With JJ Redick now head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, the previous ESPN expert likewise needs to bid farewell to his gig as a part-time podcaster.

He just recently published a bye-bye video for listeners of “The Old Man & The Three” podcast.

“I wanted to give a quick thank you to every single person who has listened to one of our podcasts …,” Redick stated. “… I will be moving on to coach the Los Angeles Lakers. … I feel very grateful.”

“Everything we have done has been based upon a foundation of a love of the game of basketball, and going forward, everything that @ThreeFourTwopro will do without me will be based on that love of the game of basketball.”

Redick is making the ideal call by setting his podcasting aside so that all of his attention can be concentrated on the Lakers. He likewise was co-host of a podcast with LeBron James, who is now among his gamers.

Remember, considering that 2011, the storied franchise has actually won simply a single champion (in 2020) and published 50+ triumphes when also.

The group has actually had a hard time to discover consistency, and Redick will be the 8th head coach considering that Phil Jackson left following the 2010-11 season.

But maybe Redick, a 15-season NBA veteran, will have the ability to instill a few of his gamer’s mindset into the group and guide them back to title contention.

With James registered for yet another season, and Anthony Davis still in the middle, Los Angeles ought to be a powerful group at minimum.

But in the end, it will depend on the 40-year-old Redick to make it count.
