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 experience of something that happened to him. In an off-season that has been filled with so many twists and turns, this is probably one of the creepiest and most serious ones you’ll read about.
After a photo shoot in New York, a car agency vehicle picks him up, together with his wife, Chelsea, and sister-in-law, Kylee. As soon as it arrives, they immediately put their stuff in the trunk and hop into the back seat.
While in transit, Kylee, who is his wife’s twin, suddenly feels uncomfortable because she could hear a weird noise coming from the back. She then alerts Redick, who in turn informs the driver of the occurrence. They pull over and inspect the situation.
What follows is something straight out of a Hollywood horror movie. Here’s his version of the story:
“And so he lifts the blanket up, but like towards the window, so that the blanket is facing up, so we couldn't see cause we were on the sidewalk—perpendicular to the car, not behind the car. And he's like ‘No, there's nothing in here. There's nothing in here.' And he closes the blanket back, and then he closes the trunk.
“And as he's like walking around to the front seat, a head pops up. [Bamba starts to laugh.]
“It's the—no, this is not funny. There's a back of a female's head. She's got blond hair, there's a ponytail, and based on the size of the box or cage that this person is in, it's like either, like a very small human, or a child. And I'm like, ‘We all saw it, right?'
As soon as they got out, they instantly informed the car company, the police, and even the FBI.
Thankfully, Sixers fans can breathe easy as neither Redick nor any of his family members were hurt. The driver was also reportedly suspended from work for violating company regulation.
While we'll never know for certain what or who was in that trunk, this incident teaches us a very valuable lesson: Always check your car's trunk for weird people in cages.
