He was a decent player. Then a decent podcaster. Then a head coach for one of the biggest franchises in sports. Does it make sense? No, of course not. But someone liked his personality. So I guess we all have to accept this reality.
I like JJ, he's got a great mind for the game. He was never a super athlete but he competed really hard, didn't make tons of mistakes and played the game the right way. Spolstra started in the video department and he's become an awesome coach.
@@nbassasin8092 strictly speaking, anyone who makes it to the league is a great athlete. The usual connotation of the word super athlete would be attributed to a LeBron or Jordan. What I was getting at was that he never RELIED on his athleticism to get to the league but instead had to be mentally stronger than most of the league to make his place. Which is a good sign when considering what makes a good coach. Typically, super athletes tend to struggle teaching the game because it's hard to do what a super athlete can do if you're not one. Not all of course.
@@brandonbottass oh I see, my bad I do agree with most of what you said, and you are right about him not relying on his athleticism, and generally him being below average NBA player when it comes to just physicality and being athletic but "super athlete" IMO is anyone who spends decent amount as part of the main rotation in the NBA, not just those who are among greatest players of all time from 6th man on team upwards, everyone is super atlete, sometimes even 7th and 8th man, because that is essentially only the 1% of 1% of 1% of all basketball players, no need to make it even more narrow
"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
“you have to enjoy it though, the pursuit of greatness cant be miserable” i love that line from JJ, but also loved everything else he was saying, so much potential as a head coach, and seems very aware of how the media works and stories are pushed, super happy to have you as Head Coach of THEE Los Angeles Lakers JJ! 🕺🏽💛💜
I think jj analytical style of mind of the game....is gonna help tremendously ...I'm excited to see who he chooses to fill out the coaching bench......and im anxious to see who they draft and trade.
Byron Scott happened, Mitch kupchak happened, Mike dantoni happened, Luke Walton happened, & signing LeBron James happened. Realistically everything went back to the way it was once magic stepped down as GM role. He was doing good too. But yk Jeanie and her family are gossipers. She needs to sell the team or step down!
Humility is the path to greatness, because there is no pretending, but a genuine awareness of ones skill set, coupled with a disciplined work ethic will lead to overcoming obstacles and success
He's so happy, you can see him constantly trying to hold back from smiling the whole time. This is the best thing to happen to Lakers fans in a long time whether he ends up being a good coach or not. Hes just so happy to be doing it.
Says nothing to me. I mean it's a great position to have and I wish him all the best. I was pleasantly surprised of how he handled the whole press conference and the questions. I believe he can do some decent work, however the largest obstacle is the lack of resources with the Lakers. They cannot improve as a team and their best two players cannot drive the team for 82 regular season games.
As a lakers fan, I couldn’t be more excited to have someone like JJ in the franchise. His confidence and knowledge will get us so far.. This is just beginning for you JJ!!
To see everything that went into getting this opportunity from the moment you became a media personality is incredible, looking forward to seeing this chapter JJ, were rooting for you and everything you do
The underrated part of this signing is JJ’s support system which includes Coach K. Coach Redick have him at his disposal kinda like what Kobe was to other players. A mentor. He can ask him questions, for advice, schemes, managing minutes, managing star players and personalities, literally anything. Not to mention, he has LeBron and AD’s support and soon, his coaching staff. A great mind and a great communicator rarely goes hand in hand. Coach Redick has both of these gifts and will definitely help him in his coaching career.
@@Roadrunnerz45 agreed. But he could go as Steve Kerr, or Ty Lue. Nash didn’t have the same circumstances as coach Redick has right now. And that goes both ways as well. Nash started as a player development coach. Coach Redick has yet to coach at any level up until now.
@@hmrhuang yes and I totally agree that USA olympic teams are more star-packed than any Laker roster at any given time. All Im saying is that experience may help managing PERSONALITIES and EGOS alone. Experience is invaluable. And Coach Redick has someone who has that experience. That’s all I’m saying.
@@hmrhuang and coach K also managed a collegiate team most notably Duke right? A lot of players also went from Duke to the NBA that had/still having great careers. He’s NOT just an olympic coach and personality manager. With all due respect.
I hate to say this but Jason Kidd was a hell of a player back in the day and it took a while and getting fired to get to where he is right now as a successful head coach with the mavs. I think there is going to be a bit of a learning curve for him.
Reddick will most likely struggle quite a bit and/or fail completely, as almost everyone does, but comparing him to Kidd is silly. Kidd was miles better as a player, but he's also clearly quite a bit less intelligent than Reddick. Kerr was also a role player and look what he's done. That's a much better comparison.
Good luck JJ. Inspiring to watch your development. Lessons in there for everyone to follow their passion and the balls to follow it through. Going to miss the podcasts.
