The Philadelphia 76ers have spent the better part of a decade in a giant rebuild. The roster reconstruction, also known as “The Process,” is centered around Joel Embiid and the team’s journey to a championship title. Embiid has been a part of “The Process” since the Sixers drafted him third overall in 2014. In the […]

The 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers have some of the best basketball talents in the world. With LeBron James leading the way and Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook supporting him, they really look good on paper. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case and they continue to struggle with the season in its final stretch. If that […]

Former NBA guard JJ Redick recently put New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson on blast for not reaching out to new teammate CJ McCollum. On ESPN’s First Take, Redick even described Zion’s behavior as “insane.” Redick, who played one and a half seasons with the Pelicans, couldn’t fathom how Zion doesn’t do even the bare […]

New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson has yet to play a single minute this season as he continues to deal with a lingering foot injury. It was also revealed on All-Star Weekend from CJ McCollum himself that Zion has yet to reach out to his new teammate to welcome him to NOLA and that’s left […]

The Sacramento Kings traded Tyrese Haliburton for Domantas Sabonis ahead of the NBA trade deadline, which yielded rather polarizing reactions from both sides. Former NBA veteran JJ Redick didn’t mince words on why he feels that move was a mistake for Sacramento. In a recent live session of his Old Man and the Three podcast, […]

Following the 2022 NBA trade deadline, the Philadelphia 76ers are one of the main talking points around the league. With just hours to go before the 3 p.m. ET deadline on Thursday, Daryl Morey finally put an end to the Ben Simmons saga. The former No. 1 pick is heading to Brooklyn along with Seth […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant and the Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James aren’t enjoying the seasons they expected coming into the season. Both Durant and James are playing outstanding basketball, but Durant will be out for the next few weeks due to a knee ailment, while James has dealt with his own injury issues. Unfortunately […]

The Phoenix Suns have the best record in the NBA. They are one of the favorites to win the championship this year. It would mean a lot to lot of people, Chris Paul included. But Paul does not believe it’s needed to validate his career. He joined J.J. Redick on the show “The Old Man […]

Draymond Green is not afraid to talk trash to anyone. Being a heel and getting vocal in the face of his opponents is as big of a part of his identity as being a great defender or being the starting power forward of the Golden State Warriors is. Green isn’t afraid to back down and chirp […]

Dating back to the summer, the Philadelphia 76ers have found themselves in one of the league’s craziest storylines. Following a lackluster performance against the Atlanta Hawks in the postseason, Ben Simmons formally requested a trade. Despite an array of teams interested, Sixers president Daryl Morey never found a return of equal value for the former […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is without a doubt the greatest shooter that basketball has ever seen thus far. But NBA veteran JJ Redick certainly was no slouch, either. Redick is closely associated with the three-point shot ever since his early days at Duke. That’s why in a response to a Twitter question on […]

If there’s anyone in the NBA who could talk for a gazillion of hours and still make sense, it’s Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green. He has never been one to zip his lip, regardless of the topic. Green recently made it known that he’s open to having an NBA version of ESPN’s popular NFL […]

JJ Redick recently had a very interesting conversation with ESPN host Stephen A. Smith about the fear factor brought about by Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. While Smith stated that he does not believe LeBron instills fear in his opponents, Redick was having none of it as he explained why he himself feared James […]

Stephen A. Smith is never the type to keep his thoughts to himself. After all, it’s literally his job to speak his mind at every opportunity possible. In a recent episode of First Take, the ESPN host had some not-so-nice things to say about Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. Smith appears to have met his […]

The Chicago Bulls have been one of the NBA’s surprise teams early in the season  – and Lonzo Ball is a huge part of their resurgence. The five-year pro’s biggest leap this season has been most evident in his three-point shooting. Lonzo Ball was already much-improved during his two years with the New Orleans Pelicans, […]

With Zion Williamson yet to play a single game this season, the New Orleans Pelicans have found themselves at the bottom of the team standings after seven contests. The Pelicans hold a troubling record of 1-6, tied with the Orlando Magic, as of writing, for the unenviable distinction as the worst team in the league. The […]

JJ Redick had praise for Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant. Redick says Durant is the best player in the NBA and it’s tough to argue that. Redick had this to say about Durant, “What he’s been able to do post-Achilles has been nothing short of remarkable. From my perspective as a player and my peers’ […]

Former NBA sharpshooter JJ Redick makes a bold claim concerning Cavs forward Kevin Love, which surely won’t please legends from the 75th-anniversary team. Last week, the NBA announced its top-75 players of all time. Players from the top-50 team in 1996 were retained, and former legends and current superstars fielded the rest. Of course, like […]

Following an impressive 15-year playing career in the Association, JJ Redick has announced that he is joining ESPN as an NBA analyst and will make his first appearance on the network during November 3rd’s broadcast in agame between the Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks. Redick spoke out on the opportunity. Via ESPN: “After 15 years […]

JJ Redick announced his retirement last week in a move that shocked the whole NBA. Before he made the decision and official announcement, though, he apparently made one last call to his former Los Angeles Clippers teammate Chris Paul. In the latest episode of his “The Old Man and the Three” podcast, Redick opened up […]

