[@cantelope1567]

Can say what you want, but JJ impressed in his introduction

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

"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

[@Trap323a]

I’m glad JJ got the job.. ex player and knows the X’s and O’s… semi shooting coach as well😂😂 tired of the same old coaches getting passed around

[@rambo8132]

JJ Redic is a smart guy , he will do good

[@renelopez5328]

jj has a brilliant NBA IQ, he has so much upside I see a lot Riley in him, he looks the part and I love his personality, didn't care at all F-Bombing the female reporter.

[@ernestntreh9632]

I don't care if jj succeds or not all I care about is passing de celtics in titles won

[@travesotom6890]

JJ sounds really impressive he reminds me of Riley in his demeanor not saying he will be successful as Riley but he has a high basketball ball IQ, I think Laker fans need to have a open mind and don’t listen to the negative sports media that we live in 😎

[@genevieverudd7911]

Impressive Introduction.. Lakers Finally have someone that understands Development, Communicating a Competitive Culture and Expectation of Accountability to Have Success..Impressive.high IQ..Go Lakers

[@tracyhall6195]

..LOL. . . The question and strong 🔥 answer by JJ at the 42:00 mark ! 🤬 🙀 😅

[@michaelpaul7040]

What is the difference between being "supportive" vs. being "involved?"

[@Wick9876]

It's the difference between "I trust you guys, you've got this" and "yeah, he's interesting. Where does that leave the other guy". The third alternative would be feeling pushed out of the process and unhappy.

[@gwright9665]

I’m not a JJ Redick fan but bleed purple and gold Laker fan and for that reason want him to do well!!

[@RickBatalla-nv8ux]

Alright today we are learning Defense. Everyone open your apps.

[@l0velakers]

chak de JJ!

[@nw7133]

I d believe much more if Byron Scott, Luke Walton, Rambis, Rudy T, Mike Dunleavy, Mike Brown and even D’Antonio if they come back.

[@345power6]

Rob and JJ look like half brothers.. Same Dad different mom

[@rjjohn2241]

I think u cracked the code .

[@tracyhall6195]

JJ definitely got the superior hair genes. 👦 ..lolz. 😂

[@angelovergara]

What's up with all the empty seats? I got a good feeling about JJ.

[@alexamerling79]

JJ has won me over.

[@lriar21]

chak de JJ!

[@RickBatalla-nv8ux]

He learned coaching in 2 1/2 months from Rick Carlisle. He's ready.

[@RickBatalla-nv8ux]

two questions first press conference and he's sighing already. Oh boy

[@tracyhall6195]

Seems like a personal..not even 'nervous',, tick ..if anything at all. Chill. 🤖

@@tracyhall6195 Yeah.

[@Vickb22]

Hey Pelinka here’s a hint you want this to work then trade away the diva that got rid of the young core and that couldn’t work with the previous 4 coaches. If you’re too dumb to figure out who it is it’s Lebron James

[@JakuVlogs]

Hey Vick, he ain't reading this😂

[@DEIONSANDERSCOLORADOFAMILY21]

They actually agreed to do it ...so you make no sense you want him to fire himself too .did you cry about the ring also

[@Vickb22]

@@DEIONSANDERSCOLORADOFAMILY21 who’s firing themselves? I want Reddick to workout Lebron is the main problem and this team isn’t going forward as long as he’s still here.

[@nw7133]

From a guy who has never managed a time out. Led a roster, disciplined a knucklehead or load managed. NBA is more than Xs and Os especially if Bron is really the boss on the bench. Calling Coach K for help once Bron throws him under the bus. It sounds good, it won’t be pretty.

[@holidayarmadillo8653]

You had your mind made up on this before the press conference started 😂

[@PensFan35]

That’s true and I agree with you that this fit will be made or broken by the players response to JJ as a person. But I will also say that being a former player helps in this case. Time will tell.

[@JerseyMikeTV]

U crazy if u don’t think being a critical part of teams for 15 years let’s u watch and be a part of everything u listed. Not to mention. That’s why u hire a good staff around u. U kinda sound like a hater. Maybe I’m wrong. You’d be more accurate saying he doesn’t have experience with off the court stuff. Cause everything u listed off is on the court related.

[@nw7133]

Yes bc even Darvin Hams and all the previous Laker press conferences for years have sounded positive and mushy with a vision for the future. Gotta show me before you tell me with this guy.

[@PensFan35]

@@nw7133 I don’t disagree.

[@LAlingo]

I worry about Pelinka’s GM duties compiling a roster that mirrors success over hiring a good head coach. Rob has made many terrible decisions with the Lakers roster

[@renelopez5328]

I agree brother but if somehow they can stay healthy, they just can't stay healthy and it's been a major issue.

[@travesotom6890]

Exactly, drafting JHF instead of Jaquez was a blunder 😂

[@tracyhall6195]

​@@travesotom6890 ..['Jalen Hood-Schifino']... .meh. ... "Juan Wick" will more than likely flame out, and become an NBA non-entity. 🥱 😴

[@TheTruehearts112]

the roster isn't bad, we just need more bigs to get pass Denver...we cld of beat Minnesota and Dallas...Maybe Boston

[@lb89148]

Too cocky and arrogant. Not gonna work out-players aren't gonna like him

[@345power6]

🤣

[@holidayarmadillo8653]

I didn’t know you was in the locker rooms w the players 😂😂😂

[@holidayarmadillo8653]

U cool w Bron like dat? 😂

... # Clueless Speculation 🙄 🐩💩

[@travesotom6890]

I rather have a cocky arrogant coach than a weak passive one 😂😆
