LeBron James on JJ Redick’s irate timeout in the 3rd Q after the Wolves cut the Lakers lead to 11 “We know JJ’s gonna spaz out from time to time, that’s JJ”

  3. Some of you olds (I’m LeBron and JJ’s ages) might remember JJ Redick the upsettingly great college player. 

    I attended University of Maryland and we hated that motherfucker like you can’t imagine. Like you actually can’t imagine. 

    And none of his emotional crazy ass behavior throughout his career since is even vaguely surprising. He is a lunatic. He generally keeps it under wraps but sometimes the old JJ comes out. 

  6. He’s admitted in his podcast that he’s crazy multiple times. A certain kind of crazy that you need to compete at highest level.

  7. Better quote here would be, “it is not about how he is saying it, it is what he is saying.”

  10. This JJ is a hellavu ball coach, it’s refreshing the Lakers finally skipped over Hampockets and the just wanna have fun Russ stages to guys who just want to win

  12. I think it’s wild that this stuff gets attention, or at least people are surprised or something. These are not only grown men but some of the most competitive dudes on the planet lmao, they can take it.

  13. JJ is different. It is the killer whale. You can’t show weakness. He wants players to pop back up and not show pain. If that sounds crazy, it is. If it sounds maniacal, it is. It is part of the killer whale identity though. The players are on board. 

  14. In other words “that’s just my coach and we not soft like y’all over here “

  16. And here I always thought it was, “it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.”

    FYI that if the phrase, lol. But LB makes a great point. Sometimes the message is more important than the delivery.

  19. If JJ really wanted to inspire his team he’d make all of his clothes tear away and keep a lakers jersey on underneath

  21. Anthony Edward’s said this timeout hurt them the most. They cut the lead to 11 and then after this timeout the go on a 7 -0 run

  23. That was the worst officiated game I think I’ve ever seen in the post season. Both coaches were frustrated. Almost every challenged call was overturned. Wild.

  24. Joe Mazzulla watching this with crazy wide eyes thinking this is an open challenge to be even crazier!

  25. It’s HOW JJ said it that made the difference. He could have been making a drive-thru KFC order and the team would have responded.
