One thing I respect the most about Austin Reaves is shown in what he said: "I am not blessed enough to freestyle it." - He plays in the NBA; is one of the most talented basketball players on the planet. Yet, he says he has to dedicate himself to learning plays, playing in the system etc.. It is admirable given that others see themselves as so blessed with talent, that they refuse to run plays, play in a system and just to their thing every game.
The truth is that there are guys who can get by on just inherent talent & athleticism, and Reeves knows that. Young MJ was exactly like that; while 1990s MJ was more measured, disciplined, and moved while off-ball to shift defenses away from the real play.
its why it blows many minds when such capable players don't just buy in to systems, i get egos and trying to be "the guy", they are good enough to do so much. and every team that wins a champ, no complaints from the other guys who contributed
Exactly Reaves is the perfect team player compare this mindset to Jordan Pooles…
Jordan Poole take note.
Beat me to it @@samtaylor9626
Im a proud, committed Austin Reaves fan and glazer
I stg I’m the only one n my friend group that fw AR😢😂
Ayo
This is outrageous.
😂😂😂😂
@@OBJ317 outrageous how not many people are like me😔😔
Best thing that ever happend to Austin Reeves was not getting drafted in 2021 and getting picked up by the Lakers !
What’s crazy is that he could of got drafted but chose not to because he wanted to be a Laker
@@kodakmoment3541 I read somewhere the Pistons wanted to draft him but he declined , I didn't even know you could do that . Or maybe the Pistons just drafted someone else when he said he wasn't interested .
Perfect example of what "coachable player" means. Continued success to Austin Reeves, he's amazing to watch play.
Amazing? He avgs 12ppg lmao but ok.
@@HARRY__PeckerHe’s on a team with LeBron and AD.
@@HARRY__Peckerits 15 so get ur facts straight lol... and 15 ppg as 6th man is fking great
Now I’m ready for the Lebron Interview
Same
@@JJRedick get the '16 Cavs team
@@JJRedickYou would be one of the few lebron interviews (im sure you know that ) 😬👍
If JJ was on that team he'd get the interview easy
Love his game. Plays the right way. At first I was thinking flash in the pan but nope. He's the real deal. His name is coming in trades and I REALLY hope he stays where he is.
You might even say he has a first one in, last one out mentality.
You can tell he works hard asl he seems like a really good kid
Sneaky athletic , high iq player
That's a dude you want on a contending team. Excellent interview as always & its not even fully out
Fr jj always edging us
It’s refreshing to see a host allow his guest to speak and listen respectfully
He’s a great storyteller
He's got a few that are amazing.
@@JJRedickwoahhhh pause
@@noah-jn4rmwhat about that is pauseworthy 🤡
@@noah-jn4rmhow is that pause 🤨
@@thogvii934the dude gotta 2 years old talking bout “pause”🤦🏿♂️
I am a big fan of Austin Reaves.
He is very committed to the game and plays hard every night. Big up AR
Congrats on 1 million subscribers 🎉! Wonder what the new intro will be 😂
For real lol
This is my favorite quality of lebron’s. That man’s basketball IQ is so high he understands the development of those around him and his ability to trust his teammates is honestly kind of inspiring. He makes the good basketball decision regardless of who he is passing to and trusts them but even if they don’t make it he doesn’t lose faith in them or disrespect them, he is the first one to help them up and tell them to shake it off
Especially in years 20/21. After doing it with multiple teams.
1 million subs!!! Totally deserve it JJ, I love your channel.
He’s one of the few that really wants it. No designer clothes, doesn’t big note himself, just plays hard and works harder. Not really a shock why he’s finding success.
You really think that’s a Hanes hoody?
Having no designer clothes means you ‘really want it’ ??? Lmfao okay man. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
“he’s one if the few that really wants it”
typical vague praise for a white athlete
Plus he literally took less money to stay on the Lakers. He had a chance to go for way more with other teams
Good stuff. Excited for full interview!
I love his story to being a starter and being one of the best and reliable players on our roster. He’s always competing which I respect tf out of. Can’t wait to see him grow and become more elite. He’s a dawg for sure.
He doesn’t start.
@@scandelezhe did but playin amazing off the bench only reason he don’t is for more defense, don’t comment unless u act kno why he don’t start
^ fr
Looking forward to the full vid. Great to see Austin getting the minutes and trust off the bench now to maximise his impact on the games. SMOY 2024.
