Still can’t get over this pass man. 1st playoff game, 4th quarter, crunch time, shot clock winding down, close game and just look at the accuracy on that dime. He’s special. I was in awe when I watched it Live.

Austin “Magic” Reaves
How many players have made this kind of jump anywhere near his position since joining the league?? It’s kind of hard to process what I’m seeing with his growth lmao
It’s not Linsanity, but wtf. Lol
My first instinct at that moment was “what the fuck is he doing”. I immediately regretted my blasphemous thought and have been atoning every minute since then.
Watching the game I was asking myself if Caruso was that good in his 2nd year and I don’t think so. The kid needs to be paid asap.
2nd year in the league, first playoff game, close game, clutch moment – AND he did this? A testament of his no fear, all courage ‘I’m HIM’ mentality. Just amazes me tbh.
Both dudes grew up Kobe fans, not surprised they aren’t scared of the big moments.
When he pulled off this laser behind the back I literally was in awe with the accuracy. This boy is a BEAST.
Does someone offer Reaves 2 for 40 or something like that?
I hate to bring up a Celtic especially in the playoffs. But this gives me Larry Bird vibes. Reeves is turning into an All-Star before our eyes.
And then you have Memphis fans wondering why we salivate over this guy so much 😂. They don’t know talent even if they get hit in the head with a Dillon Brooks brick.
Absolute filth
hillbilly kobe strikes again.
Absolutely amazing.
The takeover was unreal. I was in the stands and Memphis went awfully quiet 💛💜🥹
He is fucking sauce
I keep saying his best comp is Manu Ginóbili.
Crazy thing to say but I honestly felt more confident we’d get a good shot when Austin had the ball instead of Lebron. The way he’s improved as a pick and roll playmaker is insane.
Pay this man
Pass was on target too 🎯
To me this was the craziest play of the game. What huge fucking balls that pass takes by a undrafted player! He might be him.
Huge onions
Austin “I’M HIM” Reeves
Given all the circumstances (playoffs, Lakers, undrafted White guy, your teammate is literally LeBron fucking James) this might be one of the ballsiest passes I can remember lol
Craziest part is he made this pass to Rui’s chest. Go it RIGHT to where it needed to be for a seamless catch and shoot attempt.
Behind TWO backs.
no-look-behind-the-back dime from the block to the 3 point line while driving on Dillion brooks soft-self is absolutely insane
