Of his relationship with James, Reeves said: “In my rookie year, I was at home, playing golf with my friends. James sent me a message and when I saw James’ name on my phone, it was like, ‘Oh, what does James want? But my friend was different, he said to me, ‘You can pick up the phone any time you want, you can call James any time you want, and he will answer, and that in itself is crazy.’ ‘”

“Now that I think about it, it’s true, I come from a small place and James is such a famous star. Everyone in my hometown would always say to me, ‘What about James, what about James,’ and he was the best. A great teammate, a great person, a great friend. I am very grateful to him. He has helped me a lot.”
