The Los Angeles Lakers have made a bold move by appointing JJ Redick as their new head coach. Redick, a 15-year NBA veteran, steps into this role without any prior coaching experience in the league. However, his unique perspective and unwavering confidence set him apart.
In a viral video, the recently appointed Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach JJ Redick talks about expectations. The message, imbued with both humility and confidence, has resonated with Lakers fans eager for a new era under Redick’s leadership.
“I’m humble enough to know I’m gonna have blind spots. I’m humble enough to know I’m going to make mistakes and I’m not perfect. But I’m confident in my work ethic, my preparation, my ability to connect, hopefully my ability to motivate..”
— JJ Redick.
