Austin Reaves Became an Incredibly Funny Music Meme After Lakers Game 2 Loss to Nuggets

This is the best meme of the NBA playoffs.

The Lakers find themselves down 2–0 to the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals after Thursday night’s Game 2 loss on the road. 

And do you know what everyone was talking about after the game? Austin Reaves’s messy hair. O.K., maybe not everyone was talking about, but it definitely became one of the funniest memes of the NBA playoffs. 

The Lakers guard had a big night, finishing with 22 points, which tied LeBron James for the team high. But it’s what he did after the game by just showing up at a press conference that will be remembered forever.
