Rob Parker - JJ Redick Should GET OFF FIRST TAKE if He Doesn't Like Hot Takes

THE ODD COUPLE - Chris Broussard & Rob Parker react to JJ Redick's comments, ripping fans for going crazy over his Doc Rivers comments and not being all that into his basketball breakdown video. Rob rips JJ for these comments and believes he should leave First Take if that bothers him so much.

My problem with JJ is that these player podcasters are way too nice about every player in the league because they never want to hurt the feelings of a “peer”… but now JJ wants to switch up and act like he’s always giving his honest analysis, that’s simply not true and he knows it deep down. I watched his pre-season analysis of all 30 NBA teams and he said nothing negative about ANY of them, that’s simply ignoring the fact that about half the teams get worse every season, how is that analysis?

Or ... Or ... it's reverse psychology, the whole point was to toss out a crazy hot take 🤣

[@olioco]

They’re taking this clip out of context … Steven A said players like bron and KD should be sharing their basketball knowledge instead of criticizing the media… and JJ said people don’t wanna hear basketball knowledge

[@MROOOZZZZZ]

JJ is straight hustling. What JJ Reddick is really trying to do is put himself in position to become a future NBA head coach who doesn't have any head coaching experience or assistant coaching experience that's no different than Mark Jackson and Steve Kerr who both were hired by the Golden State Warriors who both had zero head coaching experience or assistant coaching experience. JJ Reddick is only using ESPN, being a NBA game announcer and a regular member of " First Take" (he could care less) so he can be shown and seen by NBA team owners as a smart basketball analyst so he can be hired by a NBA team as soon as possible, that's why he's always talking breakdown technical basketball and analytics instead of just the usual basketball fluff and bluster that everyone else does and when the NBA season ends, JJ will put himself in position to get interviewed for the many vacant head coaching positions that's going to be available.

[@cchampaine179]

I agree

[@tkbaku3036]

People want to hear break down of the game. We do not want to hear what Charles has to say about other stuff

[@sharkelly1]

I would love to see Rob on first things first!

[@furryweeber8711]

Put jj and austin rivers on a panel together that would be money

[@j5daniel182]

DUDE, WAS THAT MICHAEL JACKSON ON THE PHONE? He's into sports betting? hahaha

[@t-god2439]

I really wish there was a way to watch all those old shows some are on KZbin but not all of them

[@user-Calrulk55]

Its hot takes why people are no longer watching the so called anylasts, when they can tune into their Favorite youtuber who are real die hard fans of the game. You guys are Blockbuster, its almost time.

[@jaypeevillanueva2000]

Doc being fired is not him having accountability. It’s just the result of his poor performance. I think JJ means Doc not having accountability is during interviews. Doc tends to blame his players when they were losing. I remember he was blaming Ben Simmons instead of guiding him.

[@ndbobby1]

I love JJs analysis. I learn so much and notice and understand things when I watch games.

[@jewel6799]

I love his analysis. Not liking his take is not a good reason to critize and bash his personal character. Was he wrong about Doc Rivers?

[@daltonburnett7181]

Has Doc rivers really been held accountable by the MEDIA? If so how does someone who hasnt won since the original big 3 won in boston keep getting these amazing jobs? JJ is telling people how can you be suprised about how this is going to go, when we have seen this for 15 years from doc rivers??? Wheres the hot take from the media except for pushback on him getting the coaching role at the all star game nobody cares about.

[@roscoedash6673]

This is one of your best segments in a long time.

[@LeveledHeadGamer]

You all got this all wrong.. SAS said that he wanted to see Durant & Lebron them break down the game more, and JJ was responding by saying thats not KD & Lebrons' job its the analyst job.. then SAS spent the narrative

[@marcusjenkins8980]

The fact that a Fox podcast is talking about JJ on another network proves the success having him on First Take is a success.

[@dylanryan8241]

Held accountable and personal accountability are not the same thing

[@metimetalk]

JJ is right. Why I stopped watching hot take shows years ago.

[@zj4008]

Man I’m definitely one of the fans that guys JJ or Dan Orlowsky and other guys try to reach with their in depth analysis of football or basketball. However if you’re on tv you gotta understand the target audience. If 80% of the audience wants hot takes and opinions while the other 20% want the deep breakdowns you gotta cater to the majority.

[@kid100music3]

JJ is a great basketball analyst, one of the best working today but when he's on other platforms, he always seems very annoyed by others takes. Maybe he should just stick to his own platform with guests who agree with him more.

