We love you AR, we know you'll be working hard in the off-season, hopefully more minutes and a monster season next year 💜💛
Is it lebron fans that wanted him gon or is it lakers fans ? I’m a Bron and lakers fan but I’m not of them delusional fans that always wanted someone gon when they have bad games.
@@Sportsfan-cm5up Lebron loves Austin Reaves and wants him to be on the court at all times. Lebron trusts Reaves to take over games and have the ball in the clutch moments. It's delusional Lakers fans that criticize every mistake and Darvin Ham holding him back from reaching his potential. Reaves should've been point gaurd not dlo
@@Sportsfan-cm5upi ll speak for myself, i'm a lakers fan since way before lebron, and i never wanted him out
@@hustlerinc6285 I mean he’s 6’5 he’s a good fit for sg but if dlo leave next season Austin should play the 1 and we should get a real sg cuz lakers always use the players at the wrong position. Like tp he’s supposed to be a sg but he’s playing at the 4.
@@Sportsfan-cm5up Agreed. Austin should play PG and lakers should get a SG like Caruso who can shoot 3's and play elite defense. Caruso is a top 5 defender in nba. Reaves finally gets more shots with dlo gone and a bigger opportunity to carry the load which he's fully capable of average 20+. Lakers should also upgrade the PF spot from rui. Lakers need quaility role players not another star
Love this man...Always gives 100%
Thank you Austin
AR has a bright future ahead.
I like what I'm hearing. Attitude is about the team, about winning, about taking his lumps and being professional, about appreciating the greatness of others on his team, about holding himself to higher standards. I'm glad to hear he didn't think he delivered in the first 2 games because he didn't. But he was fine in the next 3. This guy is alright.
Not a Lakers fan at all, but I love this guy. Gives everything during the game. Last year's Playoff's too.
yeah for sure. i'm not a Lakers fan either, but Austin seems like the only one on the team without drama. you can tell during interviews he's very honest and passionate about the game. you can definitely here that passion in his voice.
Austin went out on his shield! Great job Hillbilly!
Austin is a DAWG, he was the only one not afraid to go shot for shot with Murray in the clutch
We needa keep him. You can tell he cares about the team, yall saw how he even yelled at the coaching staff to put him in the game in the 4th?
He's the most overrated Laker. They all cared about this game. He's talented but he can't defend. He let Murray roam free several times to get open shots in the fourth. He needs to work on his 3-point shooting too. He definitely can be upgraded.
Exactly a dog with a hidden agenda
@upfulsoul826 Rui is the most overrated. Austin isn't known for his defense although he did a decent job on murray. Murray And Jokic pick n roll is deadly. Can't blame AR.
Cant defend? Austin has been doing a GREAT job defending murray... do u watch the games?@upfulsoul826
@@eddiepo6924 Nah he wasn't decent defensively in the clutch. Murray was even dunking and doing anything he wants. No one ever hyped up Rui like AR.
Reeves was the clutchest and most aggressive player for the lakers in the last 5 minutes of a elimination playoff game. With LeBron and AD on your team, that's saying something.....
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
It means he jacks up a lot of shots in the 4th but he can’t make them
Reaves needs to put on more muscle, improve his defense, and be more consistent on offense
thank you finally someone said it
his defense wasnt bad this series tho
@@stivkerrr he didn't say he was bad, but he's short of being a quality 2 way player, which his role will need to be to be win. Also, if DLo stays, AR getting better defensively will help those 2 stay on the floor together.
his body still looks like a pickup player, he definitely needs to build
@@TheQuickyouknowSeeing how inconsistent DLO is in the regular season and now for a 2nd time in the postseason the only reason a team should keep him is if they are rebuilding and not expecting to compete for a championship. DLO belongs in the eastern conference. The west is just too stacked for him. Can’t compete well against top 5 teams.
He’ll be a Laker next year for sure
He's on a 4-year deal
very hopeful
GREAT 👍 JOB AR. ! We appreciate You...
Awesome! Standup Guy! Much respect to you bro!
His numbers went up so I consider it a success in year 3. He never should've been taken out if the starting lineup. I cant wait to see his growth.
He not a starter on a championship team right now his iq isn’t up there
Love you AR!! Forever
I'm feeling a little cold right now. Tough loss. However...thinking of how we hung the fabulous In-Season Tournament banner this season eases my pain and gives me much warmth. Thanks NBA for creating some joy in this mostly disappointing season for the Purple and Gold. 😉
In season tournament banner that's a a freaking joke it means absolutely nothing it's a made-up bs nobody knows anything about basketball that's ever played would put any stock into it in season tournament banner
@@Alphasports576 I was being SARCASTIC. 😂
@@Alphasports576 I agree with you 100% also.
