- In an interview conducted on location in Los Angeles, POINT FORWARD welcomes Los Angeles Laker AUSTIN REAVES to the show. With ANDRE IGUODALA unavailable due to Golden State Warrior commitments, fellow host EVAN TURNER holds us down and goes deep with the red-hot Reaves about his upbringing in tiny Newark, Arkansas. While most of his classmates were partying and hanging out, Reaves was following his family’s example in the gym. And once he got discovered by the broader basketball world, folks like Lon Kruger, Rajon Rondo and his current teammate, LeBron James, have helped push him to being one of the top second-year players in the NBA.
The Point Forward podcast, hosted by former NBA teammates and current best friends Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner, uses basketball as a pretext to honestly and openly talk about business, culture, race, tech, and, yes, sports. Specifically, over the course of weekly hour-long episodes that drop on #pointforwardfriday, Iguodala and Turner, discuss and debate current national and global events in a way that is meant to resonate with everyone from the Silicon Valley elite to teenagers on the south side of Chicago.

The timing of this interview is perfect. Well done!
Yeeeeaah ur absolutely right about that my man!! Evan Turner knew exactly what he was doing 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
AR 15 Goated 😅🐐
100%
Reaves got a personal coach reviewing his film for improvements-his mom!
Absolutely amazing.
Everytime I have this in that background I gotta remember I’m listening to ET and not Lil Yachty lmao
I tOoK a WaAaAaAaLk To PoLaNd
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh 😂
Bruhhhhhhh 😂 i didn't even realize that. and today i just realized tristan thompson sounds damn near the same as richard jefferson while listening to the draymond show lmao
Watching this whole interview, you realize just how grounded and mature Reaves is compared to a lot of professional athletes. That's how you know that even though he has the looks of a teenager, he's really an older, second year player who did more than just develop his game in college.
He developed as an all-around human being. Hope the money doesn't change him, 'cause Mr. Newark, Arkansas is about to be filthy rich. 🏀💰📜
Yeah, he's older in every way...and on paper, ha.
Better than J 's ttute
Yo, no doubt, my man’s getting paid this summer.
Old soul fasho
@@pointforward I really respect the homework you all did on this podcast and for bringing spotlight on one of NBA fan favorites.
As a Laker fan, you gotta love this kid. When he announces where he gonna play for the next couple years on this Podcast, he better be staying in the Purple and Gold! To the Lakers organization, pay this man his money! He earned it through hard work and dedication!
Seems like he’s the one one on the Lakers that isn’t a douche bag.
I ain't no Laker fan... and I still really love this kid. No bull, as real as it gets, and just a COOL human!
@@RodneyDavis yeah I’m not really a laker fan either since I’m not really a fan of LeBron, but this kid seems down to earth.
I’m black and I cringe at Austin continuously being so blatantly called the “white boy” hooping - That’s ignorant. He’s obviously white, but you don’t have to keep pointing it out; it doesn’t define him. I don’t like prejudice talk from anyone, especially coming from my people.
nah bruh! Kendrick Perkins shakin his head! LAKERS is Lebron nd AD team. not that whitey
@@vadalarc2948 no one’s saying the lakers are Austin reaves team🤡
Evan sound like lil yachthy
@@vadalarc2948 you’re a part of the problem
I'm white and I love Morgan Freeman's take - "do you want to end racism? STOP TALKING ABOUT IT." 99% of people are good human beings that don't see race but rather character. It's that 1% (that is present in ALL races) that the media blasts 24/7 to trick us into thinking that's the state of America. IT ISN'T.
Austin Reaves is playing like John Wick! Killing everyone with his Pivot Foot!
is 4 good I'm seeing it tomorrow
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂GOOD ANALOGY DOGGY!! U RIGHT ABOUT THAT THO, THE KID IS "BOSS BALLIN" RIGHT NOW!! SEEEEEE U GOT ME GOIN' BACK 2 THE 80'S & 90'S WIT THE SLANG😂😂😂😂 KOBE WOULD BE AMAZED @ AUSTIN REEVES, NO DOUBT🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💛👑👑👑#ONAQUEST2THEFINALS💪🏾
@@tupacalypse88 I heard it's great! The reviews are great.