[@deancain1069]

Personally, I’m a fan of all the players doing podcasts and actually breaking down plays vs analysts give hot takes just for views. The Odd Couple is the only show in the hot take format I listen to. And for as much as I enjoy Shannon Sharpe, I can’t watch him on First Take because the show is a joke. I watch his KZbin though because he’s hilarious.

[@mikehodge4305]

Rob Parket out here flossing his teeth at the 16min mark. lol

[@masmirage]

How many times is Chris Broussard going to floss during these clips??

[@devinmoose]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😚

[@Dames529]

I don't need to know how it was made lol line of the day 😅😂

[@heydindelapaz3505]

What you’re saying is, people like to be dumb and as soon as they hear something smart they clock out. That is an actually sad statement. The giving in to that feeling, playing and saying things that “ the common people” understand and wanna hear.

[@Xan3ddd]

I appreciate the ins and outs of learning basketball and learning and listening to the technicalities, especially as a casual who never played the game at a high level The uninformed "hot take shows" are entertaining, a bit, but has fizzled out over time for me, because thats all it is, hot takes. I much rather the former

[@1Jmil]

Can y’all break down JJ’s comments on Doc and not all the unnecessary stuff. The media has been babying Doc for yearsssss.

[@DEVILxFRUIT]

This is why JJ should just continue to call games on the sidelines. He is extremely knowledgeable. But media is different.

[@joeymanny]

jj is trash, did you even hear how he trash great jerry west and larry bird because his love of his current peers

[@rawbebaba]

I mean I have enjoyed some in depth break downs which have made me see more when I watch the games, but mostly yeah I just tune in to hear what people are saying about this and that, what kind of broad narratives are out there things like that.

[@kjo2130]

Rob is the exact person JJ be talking about lol

[@a-wat2377]

Complete "PAUSE" at 5:25 😭⚰️☠️ ... Kid wants that "HARD ROLL" 😂

[@Legendary_Twan]

JJ statement was taken out of context. He was responding to SAS saying how KD doesn't educate fans on basketball when they attack him. JJ was basically saying fans don't wanna be educated.

[@njb2111]

A hit dog will holler lmao. How about invite him onto your platform and keep that same energy instead of coming off as envious of a fellow sports analyst.

[@octoeight2088]

Is it just me or did that first caller Keith from D.C. sound like Shannon Sharpe from L.A.? 😂

[@abjustdoit1294]

Y’all took a clip of a conversation about somethin completely different and made it about the doc rivers thing cuz he referenced it for one second. He wasn’t complaining about how ppl feel about his doc take y’all funny

[@Nandoswitharando]

The fact that we’re arguing FOR mindless “analysis” INSTEAD of real analysis is a sign of the times. Shame on us

[@itshiho]

I would never let these fools try and educate me on basketball when they've all been paid by Klutch Sports to say LeBron is #1 or #2 all time when Kobe was better than him.

[@Ben2bwild]

Facts. All these guys have become Klutch guys even Gilbert Arenas

[@sugahillind]

I love y'all show guys

[@jacobhughes9010]

As a basketball coach sure you can break the game down in details about what actions certain sets/match ups get, but the majority of people don’t care. Which is why for people who really know basketball the better way to break the game down for less knowledgeable people is to discuss what those actions led to. Example you can do a video on why they got the actions with Zion handling the ball, but the easier way for people to get it is to say hypothetically because Zion who is matched up with more Bigs is playing on the perimeter it allows them to get bigger defenders in space outside where he can take advantage of his speed and quickness in those match ups easier. (I haven’t watched them play so I can’t tell you what they have been getting from that shift, I just used that as a hypothetical scenario as an example) That break the game down in a detailed way about what is happening without using coach speak that most people don’t understand or care to understand. The way I look at it as a coach of junior high and high school is how can I explain to parents what happened that gave us our result without literally having to coach the parent on every aspect of what we’re doing. Now as for doc, I think he for a long time was overrated, he’s a good coach who for a long time was treated as a great coach. But I also disagree with JJ on his take that doc always makes excuses several times on the bill simmons podcast I heard him explain things he tried to do that looking back was the wrong move. I think Austin rivers had the perfect, for someone who supposedly didn’t take accountability he seems to always lose his job and take the blame. Doesn’t exactly add up. And the other point Austin rivers had that was fair was why didn’t JJ take the accountability all those years in LA to actually defend at a high level so that in crunch time they were able to have their floor spacer in the court…

[@henrylowery3297]

JJ is by far the best sport analyst out there. His knowledge, objectivity, and authenticity are unmatched.
