Rafael Reavis (born July 27, 1977) is a Filipino-American professional basketball player for the Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

Professional career

Reavis first played for the San Juan Knights in the Metropolitan Basketball Association in 2000.

After the Metropolitan Basketball Association folded in 2002, Reavis decided to apply for the 2002 PBA draft, where he was picked second overall by the Coca-Cola Tigers.

He had a good run during his time with the Tigers before being involved in one of the most controversial trades in PBA history. The trade involved Rudy Hatfield, Billy Mamaril, Aries Dimaunahan, and Ervin Sotto.

Barangay Ginebra traded Reavis, Paul Artadi, and the rights to 2009 eighth pick overall Chris Timberlake for Enrico Villanueva, Rich Alvarez, Celino Cruz, and Paolo Bugia of Purefoods. Burger King acted as the conduit team, trading Pocholo Villanueva to Ginebra and acquiring the rights to 2009 Rookie draft 18th pick Orlando Daroya and future picks.{{ cite news |title=PBA Trades that shocked the Philippine Basketball Community |url=http://basketb0ler0.blogspot.com/2011/09/pba-trades-that-shocked-philippine.html |work=Basketbolero.blogspot.com |date=September 13, 2011 |access-date= May 13, 2015 }}
