“Go win this for us”: LeBron James sheds light on increasing trust in Los Angeles Lakers teammate Austin Reaves

The Los Angeles Lakers legendary forward LeBron James has talked about how teammate Austin Reaves gained his trust in the recent past.

Both players have been a regular part of the Lakers side over the last few seasons and played a key role in the team’s success this season as well.

James, while talking in the Mine The Game podcast, talked about how Reaves managed to gain his trust in the previous campaign, something that has been very valuable for him.

“Obviously, last year, in the [Grizzlies] series, [Austin Reaves] gained a lot of trust from me. But also I trusted him to make the plays… Just was like, AR, go win this for us.”

Reaves is having a decent campaign for the Lakers where he is contributing 16.1 points per game which is the fourth-best by a player for the franchise in the ongoing campaign. To go with that, he is also contributing 4.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

On the other hand, James is having another fabulous season on a personal level where he is contributing 25.3 points per game, the best by any Lakers player in the ongoing campaign. To go with that, he is also contributing 7.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game.
