Austin Reaves: Undrafted NBA Star Story

Here are some fried facts (fun, crispy, and hot takes) about Austin Reaves, the rising NBA star:

�️ 'Hillbilly Kobe'

Reaves earned the nickname 'Hillbilly Kobe' for his smooth mid-range game and clutch shots, reminiscent of Kobe Bryant. He even wears No. 15 as a tribute (Kobe’s daughter Gianna wore No. 2, and 15 is the reverse).

🚜 From Small-Town Arkansas to the NBA

Reaves grew up in Newark, Arkansas (population: ~1,200), where he was a two-sport star in basketball and baseball. He originally committed to Wichita State before transferring to Oklahoma.

🎯 Undrafted to Lakers Hero

Despite going undrafted in 2021, Reaves signed a two-way contract with the Lakers. By 2023, he became a playoff standout, averaging 16.9 PPG in the Western Conference Finals and earning a 4-year, $54M contract.

🤠 'AR-15' Swagger

His nickname 'AR-15' (from his initials jersey number) became a fan favorite. Reaves leans into his underdog persona, saying, 'I’m just a country kid who loves to hoop.'

🧠 High Basketball IQ

Reaves is known for his crafty playmaking, foul-drawing skills (a la 'the Reaves Rip'), and clutch shooting. LeBron James once called him 'a kid that’s built for the moment.'

🎶 Country Boy with a Viral Moment

After a big game in 2023, Reaves was caught on camera blasting Morgan Wallen’s 'Country A$$ Shit' in the locker room—solidifying his small-town charm.

🌟 Team USA Call-Up

In 2023, Reaves was selected for Team USA’s FIBA World Cup squad, proving his rise from undrafted rookie to an internationally recognized player.

𝑜
0to54 Million

Reaves went from making $0 in NIL deals in college (due to NCAA rules at the time) to signing a multi-million dollar deal with Rigorer shoes in 2023.

🏀 Playoff Performer

In the 2023 playoffs, Reaves dropped 23 points in a closeout Game 6 vs. Memphis and hit multiple clutch shots against the Warriors, becoming a Lakers fan favorite.

🎤 Trash-Talking Opponents

Despite his humble demeanor, Reaves isn’t afraid to talk smack—reportedly telling Dillon Brooks during the playoffs, 'You’re too small!' before cooking him on the court.

Final Fry 🔥

Austin Reaves is proof that hard work > draft position, and his rise from rural Arkansas to NBA stardom is one of the league’s best underdog stories.
