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. Redick was booed during player introductions and […]

Brown turned to […]

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

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.
