[Saba Sports News] During his introductory press conference with the Los Angeles Lakers, JJ Redick was refreshingly candid, not shying away from using profanity.
Newly appointed as the head coach, Redick faced questions about any concerns or misconceptions he wanted to address. His response was straightforward: “I don’t really have a great answer for your question because I really don’t give a f–k. Like, honestly.”
Redick expressed his primary focus on coaching the Lakers and achieving greatness in the NBA, emphasizing his desire to win championships and help his players reach their potential, stating, “That’s all I f–king care about.”
This no-nonsense attitude showcases Redick’s personality, which he has been known for during his time as a broadcaster and podcaster, though not on ESPN.
At 40, the former NBA player and first-time head coach is entering his new role with a bold confidence, marked by his willingness to be himself and use strong language during public appearances. This approach likely resonates well within the Lakers organization.