@@Syhbw LeBron is "supportive" but not "involved" in the hiring process, yet they are "friends" and have a podcast together. What a joke! Jerry West is rolling in his grave with this hire.
JJ is super smart, a solid NBA veteran, college phenom, been coached by some great coaches, and had long NBA career. I think he could do well. Steve Kerr did the same leap and he did pretty well...
I agree. It will either work out well, or it will not work out well. We will have to see. Like everything in life, we don't know exactly how something will play out until that thing actually happens. We can make all the predictions we want--and those predictions can be optimistic or pessimistic--but we actually have to wait until the thing happens to find out how the thing happens. To cite an example, I might say, "It is going to rain tomorrow", but in actuality, I have to **WAIT** until the next day to see if my initial statement was correct. So, yes, I agree with you, let's see how this works out for the Lakers.
@@SchnitzelCFC I am ecstatic to see that, as of now, at least twenty-eight people have "liked" the original comment, indicating that I am not the only one who believes that we will not know how this will play out until it plays out.
Even if you’re not a fan of the JJ hiring at least let the man prove himself before y’all count him out.. Loved his energy, let’s go JJ let’s go LakeShow!
I agree wasn’t the biggest fan of the hiring but he showed great class during this interview and said some very compelling things and showed passion and heart so he definitely has potential hope it all works out
Congrats JJ!!! You worked so hard to be where you're at today. Your love for the game and how you share it is one of your greatest strengths. I can't wait to see how you connect with your players, the success you've had will most certainly follow you on this new career path. You are one of my goats JJ thank you for making one of the best basketball podcasts ever and sharing your brilliant basketball knowledge❤❤❤❤
I believe in JJ...very intelligent, confident, good communicator and high basketball IQ and passion for the game like Lebron I'm very excited to see the Lakers play this year till somewhere in june '25 😉 You got to give it to JJ, what he does now is really unbelievable...he's surfing the wave of succes....love it I root for him
My favorite background quality of JJ is that he was the most hated guy in his NCAA days, yet he continued to cook. Had to transition into a role guy on the pro level, but he made the most of it without letting his ego get the best of him. He's head strong and won't let noise distract him. Now how good of a coach he is will have to be seen, but he has the character to stand up to the pressures.
Facts bro people are saying the media and fans are gonna eat him alive like he wasn’t enduring some of the most foul fan treatment in the history of sports when he was in his low-20s.
When JJ was at Duke for 4 years he ended as one of the best college basketball players of all time. When he retired after 15 years in the NBA, he ended as one of the best shooters of all time. When JJ is done coaching, he will be known as one of the best coaches of all time. When he is put in a position to be great, he exceeds expectations. Let’s not doubt or second guess his greatness now. Let’s go JJ time to work!!!

He’s got serious bed hair
Pelinka with the $5000 suit and $8 haircuit.

$8? He overpaid...
The fact that J.J. didn't show up with a hat backwards telling me he takes this serious ❤

respect the hustle, JJ still chasing a ring. good to see
J.J. said some of the players are ducking his phone calls.😂🤣
Already red flags, most know Lebron is the coach and GM they just call him if they have anything to say. 😂
Pelinka is ELITE at keeping his job and finding scapegoats.
Facts!!! It’s sick!
The lakers are a family business now and the only reason he's still employed is cause he was kobes agent
best in the business
Unfortunately he doesn’t find scapegoats that would be lebron… get the facts correct.
When you got lebron on the team you don’t gotta worry about the scape goat the media will blame it on lebron and his legacy.
I got rajon rondo joining the staff on my bingo card😂
Need that 💯
Would be an excellent choice
Ain’t he still in jail?
Rondo will never join this clown show
I heard they already got him and Sam Cassell on the coaching staff on god

To see everything that went into getting this opportunity from the moment you became a media personality is incredible, looking forward to seeing this chapter JJ, were rooting for you and everything you do
The underrated part of this signing is JJ’s support system which includes Coach K. Coach Redick have him at his disposal kinda like what Kobe was to other players. A mentor.
He can ask him questions, for advice, schemes, managing minutes, managing star players and personalities, literally anything. Not to mention, he has LeBron and AD’s support and soon, his coaching staff.
A great mind and a great communicator rarely goes hand in hand. Coach Redick has both of these gifts and will definitely help him in his coaching career.
Yes. But he could go the way of Nash who didn't last or j Kidd who has. Those are 2 good examples of NBA go straight into coaching.
Please. K only managed the egos of Team USA. Lakers are NOT the same!
@@Roadrunnerz45 agreed. But he could go as Steve Kerr, or Ty Lue. Nash didn’t have the same circumstances as coach Redick has right now. And that goes both ways as well. Nash started as a player development coach. Coach Redick has yet to coach at any level up until now.