AR needs all the PG starter minutes in 24/25. Without another small guard with the same skill package on the floor. it's so clear he's the best we got.
He's not a starter at all for a team like the Lakers.
@@upfulsoul826 I disagree. I think he is. I think he showed he's also a finisher with his clutch shooting and he should it in tonight's game in the playoffs.
He’s great when he’s great. But to have stinkers in the playoffs really makes you wonder if he’s the best we can get
He can’t because he gets tunnel vision too much and doesn’t handle full court pressure from physical quick guards.
Would be great if he could but he can’t.
@@metetman123thank u
austin the best! did all he could
Austin . You’re a starter for one of the best franchises in the entire world. You did great. Not one single person here in LA denies your latent ability. See you next year bud
I’m not a Lakers fan but he seems the only one on the team that isn’t full of drama. Can really hear in his voice how passionate he is for the game.
🤡🤡🤡 Overhyped Hes NOT HIM 😂
Austin... reflect, refresh, and renew... you need more muscle mass and more lab work. You are a keeper.
He has the type of body that it ain’t easy to put muscle.. same happens with doncic, which looks fat but he’s not.
@@maxcady5287yea he prolly didn’t start lifting till prolly late in his career tbh
Well played, didn't play his best series but he is a keeper
He was getting there. I think if the series went on longer he would have had a I"m Him type of game. How he played in the clutch tonight was the Austin Reaves I like to see.
Lakers should build around you 💜💛
Relax
Tie this guy and ham up
He's not CC dude chill lol.
Lakers need you back AR. You showed up in the last game. I think we needed Vando healthy to truly clinch this so don't feel to bad.
Great job Reaves time to hit the lab bro and come back stronger and better next season, Lakers got you on a bargain contract and hopefully they make the right moves this offseason and you’re not apart of them moves 🙏
This Man will be back .
lets try and try AR one day you will be on the top.... congratzz for this season goodluck for more...
AR15 on PointGuard is a good choice. And find another SG who can score consistently
AR better be back next yr. He's got heart and belongs in purple & gold.
he probably will. the contract he signed was for 4 years.
Did his thing this season
If Austin could score 25 a game and play with confidence like he did when he have that im him game diff story . And defense he gets cooks on screens and picks
AR is a winning player! This was by far the best exit interview. I love his mentality.
I hope AR can remain a Laker, especially with his contract. But I know most teams are going to want him if we make a trade(s).
I just noticed something its only his race in these comments
Hes overhyped cause of that reason Hes not him he hasnt proved anything in nba olympics nothin
Caitlyn Clark is better and shes not the best just overhyped like him No Rings
AR was never an issue with this team. Dude was always leaving it on the floor and holding himself accountable when he had a bad game. That's what a winner is and he will get a ring as a Laker. Keep balling AR. Lakernation loves you and believes in you 💛💜💛💜💛💜
Kyrie or KD will make it a real run for Championship. AR is a keeper for sure
That " play with 1 of them " sounding like they Bron might be leaving
He needs more vertical jump. His anticipation is on point that he can block any guard player, but lacks jump height
Keep austin reeves
if he learns how to manoeuvre through screens effectively he might be him
AR needs some bulk and just needs keep working on his D. Got a bright future in this league and hopefully we don’t let him walk 💜 💛
Reaves as a 6th man would be great
If Pelinka trades this man we riot. AR is a true Laker, and we desperately need that mamba mentality/culture in the organization.
Austin Reaves can be a solid 3rd man, he just needs a bit more practice overall, I do think he'll be a great player to have on the team if he stays..
Please keep ar at all costs
wouldn't they have to since he signed a contract for 4 years.
I hope he's a lifelong Laker
He would be great off the bench.
How in the world do we not double Murray on the last possession? And how did we not make a gameplan on MPJ 3s???
They need to keep AD, reaves, and Dlo. Let Lebron fly the coup and pickup a strong point guard. Reaves needs to stack just a little muscle on and move him to SF, that team wins a title.
>AR-15-GOAT•°•°•°°
//° \\
AR-15 the future is bright , Dont beat yourself up to bad! I know you're gonna come back way better next year!!!
