Rookie coach, JJ Redick, has received praise from NBA fans for introducing a fresh perspective to the Lakers franchise.

It’s a known fact that before he became the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, JJ Redick and LeBron James had established a friendship as co-hosts of a podcast. Through their podcasting experience, Redick gained a deeper appreciation for James’ basketball IQ and greatness.
