Lakers: Austin Reaves Autographs a Very Unique Item for a Fan
In this story:
Typically, professional athletes autograph hats, jerseys, and shirts for adoring fans. Lakers rookie Austin Reaves however recently signed an interesting item for a Lakers fan.
In a video posted by Jomboy Media, Reaves is seen signing a rice cooker. The fan explains that he’s going to bring it to family gatherings.
It was clearly a first for Reaves. The Lakers guard even asks if he should use a different permanent marker to ensure his signature is legible.
The Lakers signed Reaves to a two-way contract last August, but the 23-year-old’s inspired play led to LA converting him to a standard NBA contract in September.
Reaves is averaging 5.8 points per game, 2.7 rebounds per game, and is shooting 46.3% from the field in his rookie season.
Those numbers aren’t exactly eye-popping, but the box score doesn’t capture the defense and energy that Reaves brings on a nightly basis.
It’s early in his career, but Reaves should get used to fans asking for his autograph. Even for kitchen appliances.
