what a throwback! never heard of this kid. but then again I stopped watching NBA in the early 90s. the new Pistol Pete! we need more basketball like this.
Today's players can't guard anybody 🤣 They can't guard slow pudgy players like Doncic and Jokic...they can't even guard nobody's like Austin Reaves. Just imagine what Shaq, Jordan, Kobe, Dominique, Iverson, Wilt, Bird, Barkley, Malone, Wilt, Hakeem, Kareem, Magic, T-Mac, Carmelo, Kemp, Grant Hill, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Iceman Gervin, Elgin Baylor, Reggie Miller, etc would do to the weak defense of today’s era. They would dominate today's players because of the rules and the lack of emphasis on defense

@@FreedomFighter2112 Bird played in the "iron era" and was considered as Jokic and Doncic, very skilled and smart with the ball, but slow and not so much athletic. Yet he completely owned and dominated the league made by every name on your list. So Doncic and Jokic would have shined too at that time, maybe less, but still shining
Switching hands during jumpshot is the thing that impressed me most. Can't remember any other player who would do a mid range left handed jumpshot because his right hand side is contested
Has uncanny ability to move his body around his handling of the ball while accelerating rapidly/changing directions. He flows like water, defying expectations. 😮

Dude has talent! He plays with his heart and you can tell he had fun doing it! Hope to see him stay with the Lakers for many years and get a few rings on his fingers doing it!!!

@@ryancraig8757 I sure hope so I am a cali native so naturally I'm a lakers fan but I would follow him as a fan regardless if he swapped teams probably better said that way.
@@LeeCampbell6581 prime white chocolate is the nastiest showman to ever play the game, dude had the kind of exciting plays that make fans out of people who don’t watch sports at all
He is much flashier than Stockton and a much better scorer but not as good a passer. You don’t have to compare him to Stockton just brcause they’re both white
I just love his whole game... skills, attitude, moxie/chutzpah... and zero BS. None of the latent adolescent we get with some of these guys who, were it not for basketball would be in some institution or other. I believe him to be the real deal. Hope he stays healthy. :)
AR is very skillful and he's such a kool guy...... No Tattoos that I can see< He's very respectful in the game at the same time learning a whole lot from LBJ ❤️
@@tedfordhyde Detroit was going to draft him, very late though. I don't know what the player's rights are on this, but he had it conveyed to them that he wasn't interested.
This guy isn't traveling! Nearly every highlight reel in the last 15 years leans heavy on traveling or the new rules of "gather step" 🤮 etc. This is skill on another level.
@user-ll5si8uh4r bro thinking like that can be toxic. Plenty of white players in the NBA getting high praise. Like Jocic, Luka, Porzingis, Sabonis, and Booker just to name a few. Reaves went under the radar, I think because he was undrafted so expectations were low. But he is showing people what he's made of and I think people are starting to notice.
Best thing about AR is his confidence, he has no fear at all in the big moments. First playoff series and hes shouting "im him" after hitting clutch buckets.
The lakers should give Reaves an assignment that he should be practicing his 3 point shooting. They need more shooters and he should be a consistent one.
I will show this highlights to my future grandkids and tell them that Austin Reeves was a Michael Jordan on this era and they would definitely believe that😁
My man out here a modern day Byrd with more athletism. The league truthfullly needs more of this. This era proves its more fast paced and athletic and Reeves just helping elevate it more with ball handles and wow factor.
He could probably be a fighter pilot the dude has amazing situational awareness. In the context of fighter pilots and aviation, situational awareness involves the ability to quickly comprehend and process information about the environment to make effective decisions and find the opening for the shot.
How does nobody else get this??? He's so entertaining, *he's got his own bench cheering him like teenagers!!* To inject this much fun into the game.... *"Wow."*
AR is such a fun guy to watch play. I was just watching the game the other night and my wife, who rarely watches sports with me, says "who let the nerd play?" and I couldn't stop laughing 🤣🤣
He's exciting to watch so yes he should be an All-Star. That's why Kobe started in the All-Star game in his 2nd year and he didn't even start on his own team at the time, The Lakers.
I like how the NBA is starting to get to this stage of post-fundamentals where players like Reaves and Jokic are taking advantage of the highly formulaic play in the league by breaking the norm in a way that no one is prepared to stop
Austin Reaves! A very talented player that I could see dominating with the right attitudes and push around him. Is he an all-star? I wouldn’t ever doubt it in this life. I see it! C’mon Austin; you got it!!!
Dude's just one of those guys who knows where everyone is on the court... not insanely quick. Sometimes looks like he moves through water. And the slowness is what catches people off guard. But still also has like insane jedi skills and eyes in the back of his head
Will austin reaves ever be an all star ?
nope
actually maybe
Someday he will💯
@@wagwan6ix-topic726 i believe 🙏🙏🙏
yes
Every time AR has a fresh haircut, he goes off for a few games hahahha
fr tho
BOI just needs daily haircuts.
this is true, he got his beard shave before todays game and drop a triple double 😂
@@highsensefn1449 does he have more body hair for the next game?
Spider man playing basketball like this. Makes sense.
Lebron's trust in AR has enhanced his confidence and game..
Those two seem to have a good vibe
Le Balco " I need more help"😂
Lefraud gonna trade him watch
They are better without LaBronda and his fake "ankle injury".
you barely see Lebron in any of these clips. obviously he doesn't play like this as much when he plays with him

He's just soooo good 🥺🥺🥺
I’m like that I like this guy so much🎉
Fun fact: Austin reaves is just Peter Parker in our multiverse that pursued basketball ⛹🏻instead of criminal after that day in the gym 🤾🏻♂️
Reminds me of some of the 70's players. Like a Pistol Pete. AR see's the floor well.
Right
Plays like a faster Bird without the deadly shot.

Austin Reaves, the Eminem of NBA
YEP YOU DID IT IN ITS FACTS
He actually reminds me of Jason Williams or Pistol Pete, not quite as flashy, but he has the potential to get there.
more like Pistol since he scores more than he passes.@@shawnvogt888

Austin played one on one to older brother growing . His is now playing Europe . That's how he got his one on one moves .
Saucetin' Reaves
Reaves is so underrated. I really think AR can be the 3rd star for the Lakers. He has been getting better every season.

The turn, the Fake, The Shot, THE SCORE!!
That should be on a t-shirt.
Reminds me of the ball we played as teens. Makes me want to watch some games again
Everyone who's not a Lakers fan watches this dude wishes he was on their home team. Lets keep watching to see how far he goes. wow.
Man we laker fans are blessed to have this special talent
That’s A LOT of highlights!!!
you can tell this dude put HOURS in on the ol driveway hoop every night
He’s insane, and looks like he just the assistant chemistry teacher at your local high school.
The lakers should give Reaves an assignment that he should be practicing his 3 point shooting. They need more shooters and he should be a consistent one.
Wow! I want to watch more players like this!!! 🔥
I see that Reaves has been watching some old Pistol Pete footage! That boy AR15 is cold!!!
He travelled @ 00:29 nice call 😂😂😂
I love the title of this video😂😂😂

5:55 THE FAKE THE TURN THE SHOT THE SCORE
shit hard asf it make me cry
I dub him “ Magic Bird” going forward. Good stuff and a bright future
His skills are one thing, but the court awareness is off the charts.
To see his teammates on the bench freaking out, cheering his moves, his shots, his ballhandliing skills is a joy to see!
How does nobody else get this??? He's so entertaining, *he's got his own bench cheering him like teenagers!!* To inject this much fun into the game.... *"Wow."*
Can't make such a video without his long distance shots with time expiring.
