The Los Angeles Lakers have begun the search for a new coach. Their hopes are to find someone who can bring the team together and get the most out of the roster’s talent. In the eyes of JJ Redick, it doesn’t matter who they bring in because that person will not help the Lakers achieve […]

JJ Redick gained a lot of new fans after he called out Chris Russo on live TV after the latter went on a bonkers tirade against Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is not done with his tirade against controversial broadcaster Chris Russo, who earlier stated on ESPN’s First Take that he wants Green to “shut up and play.” Russo got absolutely dunked on by co-host JJ Redick and right now, it’s Green’s turn to spew fire on the highly-polarizing sports […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are in a tough spot without Joel Embiid, scrambling with the “center-by-committee” approach.

Doc Rivers started DeAndre Jordan in the Sixers’ Game […]

Did the Minnesota Timberwolves celebrate their Play-In tournament win like they won the NBA Finals? Yes they did. Is that worth clowning them all over the internet? JJ Redick doesn’t think so. The outspoken veteran was vocal on his Old Man and the Three podcast against the clowning being done on Patrick Beverley, Karl-Anthony Towns […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in the first game of the NBA Play-In Tournament.

However, one former NBA player and current analyst believes that people need to lay off Minnesota. “Why […]

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the front runners in the NBA regular season MVP race. Giannis, along with Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic, is one of the most discussed candidates for the award. Despite his dominating performance in recent years, former NBA player and current ESPN analyst JJ Redick put other players […]

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.

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.

Following the 2022 NBA trade deadline, the Philadelphia 76ers are one of the main talking points around the league.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

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.

JJ Redick has swished his last triple in the NBA. The sweet shooting guard announced his retirement from the game of basketball.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is without a doubt one of the most polarizing personalities in all of the NBA.

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.

With the free agency frenzy winding down, there are but a few big names still available.

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 […]
