The NBA’s sudden offensive explosion during the early part of the season has caught many players and executives by surprise, but Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J.

Philadelphia 76ers sharpshooter J.J. Redick could not be stopped during Friday’s 120-114 preseason win against the Dallas Mavericks, but the 6-foot-4 veteran also couldn’t stop the boos from the Chinese crowd at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, despite going a perfect 10-of-10 from the floor in an incandescent 28-point night.

The decision to bring a lauded marksman like J.J.

Brown turned to […]

Social media has its positives and its negatives, but Sixers guard J.J.

J.J. Redick came back for another year in a Philadelphia 76ers jersey, not knowing the role of mentor would be bestowed upon him right away.

J.J. Redick ultimately decided to re-sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, but he had an opportunity to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The L.A. Clippers had made a surge from being the shadow of the Los Angeles Lakers and burst into the forefront, but sadly, former Clipper J.J. Redick knows the short duration of Lob City was a toxic chemistry, one that reached Donald Trump levels of petty. The veteran sharpshooter went on Barstool Sports’ Pardon My […]

A few years ago, the L.A. Clippers were viewed as the team on the rise behind their talented roster that had the optimism that the franchise could contend for an NBA title. However, this had never come to fruition with the Clippers as the team had their shortcomings in each campaign for various reasons that […]

Philadelphia 76ers shooter J.J. Redick, known around the NBA for his off-the-ball movement and 3-point sniping, is very seldom in the limelight. So in the few times that the Sixers guard is, you can probably assume that it’s something of extreme importance. Redick, who stars in his own show, The J.J. Redick Podcast, recently shared a bizarre […]

The Indiana Pacers showed plenty of interest in signing Sixers shooting guard J.J. Redick during the early days of free agency, but the potential to snatch the sharpshooter quickly evaporated.

The Philadelphia 76ers are entering a big summer, and the next couple of months will define how good they are in the 2018-19 season.

Now, […]

The 2018 NBA Finals have been a lopsided affair so far with the superstar-laden Golden State Warriors lording it over the hapless Cleveland Cavaliers.

Philadeplhia 76ers guard J.J. Redick is the latest member of the team that has gone public about the team’s desire to recruit LeBron James in the offseason. Not exactly shocking, given how close many people the Sixers are to a title. The Duke alumni recently guested on the Bill Simmons podcast and, of course, LeBron […]

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown maybe a sophomore, but he’s like a savvy veteran when he’s on the floor. That’s partly because he’s played in high-intensity playoff games right in his very first season in the NBA, when the Celtics reached the Eastern Conference finals. While the pressure of playing in the league does not […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will have a lot of decisions to make in the offseason, among them, the return of several role players who proved vital to their success this season. J.J.

The Philadelphia 76ers could no longer afford to lose in their second-round series with the Boston Celtics.

In Underpants Gnomes nomenclature, the Philadelphia 76ers’ rebuilding strategy over the past half-decade looked something like this: PHASE 1: Tank to acquire young superstars via the draft PHASE 2: ??? PHASE 3: Win championship(s) With their opening-round knockout of the Miami Heat, the Sixers appear ready to fast-forward through the second phase of that plan. […]

J.J. Redick is one of two players with championship experience in the Philadelphia 76ers roster.

Redick had gone to the NBA […]

There was plenty of buzz surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers coming into the 2017-18 NBA season. Needless to say, the hype is real with the Sixers now ahead 3-1 in their series against the Miami Heat.

There were arguments to be made for the Philadelphia 76ers dropping their first playoff game in half a decade.

The Sixers were without their best player in Joel Embiid, and their second-in-command didn’t even get “big game” experience in […]
