JJ Redick

In 2016, Redick became the first NBA player and the second active professional athlete to start a weekly podcast during the regular season.

[13] In his first year at Duke University, Redick led his team with 30 points in their victory over NC State in the ACC Tournament championship game.

[14] Redick served as co-captain in his junior year, along with senior point guard Daniel Ewing.

[3] Redick's victory in the Rupp voting spoiled the consensus for Utah's Andrew Bogut, who won every other major player of the year award.

[16] Redick entered his final postseason with a chance to go down as the NCAA's all-time leading free-throw shooter.

On February 14, 2006, in the first half of a game against Wake Forest, Redick broke Virginia alumnus Curtis Staples's NCAA record of 413 career three-pointers made.

[17] Keydren Clark of Saint Peter's College subsequently surpassed Redick's mark in the MAAC tournament.

His record was topped in one of the opening round games of the 2009 NCAA tournament by North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough.

As the marquee player of the Blue Devils, Redick was the target of abuse by fans of rival teams.

"[22] After students from rivals Maryland and North Carolina discovered his cell phone number, Redick estimated that he received 50 to 75 hate calls per day.

Opposing crowds would shout obscenity-laced tirades, yelling at him that "they had sex with his little sister" and "your little brother is gay".

[24] He had 36 double-figure scoring games in a single season, tied as of March 28, 2010, for 5th-most in Duke history with Jon Scheyer, Shane Battier, and Jason Williams.

Pre-draft scouting reports praised Redick's perimeter shooting and basketball intelligence, but questioned his defensive ability and speculated that he might not be tall or athletic enough to create his own shots in the NBA.

LSU's Garrett Temple, a 6'5" guard known for his athleticism and a large wingspan, chased Redick throughout the game.

"[28] He moved up into the backup shooting guard position behind well-known veteran and Duke alum Grant Hill.

In January 2008, Redick posted on his personal blog that "it's been proven that even if I play well in the limited minutes I get that not much is going to change.

"[31] On January 31, 2008, the Orlando Sentinel reported that Redick had asked his agent, Arn Tellem, to inquire about a possible trade.

Redick started all seven games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals in place of regular starter Courtney Lee.

[41] On July 10, 2013, Redick was acquired by the Los Angeles Clippers via a three-team sign-and-trade deal that also involved the Bucks and the Phoenix Suns.

[46] On November 5, 2016, Redick increased his streak of consecutive games with a made three-pointer to 62, in a 116–92 win over the San Antonio Spurs.

[47] On April 12, 2017, Redick made three 3-pointers against Sacramento in the regular-season finale to finish with 201, breaking his career high and single-season franchise record of 200.

[62][63] He was reunited with his former Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy in his second season in New Orleans.

[73][74][75][76] After meeting producer and writer Tommy Alter, Redick decided to continue his podcast on The Ringer in 2017.

[70][77][78] In 2020, he left The Ringer to own his content and start his own media company,[79] co-founding ThreeFourTwo Productions with Alter, a reference to the 342 shots he would take every Sunday during the off-season.

[81] The podcast premiered August 5, 2020, inside the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida with Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard as the first guest.

[73][85][86] In June 2024, Redick announced that he would be going on an indefinite hiatus from podcasting to take the job of head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers.

[89][90] In August 2023, Redick was added to the second core broadcast team of ESPN with Ryan Ruocco and Richard Jefferson.

[91] In February 2024, he was moved to the lead team of Mike Breen and Doris Burke, replacing Doc Rivers, who became head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.

[3] His younger brother, David, was a tight end for the Marshall University's football team until he decided not to play due to injury.

[107][108] On June 13, 2006, Redick was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in Durham County, North Carolina.
