Kinda sad he's giving up podcasting, bc he was great at it

I grew up with the Lakers when they played NEAR lakes... Minneapolis, for folks who don't know, but as a Bay Area resident I'm a very grateful Warriors fan. I wish JJ well, but I will SORELY miss his presence on YouTube where his interviews are the best around. Those conversations are wonderful. He is a fan and players easily relate given his resume. There are other retired players doing something similar but there isn't another JJ on the scene. I expect he'll have success but I don't imagine I'll be a Lakers fan again. (JJ would do well to emulate Steve Kerr who clearly had phenomenal success creating a culture of excellence. Of course, he has a very young, talented team to coach.)

Rob couldn’t even fix his hair for this press conference I hope that mean he not sleeping

"I really don't give a F#?k. Like honestly, I want to coach the Lakers. I want to coach the team. I don't want to dispel anything, I don't. I want to become a great coach in the NBA and I want to win Championships. And I want my players to maximize their careers. That's all I f'n care about" - COACHJJ. Motha F'n Redick

JJ had by far, the best podcast about basketball, it's sad that it's come to end.

Congratulations and happy birthday, JJ Redick. I'm an oldhead; when I think of the Lakers, I still think about Magic and Kareem. I haven't really been a Lakers fan through the years, but you have a good chance of changing that. I'll miss the Old Man & The Three, but I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with this team. Best of luck to you in this new season of your life.

Rob: wait, you learned from Doc?... hold on sec...

[jooyichen]

Rob : Its a very exciting day.
Me : Even kids style their hair better for a book report.

[SabrumBaker]

I’m actually excited lowkey! I trust JJ I don’t expect championship quickly but I do want to see progression and at least moving forward in getting this team to be as glued together and as smart as possible

[crtS]

If this blows up in our faces I want Rob gone.

[gmr]

Rob has that dumped a pail of water on my hair look going on!

[justjames]

I think we got us one boys go lakers go 💜💛

[aduad]

There goes LeBron's assistant coach!...Happy birthday JJ.

[SmittyWitTheVibes]

I’m sold on JJ. If Joe Mazulla can be competent then so can JJ.

[shauny]

Why can't we be happy for JJ Reddick? Everyone is extremely salty about this situation. A player turned NBA coach is not a new precedent.. Steve Kerr...Jason Kidd.. If anything, a proven NBA player as an NBA coach should be the standard. Just like how basketball podcasts are now being dominated by retired and/or current NBA players talking about basketball instead of "know-hows" like Stephen A smith, Skip etc.

[delanowilson]

You can read Rob palinka smile like I can't believe we pulling this off😂😂😂

[purinfluence]

Sounds a lot he’s going to coach like mazulla really playing into the analytics

[ksh]

Give jj a chance people hes our coach now im hoping he will surprise us all

[gottabedaryl]

As a JJ Reddick's podcast fan this is sad, I hope the Lakers don't trash him like they did on the previous coaches.

Known as a LA clippers player very interesting hire hope you do well JJ loved your game on the clippers
