Charlotte Hornets reportedly to interview J.J. Redick for its head coaching job.
You have to love that he’s on ABC’s No. 1 broadcast team and has a couple of successful podcasts yet is still willing to at least entertain taking this job.

Redick interviewing for Hornets coaching job, per Shams. This has nothing to do with JJ (who’s solid), but wish there was a world where ESPN could call Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson and say “we messed up. Please come back.” Unrealistic but unfortunate – 7:25 PM

The Magic need to bring back JJ Redick and Rashard Lewis. Not even the young versions of them. I bet they could hit open shots now. – 3:06 PM

More on this storyline
According to JJ Redick, who recently appeared on 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony & Kid Mero, explained why the NBA Rookie of the Year frontrunner wasn’t one of those players. “There was a Drake concert in Austin and he got asked to come up on stage because Drake was doing that with a bunch of NBA guys this offseason. And Wemby was like: Can my teammates come up on stage with me? Because they are going to be at the concert with me. And Drake’s camp was like: No. And he’s like: Then I don’t want to do it … What 19-year-old kid doesn’t want to go up on stage with Drake?” -via For The Win / April 18, 2024
In an interview Monday on The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, JJ Redick opened up about the passing of the late Kobe Bryant in early 2020, which inspired him to pursue opportunities for deep basketball talk with great players on the biggest possible platforms. “This is an opportunity for any basketball fan to listen to one of the greatest players ever talk about the game of basketball,” Redick said. “We saw that for a few years with Kobe. And god rest his soul, him being gone, there’s a void there. How many of the [other] all-time greats are talking about the game? I don’t know if there’s anybody.” -via Awful Announcing / April 8, 2024
So when the opportunity materialized for Redick to cohost Mind the Game with the greatest active player in the NBA, it was a no-brainer. “I’ve always had a deep appreciation of LeBron and the mental side of his game,” Redick said. “These guys think the game, and they court-map the game at a different level. And there are certain coaches now that I get to interview now before games … these guys think about this differently. There’s a lot of joy that I get out of that.” -via Awful Announcing / April 8, 2024
