up until that point.
It was definitely the worst season but ruined is strong.
After they turned my boy cartoonishly evil, i was out.
Season 3 was the weakest season but still had some really memorable moments. I think it suffers in comparison to the first two seasons which were some of my favorite television I’ve ever watched..
The “stealing a loaf of meth” scene was one of my favorites in the show.
I can’t seen how it would, considering season 3 already did.
ngl I thought this clip was going to have a voiceover of Ted Lasso being motivational. Was totally caught off guard LOL.
intentionally missing the ft and still finishing the tip is such a high iq play and ted lasso in the background makes it feel like a scripted sports movie 😭
Why are all your comments basically just summarizing and/or repeating the title of the post in different words? Are you a bot?
It totally is. New account immediately posting engagement-farming questions in different sports subs nearly every day, always with the same format.
Pure, ethical bucket.
Is missing a free throw on purpose considered “ethical basketball?” It’s smart, but is it honest and fair?
A freethrow is a free shot missing it gives everyone else a chance that’s as ethical as it gets.
Yes it is because what can you do when the other team wants to foul up 3. You gotta make them pay for it and it worked for them.
but is it honest and fair?
Was something stopping the Nuggets from grabbing the rebound?
Austin “Unethical” Reaves was
Honest and fair 😂what are you talking about
you’re actually 100% right. i got no problem and think its a great play, but its not ethical basketball to miss a shot on purpose lol
Barbecue sauce
is this an AD for an apple tv show?
No he plays for the wizards
Kobe would be happy
Lol the crowd
I thought the person to the furthest left in beige was a lady that was bored to be at the game. Pretty cool to see them all nail biting, then after he scores it, the camera pans back to him with them all celebrating. Absolute cinema!
Saucetin Reaves
BBQ Saucetin Reaves.
The ‘on-sides kick’ of basketball.
I love that Marcus was there, ready, just in case he missed.
Doesnt happen often, but when it does its magic. I remember Jaylen Brown doing this a few years back
Jason Sudeikis loving it in the background
Yes I also read the title
Is that Jason Statham in the crowd
I was thinking Jeff Pearlman
That boy is nice
That was a helluva last 2 minutes in that game!
Hes gonna be a laker for life
Ted Lasso pointing at HIM
Not the main action but smart double tapping the backboard was sick too.
This was the most insane intentional miss into own rebound into game tying FG since Luka vs Knicks.
BELIEVE
Did he get asked if he tried to miss it to one side for the angle bounce or was that just some good luck because only he saw the angle on that
Yes, JJ told Luka to tell him to him to miss it to the single side (the side without a defender on the top block.) You see Luka walk over to JJ after the first FT then walk up to AR at the FT line and tell him this.
Smart apparently also told him to just take one dribble and then quickly throw it so that DEN couldn’t time his cadence.
Damn. That’s amazing execution too. Also just absurd accuracy to get that just right.
Also watched the replay and he did right by not jumping the line until it hit the rim.
And Jesus soft ass lakers fans are downvoting my question I guess why so sensitive
my guy, you have all of two downvotes and immediately cry about Lakers fans without knowing who even downvoted you lol
I’m probably not doing myself any favors
Why would I as a Lakers fan get offended at your question? What a weird assumption to make.
If it’s Lakers fans downvoting you for no reason, it’d be for your flair and not your question which given the history between the fanbases is probably to be expected anyway.
It seems like the end of the game was just Jones getting beat over and over again
Best game so far this year. Also the only OT for lakers
Cold as ice.
Pay him 💰
That boy is HIM
Jones forgot to box the shooter out. Woopsie daisie!
Nah he tried, but the ball went left (as intended) and AR was already moving left so it would have been difficult to box him out.
He brought his own Nachos from home!
And people said that was unplanned. He choreographed it to perfection.
How was it unplanned when he clearly intentionally missed?
Farmer/Golfer’s tan is insane for a millionaire living in LA
Jones was stupid far out of position
Can we have a sped up version too?
Where tf Tyus going lol
It bothers me alot that my guys were incompetent not to see it but that play could have gone so wrong man
People don’t realize that a floater from that angle is probably one of the toughest shots in basketball, what a clutch play by AUS-HIM!!
Gangster
I believe that Austin Reeves is the only real person in this universe. He is playing NBA 2K50, and we are all part of his simulation.
the goat!
He’s got that elite LA Fitness game
Got that DAWG in him
Reminds me of the “NBA BIG” commercials
De’Aaron Fox did it better!!! 🦊🔥
this music is cringe AF
Hol up, how did I miss LeBron is bald again. It took the slo mo for me to know.
holy shit a 41 year old man who was balding since age 25 is bald?!!
I can’t believe we got boomed by Matt Watson from SuperMega
And most of us non-lakers fans aren’t big on Reaves, but you got to respect the pinpoint positioning of where he put that miss.
And why is that? Do you think he’s a bum?
his movements are so clunky for someone with such a strong handle, bag and iq. i love it
clunky isn’t the word I would use…at worst it’s unorthodox but I think he has a very eye appealing game
I agree. It does look weird sometimes, but it’s often a very smooth kind of weird
To me he moves like a player from the 70’s but with modern pace and speed
If only yall lame fucks cared about what’s going on the world would be a better place. You just found out your government/president are rapists murderers part of elite clubs they sacrificed children molested them ETC ETC and this what yall bitch ass motherfuckers are worried about?! THIS IS WHY THOSE RATS GET AWAY WITH WHAT THEY DO. Yall are nothing but useless pathetic losers that lead meritless lives. Nothing but follow the leaders who bring nothing of value to this world this life. And when you get hit with something like THAT yall sit on your hands like the cowards yall are. But hey THE LAKERS BEAT THE NUGGETS IN OVER TIME RIGHT? Hahahaahahaha mindless rats