I fawks with Austin Reeves hard! This was one of my favorite videos. He reminds me of some of my Kentucky friends. Nice normal looking guy thatll eat your heart in competition! Love this
great interview. I'm new to this podcast but I have engaged and happy to listen to them
Austin reaves is a beast . He’s getting us to atleast the conference finals this year
Tyrese Maxey >Reaves
@@chinoxSDduh
As a Mavs fan, I see your point. By the way, you can win if your 3rd best player is in a conversation with Philly's 2nd best player.
Yea AR could Avr 24 PPG in like a year after getting 6th man off the year getting 20 OFF THE BENCH@@BillTony2
But if we get Zack and A Center We 2 peating and then getting a bronny a chip with bron for his 6th or 7th ring watch
Congrats on 1Mil subs JJ!🎉 so what’s up with a sale on the merch in celebration? 😂
congrats on the million followers. well deserved 👏
Congratulations on hitting 1 million subscribers jj 🎊🎉
I was in the crowd of doubters for AR. But now proven wrong, ya gotta cheer for the kids. Quite transparent in his interview.
My favorite Bron clip is watching him laugh after David Blaine tricked Rondo. 🤣🤣🤣
Jj! Love your content! Keep up the grind! Keep it up
I invested in AR stock as soon as he hit a game winner in summer league, nice to see it panned out great for him
Up until today, I’ve never seen Tommy Alter without a cap. 💀💀
Jj!
Thank you for letting your guest speak!
I can listen to Austin Reaves ALL DAY ❤
AR!!!! Great player, seems like an even better human. Cheering for ya
Shout out to the Austin Reaves glazer gang. We never switched up 💯 🦍
I mess with Austin Reaves heavy. Hard not to root for a guy you see putting in the work & over exceeding his role in a way
CONGRATS ON 1 MIL JJ
congrats for 1 M subs❤❤
Congrats JJ on a million subs!!!
What a great interview! I’m already knowing
Great pod JJ!!!
AR is a beast!!! Dope interview!
Lake show!!!
Congrats on 1M !!!
AR15 one of my favourites, real hooper!
He is a dawg. I love his game. I hope the Lakers keep him for a while while making everything around him smooth.
Imagine having one of your recent texts be “LeBron James” lol. Wild.
Congratulations on 1mil
We love you AR!!!!!!💛💜
Man I could listen to jjs smooth buttery voice talk about basketball forever
Here's the thing nobody gives this kid credit for: he's having all this success while at the same time having to deal with a best friend who cuts school and makes him--without permission --borrow his dad's beloved, diaper-rubbed, vintage Ferrari to drive it all around Chicago.
What
@@Hxncho_Greatit’s a great Ferris Bueller reference
Lol
🤣🤣🤣
It's also an ageometer@@JacksonDreyer
Great player and very humble…. Respect ✊🏻
From everything you hear form his peers Bron is one of the coolest stars ever
Let’s go my guy🎉🎉🎉
I think the biggest difference between regular seaosn/playoffs listening to players talk is just the preperation, and using that preparation in game. Regular season you get little cheat sheets of tendacies and stuff like that. But its such a long regular season its just mentally draining to be so focused on the mental aspect of it.
Reaves is the heart of this Lakers team. Lebron is the leader, but Reaves brings so much energy and hype to the whole team, you can see it
Somewhat. I feel like AD is more the heart. LeBron is obviously the leader and always shows up but when AD is playing even remotely decent they aren’t loosing.
AD is the heart of the team. They go as he goes. He’s the #1 option on offense and the anchor on defense.
@@scandelezbro AD always on the floor he is definitely not the pulse of our squad
Lebron is an absolute force multiplier.
What I like about Austin is he's consistent, and you can see the competitiveness in him on the court
Did y'all record this at an Elks lodge in Sheboygan?
He's just in LA and figuring out life. I like his honesty.
“I can’t make him look stupid” I feel like every player that has played with Bron that hasn’t already made some sort of name for themselves else where thinks like that with him. It ultimately leads to them becoming too nervous and missing wide open shots. I wish those dudes would just trust themselves
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Bron isn’t just any team leader.
It’s not like it makes Reaves play worse either for this particular example.
@@beckmanchilds756 Lebron isn't any team leader based on what? He's the telling guys what to do both offensively and defensively, and getting them to buy into a system to compete. Just listen to what JR Smith had to say. Being passive aggressive in interviews and trade rumors doesn't negate that
How can we watch more of this?
He said “LeBron shot a one footed, hook shot, over DeAndre Jordan, off glass, from the elbow, for game.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mean...I thought nobody else caught that but, I was like...OMG...this man is a beast!😂😂😂
Are they matching on purpose 👀😭😭
That slow motion effect is real bruh like I feel it when playing dodgeball 😅
Bro done got Reaves on the POD Lordy
I can’t find the episode on Apple pods??
