While Kevin Durant underestimated Reaves, what the Suns star says of LeBron surprises

Austin Reaves has been the NBA sensation this summer following his meteoric rise after the breakout season he had with the purple and Gold. Reaves is entering his year 3 and Kevin Durant has now been hard on the guard saying Austin can't guard him.

“Anytime you have someone as talented as KD on the court, it’s cool for me to just watch in the moment. He has a midrange fadeaway on me and they ended the half and then did the too small (gesture). We was talking during one of the timeouts and he hold JO (Jordan Ott) one of the coaches, he was like, ‘Don’t have him guard me next week!’ “I was like, ‘Bro, what am I supposed to do?’" Said Reaves on the post-game presser.

Austin continued “There’s nobody who’s done this…I don’t know how many years he’s been in the league. You can’t block it. You can’t really contest cause he leans back in his natural shooting motion and he kicks his leg out a little bit, so if you really contest it’s a foul. It’s a problem. But like I said, anytime you share the floor with someone of that caliber and then obviously going to war every night with Bron it’s just good for the game for them two to be back on the court together. They’ve competed against each other in Finals for a long time now, so you gotta appreciate those moments cause both of them won’t play forever.”

It's evident that while Austin Reaves has become a great player he is miles away from Kevin Durant as there really aren't many players that can credibly contest Durant's famous jumper, though Reaves did his best to at least stay close.

While Kevin Durant was hars on Reaves, KD spoke highly of James but with a catch

Kevin Durant praised sharing the floor with LeBron James, even as rivals but also threw him a shot about his retirement and the short time James left in the league. “It’s always dope being on the floor with one of the best to ever do it, top five best to ever do it. It’s an honor. I know we both getting up there. It might be towards the end of this little back and forth, but it’s always good to get some moments on the floor with him.”
