“Been There a Million Times”: Austin Reaves Reveals Secrets on LeBron James’ Mindset During the Specific Part of the NBA Season

Things were looking good for the Lakers last season as they defeated the Warriors in the Conference semi-finals. Spirits were high as they geared up to square off against the Nuggets for the Western Conference Finals. However, they did not stand a chance as they lost 4-0 against the now reigning NBA Champions and had to bid adieu to their playoff run.

When it comes to the playoffs, it is common knowledge that the games become more intense and the players are locked in more than ever. The Lakers’ young star Austin Reaves shares his experience of being in the playoffs with LeBron, and it is exactly what one would expect.

It is all about the attention to details

As Reaves admits, he realized that attention to every single game in the playoffs matters, and he learned this from King James himself. In a recent episode of The Old Man and The Three episode, hosted by former NBA star JJ Redick, the 25-year-old shared, “Having Bron in your corner you know helps, uh just because he’s you know, been there a million times. He’s played in all those games but you can tell as soon as the playoffs rolls around, like him and AD, their attention to everything is, it’s laser focus.”
