I’m not a huge JJ Redick fan and didn’t like his attitude towards Kendrick Perkins however y’all are all dropping the ball. Nepotism happens everyday in cooperate American especially amongst our white counterparts. The one time a powerful black athlete uses his power to get the guy he wants coaching him, everyone is in outrage. My only pushback is that JJ Redick has been a player on various teams and I’m sure he was a sponge for knowledgeable and student of the game. He was a player of the year in college , A high draft pick, one of the best shooters of Alltime so I think he’s more qualifying then any “coach” who hasn’t played the game. A player knows the game way better then any person who hasn’t played at a high level.

History proves that most role players make the best coaches. Phil Jackson, KC Jones, Rick Carlisle, Pat Riley, Steve Kerr and Rudy Tomjonovich to name a few. Some winning coaches never played in the pros. Chuck Daly, Malone, Popovich, Vogel, Spoelstra, Nick Nurse, Budenholzer . It’s possible.

Its possible, but unlikely because of how things are with the current Lakers team. Its better for JJ to start his coaching career elsewhere, with a young squad and low expectation where he can build up the team and taking time to implement the coaching style.

@@mkingadiffernce never said for sure , but the dudes not a dumb guy lol . Didn’t last in the league off athleticism. They tried to get a better coach and couldn’t .

His biggest challenge is going to be trying to put together a coaching staff. There are a lot of assistant coaches in the NBA who have been waiting for an opportunity.

Yall clearly don’t know what yall talking about just stick to football just because jj has no experience doesn’t mean he not the right choice if you actually watch mind of the game you would know how smart jj is when it comes to know what plays to run in different situations

[@doc_adams8506]

What they haven't mentioned yet is that the Lakers roster, which did not make the top six in the Western Conference last year, has not significantly changed.

[@Skiandthstswatitis]

Boy if they win everybody going be on their 🥩. Mark my words

@Skiandthstswatitis lakers are done winning.

[@Eric.T.Rogers]

29 teams did not win last year. JJ coached none of them. 29 coaches were losers last year. Championship or Bust is the fallacy, not giving JJ the opportunity. This commentary, with 3/4 of these grown men laughing at another professionals resume, career aspiration and willingness to let others paint a bullseye on him is poor form gentlemen.

[@davidlowe4889]

When you have Anthony Davis and Lebron James on your roster, realistic or not, it is championship or bust!

Acho spot on take.

JJ is proof of the power of the complexion for the connection…😂

[@scratchpenny]

Except it was Lebron, who got him that job. It's actually more proof about who you know than race. JJ Redick was a 15-year NBA veteran who worked for ESPN and did a podcast with Lebron. He was connected to all the right people.

[@taydowns7207]

It's not just The lakers chose JJ No other coaches wanted to join them

[@soulbliz]

Jason Tatum/Jaylen brown are drafted pick year 2016/2017. Boston show us that they succeeded to win champs with their own draft pick. I finally admit our Lakers organization need to do something different.

[@tedmich]

James Jones is GREAT at this stuff!

[@algill5079]

Best thing about this is that now JJ gotta walk the walk. We know he can talk it. Especially when he went at Doc Rivers… now he gets to show the world what he can do

[@Cts_99]

They hating. Jj one of the best college players ever, coached by the GOAT. In the league forever and a genius.. he put all that work in.

[@ronaldoalbano1270]

watching leblame and tactless reddick in one team??? ... this is going to be a battle of throwing under the bus 🤣🤣🤣

[@agelessfitnessclubpodcast]

I don’t understand why all of these media heads care more about how they feel than the fact that this is what the Lakers want to do and no one has to take them serious. It’s their organization and they can do whatever they wanna do. If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. Won’t be the first head coach that hasn’t worked out for a major team. Everybody said this about Eric Spoelstra in Miami.

[@isaaclopez9321]

The difference between Nash and JJ is that the stars didn’t respect Nash coming in. Lebron has respect for JJ and with him supporting JJ the rest of the team will fall in line.

[@KeltonAlexander]

Pat Riley had what experience before he became Lakers coach?

[@rik4369]

Riley inherited a GREAT team with multiple HOFers. Additionally, the GOAT ( Jabbar) and greatest Point Guard in league history Magic Johnson. Riley, didn't have e to anything but stay out of the way. Not the same with the current Lakers Roster. It is a pure dumpster fire. This will be Luke Walton 2.0.

[@DylGonZo]

I get this is a sports show, but please stop talking basketball. For the sake of all of your viewers. PLEASE. Acho is very uneducated thinking JJ Reddick had a podcast and that was it. As if he hasn’t been around the league since retiring doing media, job interviews for other HC jobs, etc. Acho needs to shut up, respectfully. He knows NOT what he talks about.
