Since taking over, head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, JJ Redick, has faced a lot of attention. Many questioned whether he was qualified for the position because he had no prior experience as a professional coach. Redick discussed on the Lowe Post Podcast with Zach Lowe how he didn’t take any short routes to get his current position.

There are just thirty of us, as I mentioned earlier, Redick remarked. It’s a really challenging task. I have never experienced anything without feeling incredibly grateful. Yes, I consider myself fortunate to have this opportunity, but I also believe that I deserved it.

It has nothing to do with the seven years I worked as an assistant coach. It’s because for the past 32 years, I’ve given this sport of basketball my all. Not because I crossed the line, but because of that, I’m in this situation.

Redick was a player with a wealth of experience.He played in the NBA for fifteen years, adding value as a legitimate outside threat. Following the conclusion of his playing career, Redick started the popular podcast “The Old Man and the Three.” Everyone paid attention to his breakdown of the nuances of the game and basketball IQ.

Concerns with JJ Redick, the head coach of the Lakers??
