LeBron James Made Austin Reaves Question His NBA Career During Training Camp

Austin Reaves once doubted his place on an NBA court after being pushed to his limits by LeBron James' relentless work ethic during training camp. Reaves recalled, “The only time I ever thought I didn't belong on a basketball court was in training camp... He hit like four baseline fadeaways, and I was like, ‘Alright, there's nothing I can do.’ It pi**ed me off.” Despite initially hating LeBron due to his loyalty to Kobe Bryant, Reaves now credits James for his growth. LeBron’s tough love fueled Reaves’ determination, and today, Reaves is thriving with a $50 million contract, proving his place in LA.
