REPORT: After Jalen Johnson of the Hawks posterized Lakers, Austin Reaves of the Lakers had the ideal response.
After being victimized by a poster dunk during Monday night’s 136–105 Los Angeles Lakers victory over the Atlanta Hawks at Crypto.com Arena, Austin Reaves played the part of a good sport.
Jalen Johnson of Atlanta delivered a remarkable slam on a night when talk was centered around Minnesota Timberwolves player Anthony Edwards’ incredible dunk. Johnson rose for a fast-break dunk, but not before ramming his groin into Reaves’s face.
Reporter Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times questioned the Lakers guard about the play after the game. Reaves responded that everyone had already seen what had transpired, to which Woike remarked that nobody had seen it from his point of view, giving Reaves the opportunity for a well-timed joke.
“Nobody shares your perspective,” Woike nudged.
“You don’t want my opinion,” Reaves laughed in response.
Excellent work, Reaves. Although it’s true that nobody likes to be the subject of memes, the Lakers guard may find comfort in the knowledge that their team’s victory over Atlanta snapped a two-game losing streak.
