Austin Reaves Hit With a Reality Check for Joining LeBron James’ “Avengers”, Days After Devin Booker Doubled Down on Team USA Stance

After Team USA’s disappointing exit from the FIBA World Cup, several reported suggested that LeBron James has shown interest in returning to the national squad. Importantly, he has also taken up the job of assembling a super team ahead of the 2024 Olympics. Moreover, big names like Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry are already involved in the conversation. Along with it, King James‘ recent wingman Austin Reaves opened up about his spot in the super team’s roster.

Even though the national side finished fourth in the WC, 25-year-old Austin Reaves proved his worth on the court. Reaves, along with Anthony Edwards, consistently performed throughout the tournament. But the important question is, will they get a spot in a team filled with superstars? Maybe the Los Angeles Lakers star’s newfound friendship with King James could come in handy. However, let’s find out what AR has to say for himself.

Austin Reaves opened up on LeBron James’ super team

Soon after the FIBA WC exit, The Athletic‘s Shams Charania reported that LeBron James has shown interest in forming a team ahead of the 2024 Olympics. Fans saw it as a superhero’s act to avenge his national team’s reputation in the international arena. One excited fan compared it the popular superhero film series Marvel’s Avengers. He wrote, “ironman assembling the avengers,” via social media.

Following that, many NBA superstars named tagged along in the formation of the “Avengers,” as the fans call it. However, in a recent interview with the ESPN, Austin Reaves expressed his wish to play for the team.

He said, “If I get that call to play, I’ll be the first one to say yes. But it’s not like I’m not realistic of myself.”

On the other hand, Phoenix Suns superstar Devin Booker reassured his participation in the Olympics.

A few weeks ago, when the NBA world went gaga about the super team, Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma dropped an interesting tweet regarding the roster.

The tweet read, “USA basketball better get some NBA stars that know how to play a role. Anybody can be nice with the ball in their hands but can you be cool with defending and going to the corner for a few possessions?”

While he dropped the reality check, D-Book was quick to respond it with, “I’ll do it.” Hence, he assured his spot in the super team.
