Austin Reaves, the 24-year-old rookie for the Los Angeles Lakers, recently shared his initiation experience under the teaching of LeBron James and other seasoned players during his first year in the NBA. Unlike other rookies who often go through amusing and sometimes embarrassing initiation tasks, Reaves was relatively fortunate, receiving minimal rookie duties. He also mentioned that LeBron was quite undemanding and only asked him to get a Xbox remote, for which he was paid.
Despite his easy initiation, Reaves has emerged as a promising talent for the Lakers, especially in recent times. Fans are eagerly anticipating LeBron James’ return from injury, and the prospect of seeing Reaves playing alongside the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and legendary player is thrilling.
“To be honest, I didn’t really get much (rookie duties),” Reaves said. “I will say Rondo looked out. He was the one mostly asking me to go get stuff. He would hand me a couple of dollars when I got back. But, other than that, Bron’s actually real low-maintenance. I think he asked me one time to go get a Xbox remote, so I obviously did that. He gave me a couple of dollars, but they let me escape pretty good.”
Reaves’ performances on the court have caught the attention of both fans and analysts alike, despite the fact that he is only in his second year in the NBA. As he continues to hone his skills and make a name for himself in the league, it will be interesting to see how he meshes with LeBron and other established players.
While Reaves may have avoided some of the usual rookie duties that come with joining an NBA team, there’s no denying his value to the Lakers. As he continues to develop his talent and make significant contributions to the team, his future in the league looks bright.
