    The clip where AR goes to his right against PHO, has 3 guys on him and throws it in with his left hand: 3 guys on him. Stunning!

    Dude is insane in clutch. Ever since that pre-season win 3 years ago (or was it summer league or smth?) ... to Mavs buzzer-beater.

    And the most important part -- he does it in many ways. Defense. Rebounding. Scoring in the final minutes.

    Such an asset. Should be paid twice his contract, really.

    This was a Lebron like superstar performance. Basically you can suck for most of the game but you have this extra gear that others just don't.

    Middleton was too smalling him, turning the ball over, getting his handle stripped in the first half

    Fourth quarter was unreal literally locked down Middleton and Lillard, got a s*** load of tough boards, and just hit big shot after big shot

    THis was Reaves best game as a Laker period.

    Unbelievable on BOTH ends...saw the Reaves from last year on the defensive end, locking up Dame and Middleton on multiple possessions, super impressive effort from this guy man.

    After AR's game in MIL, this just in from all reporters on the scene: he is indeed HIM. I repeat: Austin Reaves is HIM.

    Back to you in the studio.

    Reggie Miller, who called AR "Anthony Reaves" after a huge 3 with under 2 mins to go in regulation, says he'd like to see AD get a touch in that 2nd OT, and 1 second later AR just steps up and hits a Kobe-like dagger 3 to push MIL to the brink.

    This is a game I will watch again, but right now I'm too fatigued from it. How many times did AR fight for an offensive rebound or 2nd chance, knocked it out to D-Lo, who hit a 3? Three times? Four? Always clawing back. My lawd!

    Reggie not only doesn't know AR's name, he apparently doesn't even know AR's HIM!

    He was fantastic. Still amazes me he went undrafted and is now our starting SG having games like this where not only does he look like he belongs against the best teams in the league, but he thrives.

    The way he steps up his game in big moments may be my favorite thing about HIM. Just crazy how reliable he is in crunch time at his age and with his "history".

    And right before that, Spero Dedes referred to AR-15 as "Austin Rivers." :LLLLLebronlaughing:
