JJ Redick is wearing a customized Deandre Ayton t-shirt where the front is Ayton’s face combined with the face of a lion. “We want him to be the lion,” Redick said.

I guess whatever it takes to keep him motivated.
That is one caring coach.

This kinda wholesome
Smart coach. He knows how valuable a motivated Ayton is to the team!
its a lil corny but thats ok
lol anything to get him to lock in
He seems like a good fit as coach for the team. He cares about stuff
Whatever else you want to say about JJ (Duke, gross), he has unlocked DA
We need players getting Ayton fired up in games and see that he can be a fuckin monster, he’s such a soft spoken guy but we need that fire if we’re gonna compete
Culture setting, small things like this go a long way.
Can we buy that anywhere?
It’s silly & I love it lol
What if Ayton wants to be a butterfly instead?
Another double double for Ayton and Lakers win otw!
This made me laugh out loud but also this is kinda wholesome
JJ is playing chess, some commentors here setting up the checker board minus a few pieces.
I like how JJ is giving Ayton motivation and showing him that he believes in him. This may seem corny or small but sometimes that’s all a person needs. Just for somebody to show you that they care or believe in you could mean everything to some people
This type of stuff is exactly what a guy like DA needs and why he’s been so good, if he’s in a good environment with coaches + teammates that care about him and push him, and you get the best version of him
This is awesome! I remember Ayton posting a pic of he and JJ. With the caption, “Love on who loves you”
Going all in on DA is brilliant. Luka, AR, and Bron are confident to the point of psychotic but pouring into DA and boosting him is only going to pay dividends for the team and for him as a person.
I used to have a Kobe shirt that did the same thing but with a Mamba. Same yellow color and art style too
Motiv-ayton
Can you link this ? I can’t find it only interview from other games pop up annoying af
Monty and Chauncey would never do this. W JJ reddick.
You can’t make someone who be in the league for a decade become a lion over night. That isn’t in this guy DNA.
Hey, if it works, I’m all for it.
He needs some sleep
Ayton has so much potential. If he could focus on exploding at the rim when he’s in the key instead of fading away from the rim, that alone would get him up to 20 ppg.
He’s got good finesse, finishes lobs well, good midrange game, but he needs that Kenyon Martin aggressiveness. He should be yamming on people 3-4 times a night, but he’s a little soft in that regard, imo.
What do you guys think? 🤔
Why he resting the mic on his nose in OPs pic lol
Should of put a baby lion,cause bum is soft
I want that shirt. They should do a home court giveaway of that shirt to fans.
This is a coach that is playing the game the right way. He’s lighting a fire under his players by finding creative ways to keep them accountable. This is the job of a coach, the X’s and O’s that have to be accounted for when dealing with various personalities. DA is crucial to our success no matter what moves we make. JJ trying to instil consistency in him and I hope his efforts reap fruit
We support Ayton and we will hear no nonsense about the past. This is the present.
