  1. he plays with such a crazy rhythm and flow. He is just crazy fundamental with great movement. Feels like you dont see many guys move as freely and as composed as AR.

  2. What’s up with the nba this year everybody dropping 50😭😭this gon be a great season to watch

  3. Where are all the haters talking about the 22 free throws? If this was SGA, the sheep would be having a meltdown

  4. This may be a hot take, but he’s lowkey one of the most feared players in the league..

    I feel like dudes are scared to check him. You can see it every time he has possession of the ball. It’s a guaranteed bucket almost 8 times out of 10.

    With guys like Steph, Luka, shai, joker, giannis obviously they’re feared, but like you know to expect greatness from those guys. But with a guy like Reaves, you really don’t know what to expect.. that’s what makes him so scary.. He can settle for 20-25 a night on like 5-6 assists as a consistent 2nd/3rd option or when he’s asked to be a 1st option, he can mess around and drop 40-50 a night on like a 10-20 fg%, which is extremely efficient. He’s so deceptive & skilled. Extremely savvy. Looking like an all star caliber player right now. Me personally, I’m not surprised. I knew he was different the moment he came undrafted out of Oklahoma. Dude plays with a major chip on his shoulder. Got some Larry bird in him for sure.

  5. Some fans need to rally around their guys rather than constantly demanding they be traded. The progression Reaves has shown is great. And he's a pretty likable guy, even if he's too obsessed with golf…..

  6. AR15 out here executing a kings team w derozan, lavine, sabonis and westbrook without lebron or luka. This season start is one of the greatest in the last 10 years at least!

  7. All that is now missing is some ol' stupid phrase all the NBA commentators have been using : "It's not athletic enough" 🙂

  8. Good to see him get hot when Luca and Lebron are not playing. And I could already see Ayton and Smart starting to feel comfortable with their new team mates.
