JJ Redick blasted former ESPN analyst Doc Rivers on Tuesday. NBA player Pat Beverley responded, but so did Redick.
"I’m not gonna lie, I don’t know what the hell you’re asking."
"There's just never accountability with that guy."
"Nothing starts on time in the NBA, and it's driving me crazy."
ESPN's JJ Redick expressed gratitude and honor after learning that he would be promoted to the network's top NBA announcing team.
The 39-year-old Redick has enjoyed a rapid rise in the media since retiring in 2021.
Andrew Marchand has Redick as "the leading candidate" now.
Andrew Marchand reports that ESPN might add JJ Redick to their lead NBA team, but that move wouldn't come until after the All-Star Break.
"Doc Rivers has been … a charismatic con man in terms of coaching."
"This is not a knock on the intelligence of anyone in sports media."
"Please stop using the word scared when referring to the nba."
"Something's gotta give, and I hope it's Zion giving more effort and less chewing."
"Zion Williamson has not bought into his own career."
"The realization was audio doesn't go viral, video goes viral."
"I think this is all a bit. I think he is putting this on. I really do."
"I think where we can all do a better job, and again I'm not just pointing to the media here, is talking more about the game."
"Despite what was written even about some talent changes at ESPN, the league does not have a say there."
Redick is fighting a losing battle keeping ESPN NBA coverage safe from the perils of talking-head debate television.
ESPN is ultimately planning to see Ruocco, Redick and Jefferson become their lead NBA broadcast team.
"It’s going to be a little weird, for sure. I felt like Mark and Jeff and Mike is just such an iconic team."
