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

Up until today, I’ve never seen Tommy Alter without a cap. 💀💀

great interview. I'm new to this podcast but I have engaged and happy to listen to them

I was in the crowd of doubters for AR. But now proven wrong, ya gotta cheer for the kids. Quite transparent in his interview.

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.

AR is a beast!!! Dope interview! Lake show!!!

Great pod JJ!!!

Congrats on 1M !!!

My favorite Bron clip is watching him laugh after David Blaine tricked Rondo. 🤣🤣🤣

congrats on the million followers. well deserved 👏

Jj! Thank you for letting your guest speak!

congrats for 1 M subs❤❤

Congratulations on hitting 1 million subscribers jj 🎊🎉

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

Jj! Love your content! Keep up the grind! Keep it up

What a great interview! I’m already knowing

AR15 one of my favourites, real hooper!

Congrats JJ on a million subs!!!

AR!!!! Great player, seems like an even better human. Cheering for ya

Shout out to the Austin Reaves glazer gang. We never switched up 💯 🦍

Congrats on 1Mil subs JJ!🎉 so what’s up with a sale on the merch in celebration? 😂

We love you AR!!!!!!💛💜

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.

Great player and very humble…. Respect ✊🏻

Lebron is an absolute force multiplier.

Are they matching on purpose 👀😭😭

How can we watch more of this?

I can’t find the episode on Apple pods??

Did y'all record this at an Elks lodge in Sheboygan?

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.

This boy country as hell lol

He's just in LA and figuring out life. I like his honesty.

That slow motion effect is real bruh like I feel it when playing dodgeball 😅

What I like about Austin is he's consistent, and you can see the competitiveness in him on the court

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.

When I heard lebron say Austin has basketball IQ, I knew he was the real deal.

I'm always surprised when I hear AR's little Southern twang. Then I remember he's from middle-of-nowhere Arkansas lmaooo

Just saw on Basketball reference that one of Lebron nicknames is Benjamin Buckets lmao!!!!

I love the White Mamba

I think this released a little bit early😂

Austin your just as good as anyone else on the lakers of course they trust u

First cut I've seen but who won in golf? No way JJ and AR got together without 9 holes minimum.

1 million!

Reaves is him

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.

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

I hope Jaylen Brown your next guest JJ Reddick 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Bro I could’ve swore AR had a way thicker country accent not too long ago. I only hear it slightly now, thas way too quick too adapt to your local accent no?

Lebron “never in a bad mood” James 🔥🔥🔥

Bron builds up his teammates: Cam Reddish too.

❤❤❤ AR15 love from Philippines

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.

Peter Parket to Lebrony Stark

You need to get bron on the pod badly

can’t wait for the day jj gets lebron on here

its the Mayo Mamba

That's the difference between JJ and reporters. A reporter would have said: "getting SWEPT by Denver". Instead, JJ says: "whatever happened against Denver".

Bro, I love Austin, but Caruso a beast..., Defensive

Jonas from Dark can hoop

Bron the ultimate leader

Austin reaves can play for the next 10 15 years and have 5 6 7 8 different version of himself after playing wit LeBron everyday bruh can attack the basket he can run 2 man he can run point he can play off the ball he can shoot pretty decent and he can pass pretty well he plays defense and he plays hard. Anything else you need you can coach it in him...bout as good as you can get from a kid from nowhere that is naturally pretty good and not at all arrogant...I liked him from the very beginning and I don't care wat team he play for in the future I'ma get that jersey too.. bruh is real deal out there givin out work

Lebron masters the art of making his teammate great. On every team he was, he proved it. Senegal, West Africa.

What separates him is not talent or athleticism but BB IQ.

1M Subs! Keep on keeping on JJ and team. Interstellar sucks! Kidding, haven't even seen it yet. 💀 Congratulations!

did not know he had an accent

Hopefully they don’t trade him too lol
