The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t get off to a good start last season.
The team didn’t gel well on the court, their fit was non-existent, and their personalities seemed to clash more often than not.
But things changed drastically after the trade deadline, and you could feel the camaraderie and overall good vibe in the locker room.
That’s also evident every time LeBron James has had to talk about Austin Reaves, as he’s always praised him for his work ethic and all the little things he does for the team.
James hyped him up on Twitter during Team USA’s lopsided win over Puerto Rico, and Reaves had nothing but the utmost respect for him as soon as he found out, via ClutchPoints.
“That’s my guy. I’ve learned a lot from him in the past two years. It feels good when he kind of validates that you can actually play. It’s been a special two years, and hopefully, we can go win a championship this year.”

Reaves talked about how close he’s grown to be with LeBron, stating that he’s learned so much from him over the past couple of years, and talking about how good it feels to be validated by one of the greatest players of all time.
Notably, Reaves grew up a diehard Kobe Bryant fan, and he even had some mean jokes about LeBron on social media, long before he even dreamed of playing in the NBA.
But life comes at you fast, and he’s now grown fond of James, who’s taken him under his wing and has had nothing but praise for him from day one.
Reaves is a rising star in this league, and he’ll continue to be so for as long as he keeps putting in the work and soaking up as much information as he can from every talk with LeBron.