@@scratchpenny john wick die in 4
Bron still got Evan turner SALTY🤣
What a journey this man has been !! Such a inspiration ❤
For real!
AR living the dream what a story coming from nowhere and so humble you have love this guy
Small Town now on the Lakeshow
First Derek Fisher now Austin Reaves
It's rare to find guys this confident and fearless at such a young age. He is exactly the type of guy every single team needs in order to win a championship.
Reaves is the man. Great interview man. You asked amazing questions
Appreciate you!
Bahahahha you actually believe that you ask amazing questions bahahah
@@jayess431hating ahhhh nihhhh , where yo podcast ?
@@jayess431 ... congratulations! You got as many brain cells as your shoe size.
Look at Austin man, so inspirational.
Reaves is a super underrated piece for the Lakers
I am very proud of Reeves , his playing abilities is beyond this world. I believe he is going to be one of the greatest players to play this game basketball 🏀
Oh.
Looool, I love his game but come on dude.
I know what you meant there. By greatest player you meant greatest locker room teammate, role player, and energy setter.
buggin
🧢
I love how most the NBA players are so chill off the court even when they're vicious enemies when the game's on.
Evan is a great interviewer. It's clear he researched before interviewing and even more impressive he doesn't have notes and is able to recall his research in the interview on a dime. But most importantly he doesn't keep the questions to his prepared questions, but also listens to Austin's responses and takes an interesting thing Austin says to throw out questions related to Austin's responses. Great stuff, Evan. You're excellent! You have a great talent for this.
Gotta support my fellow Arkansas brother...he's a good success story.
This kid is the reason I keep watching Lakers games. Hooper with a capital H. And I can so see Rondo taking this one under his wing.
He plays kinda like Manu, his pick and roll offense is smooth, pass the ball to open teammates, aggressive. Keep up the hard work AR15!
I see that. He's a big fan of the euro step too
Enjoyed your interview.
Glad I watched this interview! Hope the Lakers can spark some magic and make an exciting postseason run.
Great 1 on 1 by Et. Wouldn’t have ever expected him to be an interviewer but it works
So blessed I was able to watch this man live a few weeks ago in OKC he has that magic touch 🪄
I just like seeing people succeed no matter the race. 🙏🏼
Incredible interview of an incredible young man. Subscribed!
Appreciate you!
This dude is high on life and I love it!
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW!!!!!!!
Nice interview. Evan did a great job with his interview, a real natural conversationalist.
He's a 2nd Generation Athlete that learned from his Dad like Pete Maravich did. Very strong base for success.
Good Show! Good Interview Point Foward. Very inspiring. Hoping some upcoming hoops tear watch it.
crazy i played him and his brother in high school, during that time his brother spencer was cooooold, and then going into his jr and senior year Austin went from 6 ftish to 6’ 5”
That story when he shot the ball and it felt horrible but he made it all net. Lmaooo
All hoopers can commiserate!
he has such a polished game always knew he was going to shine, lakers better not get rid of him, players like him are how teams win chips
Awesome interview! No notes and firing away…shows you put the time in on prep. Subscribed and enjoying your other interviews.
Really appreciate the kind words.
Caruso walked so Reaves could run. This kid is special.
I have a feeling both of then gonna end up on the lakers at the same time one day. AC coming back
Why??? Cause they both white, stop.
Great interview, thank you!
I had the wrong opinion of Evan Turner. Media can spin whatever he seems like a down to earth dude and this interview was great he asked the right questions and let Austin talk!
I wanted to check this out because I am a big fan of this guy. He has some swag to his game. Love it!
Stopped by for the Austin Reaves hook. Good show. Evan Turner is ready for primetime. Subscribed. Austin Reaves is going to be a Laker star.
Austin Reaves is my favorite Laker right now.
