Pat McAfee Dislikes The JJ Redick Slander 😤😬

[ryank]

JJ is used to being hated, don’t think he cares at all. If anything this will just motivate him more

[itsdeltime]

I feel like JJ would EXCEL as a GM. Put it all together behind the scenes. Let the coaches deal with those egos on a day to day basis.

[donnysofree]

He’s not getting hated on cuz he’s jj, he’s getting hated on cuz he’s going to the lakers

[doctorkhumalo]

JJ is not bothered, I wish him nothing but the absolute best.

[JoshNBAMovies]

Bro hasn't even coached once and he hasn't even showed what he can do but people are already hating 😂

[MazharKebabs]

One- he’s used to the hate
Two - everyone gets scrutinized under the bron microscope

[redhorsepapi]

And Steve Nash was a 2 time MVP and recognized as one of the best point guards of his generation. Look where that got him. Idgaf about Jj making the playoffs 14 times.

Basketball genius, who said Larry Bird couldn’t play in today’s game

[taraland]

Stephen a Smith is his biggest hater, you know at some point he's going to say that a black man should have gotten the job

[margarinetaintedgreen]

It’s hard for me to consider a guy that calls Kareem Abdul-Jabber a “one-note wonder” and says Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, & Bob Petit were “plumbers & firemen” a “basketball savant.”
He knows the game. We can give him that.
“Savant” is a bit much.

Me being a black guy, I really think JJ is going to be a winner for this job. This is not the now job it's the after Lebron is gone job that excites me the most. Chess move people

[goatjames]

Good job Pat for pointing out the facts. You can see people like Stephen A subtly asking the Lakers to hire a black coach or a failed coach out of coaching jobs for many years over JJ. I think JJ will be a great coach. He'll start slow and then there's no stopping him

[jondoe]

I dont think hate is that right word..most people dont believe that he should be the head coach of LA.. he has never coached at any level so he doesnt have any experience..there are experienced coaches (assistant or head) that could have been a better fit. But hey thats who Lebron wanted so they hired him. Dont let the media fool you. LA (Lebron) was always going to hire him. All the other candidates they mentioned was just to keep the team in the news after they were eliminated from the playoffs. If they really wanted Dan Hurley from UCONN they would have offered him a real contract. Before the offer was made it was reported that Hurley was looking for around 100million ..so the lakers offered him 70mill for 6 years ..and then signed JJ for 32mill /4years. Either way LA has bigger problems than the coach.. if anything they should have waited for Lebron to opt in or extend before hiring JJ.

LeGM already interview him himself right off the bat on his podcast.
If LeGM said YES, it is a YES.

[PaulVisionLee]

After listening to JJ talk at press conferences (Lebron and me didn’t speak on this job, Bronny EARNED it) I realized he is going to be a great politician one day.

[Sodamachine]

The issue is its so obvious that lebron has been the decision maker everywhere he's been. I dont care who you are getting every coach fired and then hired and then fired again is a bad look. Lebron is the coach not JJ hes a puppet

[rjd.]

I agree with you Pat.😮 The problem in this world is that we keep hiring the same people to do the same jobs when innovation comes from hiring different people to do same job different.🎉😊

[jasonavery]

I get where Pat is coming from, however. Usually you start off at High School or Junior College level and work your way up to Pro Basketball Coach, especially the Lakers. Just because you’re a good player doesn’t make you a good coach.

[ricsarmiento]

It's easy to connect the dots. LEBRON informed JEANNIE BUSS of his approval of JJ REDICK coaching him and the LAKERS. NO BRAINER💡

[ballnshyt]

That’s G-shit having JJ’s back like that, good on ya Pat 👏
