    “Weirdly athletic” = white guy

    Dude is in the league because he’s athletic, not because he’s the image of a standard white guy 3 point camper.

  2. LanceTheKnapper

    Would you maybe call it….sneaky athletic????

  3. keepon18

    Shades of Caruso’s putback on the Warriors if it was a dunk

  4. Due_Connection179

    It’s only “weirdly athletic” because he’s white lol this looks like a normal put back by wings.

    OP you are going to get flamed because “weirdly athletic” is going to be perceived as synonymous with “sneaky athletic.”

    However, I do see your distinction here. The play itself is weird. Fumbling a putback in mid air, swapping the ball to the other hand, and then actually doing the putback is a weird play. It’s not “sneaky” it’s odd due to the mid air fumble.

    It does require athleticism, but maybe it’s not a word necessary here? Though the play is both athletic and odd. It’s not that Reaves is athletic and that is odd.

    Many on here will say it’s racist without understanding the distinction. The word athletic maybe isn’t needed, but it is an athletic play so đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

    He changed hands because the lunch pail was in his left hand already and he wanted to dunk with his right.

  7. WetShots

  10. Huge-Split6250

    One might say “deceptive”

  11. mehipoststuff

    glad we get to see this role player everyday on this sub do things 95% of the league can do

  12. Dudes a professional athlete who is 6’5 who still barely put that in. In the context of being an nba player that was not athletic in the slightest lol

  13. nihilistweasel

    Confirmed, Reaves better than Jordan

  14. cskoogs1

    Were you afraid to type “whitely athletic”?

  15. giraffesbluntz

  16. two4gone

  18. NCHouse

    So if we win FIBA can we call ourselves the world champs or does someone else have a problem with it?

  19. tragedy_of_97

    as soon as I saw you out weirdly athletic I knew.

  20. Inevitable-Tourist18

    Sneaky athletic…a gym rat. A lunch pail kind of guy. First guy in, last guy out. Plays the right way, high BB IQ. Scrappy. Could date my daughter. Plays like a coach’s son Knows his role. Fundamentally sound.

  21. HappyHunt1778

    Imagine naming your country after an athlete and then sucking at that dudes sport

    Lol!!

  22. slapchop15

  23. KaseyOfTheWoods

    Man, this sub fucking blows. Not your post OP, all the responses.

  24. husbandofsamus

    Jordan didn’t have Pippen. Didn’t expect for them to win.

  25. kickinwood

    Everyone making the white joke and I was just wondering why we were running the score up on Tencent.

  26. drevil7171

    Is “weirdly athletic” the same as when reporters say a black athlete is articulate?

  27. RileyR1des

    “Up next on Undisputed, should the Lakers rely on an Austin Reaves/Anthony Davis pick and roll offense in crunch time this season and sub LeBron for more spacing and shooting?”

  28. jaypr4576

    That was a scrappy, high IQ, sneaky athletic move.