Cool podcast and solid interviewing chops from Turner
Hope, the lakers, keep him for
The rest of his career. His a
Great person, and a fantastic
Player. Wish Austin Reaves,
The best.
The perfect balance between confidence and humility. 😊
Love this kid, he has that something in him like John Stockton,Joe Dumars come to mind, humble but competitive and fierce
yowww i just like this kind of podcast! hosted by real nba players keeping it real and honest! thankss
Aw very cool story to a very humble player right now😍keep going Austin Reaves 😊play smarter and harder as usually you are doing😊❤️
This interviewer is great! Shoutout to Austin!
Huge Congrats to this brother He's a true Baller hard work determination committment
Good interview, great questions!
Evan Turner, you're a great interviewer!!
Glad to see former players ask good questions.
Big fan of AR, thanks for sitting down with him. Really hope he gets a good offer from LA but wherever he goes I always root for ex-Lakers to succeed.
5 years, $376 million, guaranteed
Most the L.A. Lakers can offer off the jump is 4 years/ $50 million under the Gilbert Arenas provision of the CBA. Austin Reaves will be a restricted free agent, though, so if another NBA team offers more, the Lakers can match.
"More" would be a 'poison pill,' in the Year 3 and Year 4, but L.A. can afford it, because LeBron and probably A.D. will be gone by then. This all assumes Rob Pelinka reaches a good deal with D'Angelo Russell, who will be the biggest chunk of the Lakers off-season free agency cap. 🏀💰📜
Boy was cold in high school in Arkansas boy dropped 73 on Forrest City in the State Championship game an 59 pts against us (McGehee Owls) an we had 59 pts as a team. 😂😂
Not too mention 73 pts with a Triple Double 🤣 I root for you all the time AR 💯
Excellent interview and great questions, Mr. Turner. AR your fabulous and very hungry to become the best you can be. I wish you always the best and please stay a Laker.
Man I mess with reaves heavy!! That’s my boy 💯
Great show. Thank you

There face when they say cream for the first time kills me lmao
IQ, Intangibles and confidence are propelling Austin right now
Great episode🔥💪🏾
dope interview
Really enjoy this! Say less!
great interview!
One thing people don't think about is the locker room atmosphere. It can be very intimidating going into a locker room not knowing anyone (my freshman year at college playing) I couldn't imagine walking into the locker room with lebron, AD, Russ, Rondo... shit would be intense
He knew that he belonged from the moment he showed out in training camp. Supreme confidence
What an amazing story. Small town, barely any notoriety, goes undrafted to his favorite team, alongside the 2nd best player. Then, on the brink of missing the playoffs with Lebron going down and he balls out and helps the Lakers will their way in. He earned his way in, and now he's about to get that bag.
Austin is a smooth dude 😌🏀👌🏽
great interview
this dude doesn't need a podcast
Love d way you interviewed AR15 his very nice looking forward to see him again ❤❤❤
New sub here
Been a huge AR fan for a while now
The next Jerry West ❤

Kobe woulda loved Reaves. I know that for damn sure.
sup ET. glad to see you making waves again. O-H …
You’re low key really good at this. How pleasantly random
Evan should write books, i enjoy his question!!!!!!!
Pat Bev caught strays in this 😂😂😂😂😂
"Just don't hit the backboard!" haha. LOVE IT! #Ar15 💜🧡
Man... This guy has that thing that makes you want to root for him. I could only imagine what he will be in a few years. I imagine a taller John Stockton. I want to see the ball in his hands but even more it's what he does without the ball.
Yeahh agree with broh taller version of Jhon Stockton.. He will be even better soon.. I guese
@@litobrown6572 idk, Stockton a pass first player, reeves a 3 level scorer
I love this guy.
Humble beast
He also has a hardcore chip on his shoulder
such a clutch player
The dude just asked him 3 questions a bunch of different ways for 30 min lol
Legend 🔥
Shoutout to ET but Iguodala ima big fan 💪
Good looking out by Rondo. Hope to see Austin suceed
@19:32
Austin Reeves: "y'all witnessed history tonight "