@@hmrhuang yes and I totally agree that USA olympic teams are more star-packed than any Laker roster at any given time. All Im saying is that experience may help managing PERSONALITIES and EGOS alone. Experience is invaluable. And Coach Redick has someone who has that experience. That’s all I’m saying.
@@hmrhuang and coach K also managed a collegiate team most notably Duke right? A lot of players also went from Duke to the NBA that had/still having great careers. He’s NOT just an olympic coach and personality manager. With all due respect.
Lakers should be called now Lebron and friends
With the power of friendship they will alright
@@TurnUpRyanbron back stabs his friends eventually tho haha
@@sonofyah_chosen1950 who did he backstab? Smh
@TurnUpRyan friends don't mix well with business but hope they prove me wrong
It's not Always what you know but WHO YOU KNOW. Just look at all of our political figures...smh it's not hard to understand
I had some intense goosebumps during many parts of this press conference. I’ve always loved JJ and wish him well in his coaching career! Go JJ Go !
Rob Pelinka Looks like he’s been stressin about the whole coaching situation after Don Hurley Declined their offer😂😂😂
Rob Pelinka got that Mark Davis cut.
Hahahahahahahahahhaahah
I hate to say this but Jason Kidd was a hell of a player back in the day and it took a while and getting fired to get to where he is right now as a successful head coach with the mavs. I think there is going to be a bit of a learning curve for him.
J Kidd proved himself as an assistant first
@@mr.jaysonbaker4271 Cap.
He became my Nets' head coach the season after he retired. Then he went to Milwuakee.
THEN, he became an assistant.
Reddick will most likely struggle quite a bit and/or fail completely, as almost everyone does, but comparing him to Kidd is silly. Kidd was miles better as a player, but he's also clearly quite a bit less intelligent than Reddick. Kerr was also a role player and look what he's done. That's a much better comparison.
@@NicolasAlcalde Being a great player doesn't always translate to coaching. You have to completely reinvent your way of thinking to become a coach.
Pelinka looks like Rob Lowe. 😂
More like a D grade version of Rob Lowe.
Hahah 100%
Come to think it, you’re right. 😔
😂
@CCvsReese-pe5eq I didn't even think of that! 😂
Thank you for the 53 adverts you put on this video
Good luck JJ. Inspiring to watch your development. Lessons in there for everyone to follow their passion and the balls to follow it through. Going to miss the podcasts.
JJ will be a great scapegoat
JJ gonna get paid so it is basically pay for scapegoat scheme
@@Syhbw LeBron is "supportive" but not "involved" in the hiring process, yet they are "friends" and have a podcast together. What a joke! Jerry West is rolling in his grave with this hire.
@@Ballwithrich welcome to Jeanie and friends clown show. 😂
JJ is super smart, a solid NBA veteran, college phenom, been coached by some great coaches, and had long NBA career. I think he could do well. Steve Kerr did the same leap and he did pretty well...
Kerr won Championships as a player
@TheMjr2534 yeah true, Kerr played with some great teams during his career.
LMAO That thumbnail already showing JJ in stress
Rob the Edgar cut is on point ✂️👌
Lets see how this works out for the lakers
I agree. It will either work out well, or it will not work out well. We will have to see. Like everything in life, we don't know exactly how something will play out until that thing actually happens. We can make all the predictions we want--and those predictions can be optimistic or pessimistic--but we actually have to wait until the thing happens to find out how the thing happens. To cite an example, I might say, "It is going to rain tomorrow", but in actuality, I have to **WAIT** until the next day to see if my initial statement was correct. So, yes, I agree with you, let's see how this works out for the Lakers.
@@nicholasfox966 very well put. Now let's see how your reply to the original comment works out
@@SchnitzelCFC I am ecstatic to see that, as of now, at least twenty-eight people have "liked" the original comment, indicating that I am not the only one who believes that we will not know how this will play out until it plays out.
If it does not work out they the lakers fans will have a lot of excuses.
@@1990758LeBron fans will also have many excuses.
Even if you’re not a fan of the JJ hiring at least let the man prove himself before y’all count him out.. Loved his energy, let’s go JJ let’s go LakeShow!
Facts im optimistic JJ can be a great HC happy they didn't get the college dude 😎
I agree wasn’t the biggest fan of the hiring but he showed great class during this interview and said some very compelling things and showed passion and heart so he definitely has potential hope it all works out
Stay tuned 😂
If that's the case then let me prove myself next as the Lakers head coach
Of all the coack K disciples to become a headcoach...
“The pursuit of greatness can’t be miserable.”