Reaves don’t need to improve anything. If HAM was coaching like a real NBA coach, his players wouldn’t be underperforming. But when they did he still let them drag their feet for 30+ minutes not scoring more than 10 points in a whole game. If anybody has to go is HAM first
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
AR needs to stop playing so much golf and get in the friggin weight room.
He can do both. Golf is cool. Take a joint or two and walk around for couple of hours.
He strong enough. He needs bit better conditioning and tone up. Lots of baby fat
Franchise player
Laker
Austin need to get in the weight room and get stronger
Darvin ham is such a reaves hater. Always taking him out and is so quick to bench him yet keeps dlo in when dlo shoots 0-7. Fire darvin ham
If I'm LeBron. My option
1. Stay at lakers
2. Clippers
3. Kings
4. Warriors
5. Magic
6. Heat
7. Knicks
8. Cavs
Hopefully bronny get draft by those team. But his not well prepared I guess
Reaves shoot %27 from 3pt line and everybody talking positive about him is crazy.
He can get in the paint. 3 ponters don't always fall. And he hit the big ones when it counts, like in last night's game. What did Murray shoot from the field for the series?
His self awareness and self accountability is why everyone is speaking about him positively. While everyone else, including Lebron blamed their failed season on injuries, Austin Reaves was the only player to say that he just wasnt good enough and that he'll remember this series this summer while hes in the gym grinding. Thats the attitude that every player should have after elimination.
@@antisocialraiding4444Lebron and Ad aren’t to blame it’s the others like rui and dlo and reaves who need to
Ppl dont know basketball. These role players aren't focal point of offensive plans. Lebron and AD take all the shots. Thus they score the MOST POINTS. They are the better players. Only guy on team that plays his role good is Reaves.
Overhyped cause he 👱🏼♀️
Hes Not Him
Didnt do nothin in college or olympics Hes just someone ⬜️people can drool over Basic Reaves
They need Dwight
😂
Bro didn’t improve in a whole year
Trade him his defense suck ballhandling inconsistent gave you two good games in the playoffs.
Austin blames not on you bron Or ad or Rui
Rui was useless. For his size and athletic ability he should be playing like AG
Yes, he deserves blame for this game. Particularly on defense.
He's not the same type of player as AG and not as athletic.
Rui is a combo 4 that relies more on his shot than his athleticism, and when he makes those shots is when he's at his best, he plays overall with more confidence.
Rui not the problem bro
@@TheSpiritOfTheWest
Rui was good this game he attacked and hit some big 3s
@@kennyvuong9507 I love Rui but he mostly wasn't good in this playoff. He's got a lot of work to do on his game in the off-season.
Hard to fight through obviously bad rotations and unfair benching BYE DARVIN
bruh everyone in the comments is capping for this man, he was hyped up as being the 3rd best and at times second best player.. dude is terrible defensively and he melts in the clutch but because he a fan favorite and a social media star yall capping.. nobody in denver was worried about no gotdamn austin reaves.. he needs to NEVER play shooting guard ever again.. dude is a point guard and he needs to play PG period.. he is a good playmaker nothing else
Who said anything about Denver fearing about him? With all due respect to LeBron and Ad Denver didn't fear them either.
He can’t even guard
@@ScamNewton-vd8ddWhy Murray shoot so poorly in series? Why Murray claiming he injured? Cause white boy was hurting his shooting stats. Lol
Lol He good and white. Too bad they didn't have him involved in game plan. Last year he only player that kept lakers from getn blown out. Only reason they won one game this year. Had to come of hams bench last 4 mins of 4th quarter to save the only game lakers won. Reaves not the problem.
@@JohnAllen-qq8yh I love reaves man he a dawg but doesn’t take away the fact that he can’t guard
He’s about to cry like his coach(LeGM)🤣🤣
OVERHYPED He proved Hes NOT Him 😂😂😂 He needs to be traded He not Lakers Material
HE CANT NEVER FILL RUSSELL WESTBROOKS SHOES
Trade this dude ! He was a no show just like Dlo
Get outtttt,please trade him,and he gave murray a clean look
Jokic fouled him ignorant. Watch replay on here
@@JohnAllen-qq8yh the w man will never let anyone be king
Austin reaves is garbage 🗑️
That part! 🎯🎯🎯
What an embarrassment a last place team in the playoffs because refs gave them a billion more free throws than their opponents all year
Your tears are great😂
He over rated
How come? Which is your analysis about him?
