Austin Reeves fools everyone with a wild layup from behind
Austin Reaves made a funny climax during Los Angeles The Lakers match against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night.
Reaves is in his fifth NBA season with the Lakers. He worked his way up the ranks as he became one of the best guards in the league, transforming himself into one of the team’s top scorers.
Reaves continues to record highlights with his tricks on the offensive side of the ball. That was the case during the Lakers’ duel with the Clippers. The star guard drove into the paint while moving the ball behind his back as he successfully converted a wild reverse layout to the amazement of the local audience.