Now retired from the NBA and officially a full-time podcast host, JJ Redick must be closely keeping tabs on all the issues surrounding the league. That of course includes the seemingly unending saga involving his former Philadelphia 76ers teammate Ben Simmons. While the ongoing standoff has been sad, Redick said he has fond memories of […]

JJ Redick has swished his last triple in the NBA. The sweet shooting guard announced his retirement from the game of basketball. The news of JJ Redick’s retirement was reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, with Redick posting a video announcing the decision shortly after. After 15 seasons in the NBA, JJ Redick announced his retirement […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is without a doubt one of the most polarizing personalities in all of the NBA. He’s the most popular player in the planet right now, but he definitely also has his fair share of haters and naysayers. Blake Griffin of the Brooklyn Nets recently came to the defense of […]

After being the laughing stock of the entire NBA for decades, the Los Angeles Clippers have managed to successfully bridge together two eras of success. Before Kawhi Leonard and Paul George made the jump back in 2019, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan turned LAC into a perennial playoff contender. But despite piling on […]

With the free agency frenzy winding down, there are but a few big names still available. One of them is JJ Redick, who recently entered free agency after spending last season with the Dallas Mavericks. As it turns out, the 37-year-old veteran reportedly has his eyes set on a move to either the New York […]

JJ Redick knows very well he can still contribute to an NBA team, but he is in no rush to find a new home. In fact, he has no plans to look or sign with a franchise before the new campaign starts. In a recent episode of his The Old Man and The Three podcast, […]

The New Orleans Pelicans recently lost to the Miami Heat in the Kyle Lowry sweepstakes. To add insult to injury, they also lost Lonzo Ball in a sign-and-trade deal to the Chicago Bulls. The Pelicans obviously planned to pair Lowry with Zion Williamson, which is why they cleared as much cap space as possible by sending […]

The Dallas Mavericks recently inked superstar Luka Doncic to a five-year supermax rookie extension worth $207 million. The Mavs did what they were expected to do. NBA players travel a lot and usually are bored when they are up in the sky. They usually play card games to further bond with each other or just […]

The Atlanta Hawks surprised many fans around the world when they stormed past the top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Playoffs and then proceeded to put up quite the fight against the eventual NBA champions, the Milwaukee Bucks, in the Eastern Conference Finals. Many fans and pundits were surprised when both Bogdan Bogdanovic and […]

JJ Redick has always been vocal in admitting that the Lob City era of the Los Angeles Clippers was bound to fail. The 37-year-old Dallas Mavericks shooter, who was an instrumental part of Lob City from 2012-2017 alongside Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan, once again dropped the harsh reality of the amount of […]

As one of the best shooters in NBA history, JJ Redick has been a great addition to any team he’s played for. With a tireless work ethic, great conditioning, and a sweet shooting stroke, Redick has always played a vital role in the success any team he’s been on. After a quiet season that was […]

The landmark NCAA rule change now allows for college athletes to profit off their name, image, and likeness has finally come to life, and NBA stars couldn’t help but react to it. The deals came hot and heavy for these star amateurs, with negotiations reportedly starting for some NCAA athletes as early as midnight. LSU […]

Joel Embiid entered the NBA in 2014 as the no. 3 overall pick. However, due to a foot injury, the talented big man out of Kansas missed the first two years of his career. Since making his debut in 2016-17 though, Embiid has developed into an MVP candidate, making the Philadelphia 76ers perennial contenders. JoJo […]

The Dallas Mavericks received some bad news ahead of Game 1 of their highly-anticipated clash against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. As it turns out, the Mavs are unlikely to have veteran sharpshooter JJ Redick for the entirety of the series. It was Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle himself […]

Petty wars continue to splatter in the NBA. These days, when many are just cooped up at home, a petty war is the best kind of war, really. Just open up Twitter and then BOOM! There it is. Oh look, there’s another one. In fact, even a savvy veteran like JJ Redick is participating. Sort […]

JJ Redick has been around the block for quite a bit and at this point in his career, he’s pretty much seen it all. Nonetheless, the 36-year-old still can’t help but be amazed by Mavs teammate Luka Doncic and his innate talent. In a recent episode of his own podcast, The Old Man & the Three, […]

In what is probably going to be the number one buzzer-beater of the 2021 NBA season, Luka Doncic sank one of the most impractical circus shots of all time to help the Dallas Mavericks barely scrape by Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. If you have yet to see the impractical shot, treat yourself to […]

The long wait is over: JJ Redick will make his official debut for the Dallas Mavericks against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Redick, who was acquired by the Mavs alongside Nicolo Melli from the New Orleans Pelicans at the trade deadline, has been sidelined as he recovers from a heel injury. He underwent a non-surgical […]

After making the move to the Dallas Mavericks right on the trade deadline, veteran shooting guard JJ Redick is now set to make his debut for his new team. The 36-year-old is currently dealing with a foot injury, but as it turns out, he should be able to play through it and make his first […]