Damn. Lakers hiring JJ as a head coach made me feel old as I can still remember seeing JJ play for the orland, bucks, clippers. Dayuum
Congrats JJ!!! You worked so hard to be where you're at today. Your love for the game and how you share it is one of your greatest strengths. I can't wait to see how you connect with your players, the success you've had will most certainly follow you on this new career path. You are one of my goats JJ thank you for making one of the best basketball podcasts ever and sharing your brilliant basketball knowledge❤❤❤❤
When your head coach is the best shooter on the current team…. JJ reddick would shoot lights out for lakers 😂
41% percent career 3 point shooter
89% percent career free throw shooter
@@RenaldyCalixteyeah those stats are better then any shooter on lakers current roster.
@@YoteNick 😂...yikes
Did yall see him with the Mavs and Pelicans? He can barely jump
@@Cofitube94he was injury prone at the mavs and pelicans.
Unsurprisingly, JJ crushed the press conference. Interested to see how he actually does at the coaching thing
NY is in the house. JJ BROOKLYN REDDICK
Shame they will be no pods anymore, but very happy for JJ ! Massive fan and think he’ll do well 👏🏾
I love how JJ praised Doc as a great communicator yet as an analyst is most famous for blasting Doc’s problems with communication & accountability.
JJ has a great analytical mind. I’m super excited that he’s “gonna use math”. Not a Lakers fan but I’m gonna start watching Lakers games next season.
Pelinka is so fortunate to have been blessed by Kobe. Saving him from getting fired throughout the years.
42:14 What an epic answer. I wasn't sold until he said that
Talk is cheap
My guy Pelinka rocking that great clips cut
Pelinka lookin like Zander from the movie 'Starship Troopers' 💯🤣🤣
I believe in JJ...very intelligent, confident, good communicator and high basketball IQ and passion for the game like Lebron
I'm very excited to see the Lakers play this year till somewhere in june '25 😉
You got to give it to JJ, what he does now is really unbelievable...he's surfing the wave of succes....love it
I root for him
23 minutes in exactly,, best part of interview,, listen to the background ,,, LMFAO ,, someone was like all hell naw
Hopefully those conversations with AD included getting a center and playing AD at the 4.
They didn't talk about that because if AD plays the 4 then Rob Lowe won't have an excuse to keep his job. 😂
JJ sounding like Coach K in answering some of the questions!
This gonna be Steve Nash with the Brooklyn Nets again 😭😭😭😭😭😭 as a LAKER FAN.. we’re COOKED 😂😂 SMH
JJ will be a great coach. Hyped
My favorite background quality of JJ is that he was the most hated guy in his NCAA days, yet he continued to cook. Had to transition into a role guy on the pro level, but he made the most of it without letting his ego get the best of him. He's head strong and won't let noise distract him. Now how good of a coach he is will have to be seen, but he has the character to stand up to the pressures.
Facts bro people are saying the media and fans are gonna eat him alive like he wasn’t enduring some of the most foul fan treatment in the history of sports when he was in his low-20s.
@@scopezzbro2458Laker fans are more crazy than UNC fans. 😂
23:06 lmao WTF 😂😂😂😂😂 DID SOMEONE REALLY JUST DO THAT
Why does Rob look like future Reddick.
After the stress this man is about to go through, he just might look like that by the start of next season 😆
When JJ was at Duke for 4 years he ended as one of the best college basketball players of all time. When he retired after 15 years in the NBA, he ended as one of the best shooters of all time. When JJ is done coaching, he will be known as one of the best coaches of all time. When he is put in a position to be great, he exceeds expectations. Let’s not doubt or second guess his greatness now. Let’s go JJ time to work!!!
Big fan of JJ…all the best for the new Job…I’m sure you are going to have an excellent and long lasting stay with the Lakers…❤
You just know those F Bombs were directed at SAS 😅
"GOOOOOOODDDDDDD" is the best part of this interview at 23:12 😂😂
Yoo as soon as I seen the thumbnail I just bussed out laughing lmaooo
Very Best of Luck to you JJ Hope for the Best, your success is Lakers success
connection is key than years of being assistant coach
He is very poised. He maximized his ability which turned to a 15 year career. It's something to that.
all im hearing: Darvin Ham was not detail oriented or organized.
awesome joke JJ. nailed it.
Why does pelinker look like he just got out of bed
He looks like he was dragged out of bed. Doesn't look like he got there or got ready on his own
Because he's sitting next to JJ Redick.
He did, he was up all night and morning. He's a huge coke head
@@DallasG83😂😂😂
Feels like yesterday I was watching his Sixers introductory press conference.
I like JJ. he knows the game and understands the players perspective to keep them motivated.
how is sam cassel not be considered over a podcaster?
The lebum effect 😂
Exactly!!😮🤫😏🤔👀👂
He’ll get a job with the right team to implement the right system.
@@AV-tq5hq who is he? Sam?
@@AV-tq5hq Realistically, I see him going to Orlando if Orlando decides to move on from Mosley or San Antonio whenever Popivich retires