This boy country as hell lol
There's only 4 players LeBron has ever trusted with the ball in crunch time; D Wade, Kyrie, Rondo and now AR.
AR must be special.
Hold up…..Boobie Gibson was one of them ones
This is my guy!!!!!
The first time I seen AR play in summer league.. I told everybody around me that’s he’s gonna make the lakers team and the reason why.. is whenever I see somebody with the same or similar basketball moves on the court… as me ..let’s me know how much work they pouring into the game…to pull those moves off in game.. tells me their mind set .. AR is really fearless.. like kyrie and Luka they all have Outstanding footwear with that ball in their hands
🤣🤣 he ain’t doing the same moves as u lil bro he’s in the nba you never even played d1
@@thedefiguy2984 go do your homework on me goofy 🤪 my resume speaks for its self and my bag deep … I get paid off dribbling a basketball… Silly 😜 guy …
@@VoscoBack nobody doing their hw on you cause you’re a nobody, need to flex in yt comments for validation from strangers 💀 do better
Gotta admit this man’s offensive game isn’t bad at all!! He hits huge 3s all the time and he can drive in for and one’s. Just needs to work on his defense and dribbling. I’m a Celtics fan so I naturally hate any Laker players lol. You gotta respect AR though, dude came out of no where and balling in a city where a lot of people fold under the lights.
He’s confident as hell. His bag of skills is never fully on display tho. He’s settling for his role and driving and hitting contested shots often still, but his true offensive bag is quite extensive. If you look at his hs/college highlights he’s been doing the same exact things.
People do it all the time, comparing players to their previous college or even hs days but that never translates. The most difficult shots he has put up in the past he’s basically done as a laker. He’s just not needed to score so much (which I don’t think he could do full volume). It’s also very impressive how he basically has to cook with a microwave being on a team with Lebron and AD who average like 50+ points every game.
The other thing is that AR’s handling is the part of the game that translated to the nba best. Most guards Can’t translate like that unless they’re a lottery pick. Lakers rely on Reaves to handle the rock After Lebron. Which is nuts. He’s a special solid player for the lakers. Signing him for another 4 years for less than 60 mil was a great move
Edit:
I forgot to mention he has plays great defense. His anticipation is great. Sneaky good and he’s got length.
AR is the future of the Lakers!
Austin your just as good as anyone else on the lakers of course they trust u
Basketball legend.
I feel like he definitely will be. Imagine when LeBron retires and its just him and AD ? 🫢
I love the White Mamba
Just saw on Basketball reference that one of Lebron nicknames is Benjamin Buckets lmao!!!!
legendary
I'm always surprised when I hear AR's little Southern twang. Then I remember he's from middle-of-nowhere Arkansas lmaooo
That Jason Williams jeje
Austin needs to be starting, if he hasnt earned it idk what else you would want him to do. Hes a great teammate, smart and efficient. Ar15 should be the defacto 3rd option for LA.
I think this released a little bit early😂
0:55
Haven't heard much of bro talking & now I understand the hillbilly kobe nickname 🤣
Where the hell is the rest of this? I can’t wait.
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. You can tell that’s not the full interview. They will probably post the full episode at some point.
When I heard lebron say Austin has basketball IQ, I knew he was the real deal.
White boy Wednesday vibes 😂 it’s funny how my pops who is a super later fan since he was kid watching magic and all that been saying since day 1 when they signed Reaves his rookie year that he was special and was gonna be a nice player
First cut I've seen but who won in golf? No way JJ and AR got together without 9 holes minimum.
After tradeline and he wasn’t traded. Let’s see if that remains next trade deadline. 🤔
Let’s just hope he doesn’t get traded
You know as much as people can't stand Skip Bayless he was one of the only few toting this kid's name before he became a relevant name. Reaves has been awesome.
❤❤❤ AR15 love from Philippines
Reaves is him
Meanwhile Kobe never spoke to his teammates for 2 years
1 million!
Lebron “never in a bad mood” James 🔥🔥🔥
That's the difference between JJ and reporters. A reporter would have said: "getting SWEPT by Denver". Instead, JJ says: "whatever happened against Denver".
I hope Jaylen Brown your next guest JJ Reddick 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bron builds up his teammates: Cam Reddish too.
AR 15. Austin Clutch
1 milly!!!
Bro, I love Austin, but Caruso a beast..., Defensive
its the Mayo Mamba
It’s an honor for me to be called Austin reeves by the homeless people of LA🤝
JJ, when are you going to break down the rockets about how much better they have gotten from last year to this year?
