Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves shared a lighthearted story about his grandmother’s protective reaction to a heated on-court exchange with teammate LeBron James . Reaves recalled the moment during an appearance on The Young Man & The Three podcast.

“We’ve had a couple instances of where, you know, we've went at each other,” Reaves said. “My grandma one day was so mad at him. She was like, ‘If he yells at you like that one more time…’ I was like, ‘Mama, it’s okay.’ Like your kids, my mother, your daughter has yelled at me way worse than that. So, it’s fun. It was fun.”

Reaves added that James’ leadership style allows room for accountability and pushback, something that helped him early in his career.

“That’s also a good thing about him. You can go back at him,” Reaves said.
