JJ Redick Explained Why He'd Be a Good Coach Before Being Hired by Lakers | Taylor Rooks X 

JJ: "I can pull my hands out of my pockets".

Flexibility… communication skills … really good things to point out

JJ will be just the assistant head coach, LeBron is the real playing coach 😂

Good Luck " JJ Yes You Can ❤❤🎉

He’s gonna kill it…pelinka has to do his part and get some actual 3&D players and a backup big (Boston and Toronto wanted him as a assistant couple years ago but he turned it down) this isn’t some scrub

Nobody like JJ more than JJ, and he has his kneepads packed. Good luck bro.

Btw Taylor is just gorgeous ❤

Are there any future portal episodes on the works legit the best thing this channels ever made

JJ jumped the line. If I'm an assistant coach waiting for my turn to coach a team, this would piss me off. Have some shame, my dude.

A right on time interview

“Hey Quick…Ask me how good I’d be as a head coach cuz I just got hired as a head coach. But ya know for the views, likes, subs, and comments.” DUBS IN 4.

That's an incredibly beautiful woman interviewing JJ.

He’s ganna be a great coach

Lakers are now an initial stepping stone for coaching development.

I can sense he really can be a good coach ❤

Not my number 1 choice but as a Laker fan, I wish u and our Lakers success coach! LFG LAKERS!!😝

LeGM hired his homey since they have a podcast together. 🎉

"id be a good coach because lebron told me to do it...."

Sure keep giving the job to newbies I’m sure it will work out

Redick thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. Great he got the job, now he'll know how difficult coaching is

He has 0 experience as a coach. There's a difference between "knowing the game" and knowing how to lead a team. As a Laker fan, don't do it.

We are so screwed

Interesting, I didn’t know all this about him before . Him having courage to speak out whenever necessary. He persuades me a bit, I actually don’t think he might be that bad anymore… Hope he will do all he says, because these are all the team needs. Courageous coach, impactful coach that will help other up and coming players, flexible coach

Yeah I’ll adapt from player to coach salary pretty good

When he said Bird is a not-great 3-Point shooter he lost all respect at that moment.

Pat Riley, zero experience. Erik Spoelstra, zero experience. Phil Jackson, no NBA coaching experience 😂. Thibs keeps running his starters into a wall, still going 😂, 0 adjustments. There are a ton of coaches with experience that have failed. History almost repeats itself and people react the same.

Be interesting to see if he can truly put the broadcaster personality away for real. There is no doubt in my mind there will be players coming to the bench to say things to him regularly for some of his takes on their play. Can he avoid being the drama queen who can't ignore or accept it.

Jerry West shaking his head

Goodbye dark hair hello grey! He's going to age 5 years in this first year.

so where’s JJ Reddick?

Remember whatever answer he gave here, is probably the exact same answer he gave to Lakers Management.

Wish JJ Reddick all the best.Take care of my cutie Rui.

He is better off in Detroit. Around young guys ready to listen and the only way the organization can go is up.

welcome to the la la land jj! if u dont make the finals in 2 years expect to go back to analyzing!

I think NBA head coaches shouldn't get fired as quick as they do. The Lakers coach Darvin, and also the dude from the Bucks (I think Adrian Griffin his name). Seeing how far the Lakers got, and seeing HOW they lostt, I can't put that on the coach. Yes Darvin Ham was lacking some sort of effort or emotion, whatever you want to call it. But the Lakers losing Game 2 against Denver, with a superstar player on their own roster on fire .. is not on the coach. The players need some sort of common sense or urgency. Like AD, shoot the damn ball. Any superstar player who actually cared about winning in that scenario, I think gladly would have told the coach or the players in the 4th quarter, "Fuq all them play calls. "Give me the ball and move." Like sure JJ might be better equipped to handle situations like that, and get things rolling even better when it's already clicking. But if the players were hungry enough, we might not even be in this situation right now, with them looking for a new coach. 🥴🥴 However I do like JJ Redick, so I ain't mad at the choice. He seems like a smart mf when he speaks about the game of basketball. Hope it translates well to the NBA season. And hopefully the Lakers players can bring some fight. I do believe the Lakers players are good enough to make a great run.

Good Luck to him and the Lakers 😮😮😮😮😮😮

From podcaster to assistant coach

He gunna try to be the next mazzulla

As a Lakers fan, PLEASE GOOD GOD, STOP USING SMALL BALL ALL THE TIME PLEASE BEGGING YOU.

I like JJ getting the head coaching job just not with the Lakers

His voice is good bed time sound

Here we go, its gonna be a long season folks...

Jj is way too self conscious to be a good coach. He will realize coaching is not that easy. A good coach has to be good at uplifting players. The kind of person who mock older generations will never be a good coach

Not eve a Bron fan or a Lakers fan..i just HATE haters...i root to see haters get mad

I think JJ's biggest problem is that he sounds condescending, even when he's not being condescending. He's got that permanent mean mug

Because he will let Lebron do whatever he wants. That’s all James ever wanted.

HopeFully!

So I guess his pod is done now 😂

Doc eagerly waiting to bust his ass and see him fail😂

I don’t know how good he’ll be . But I’ll guarantee you 100% he’ll be better than darvin ham …

She likes JJ.

Sounds good until lakers role players start building a house when it’s playoff time 🧱 🧱

JJ secured a 4 year bag, dude is smart getting into the Bron circle.

Jj don’t be surprised when bron switches up

He was in interview mode.

man. the lakers front office is truly a circus

he described more of a mentorship than coaching

You already know that Lebron is running the show now

Welcome to the “Analytics” era of coaching.

Remember when Phil Jackson hired DFish to coach the knicks? Fish had very little experience but was known as a player person…..whats he doing now? Oh yea commentating…

They already have their excuse planned for not winning next season.

GUESS THE LAKERS RECORD THIS YEAR. COMMENT IT BELOW (Serious guesses) I think they are going like 36-46

I only clicked for Taylor.

She gorgeous

Regardless of how this turns out, he surely has to be better than Darwin Ham and that's good enough for me.

This is some straight outa Hollywood type shxt 😂

Looking forward to seeing the nuggets eliminate them again next season

In other words he’s gonna let the “prisoners run the jail”

A good coach means NOTHING if the players are bad. The Mavs have an atrocious coach yet went to the finals. Pistons had a great coach yet had a historically bad season. Lakers have an aged, mid-tier team and aren't as good as half the teams in the western conference.

Imo, he might be better off as a player development, mentor, or start off as an assistant first & then work his way up. I think dude is too soft. I liked listening to his podcast, if you look back at his podcast career, as soon as one of his takes receives backlash, he'll come back on the next show to apologize & retract his statements. He doesn't have the backbone to stand down on what he said, so imagine him being that way once a player or multiple players opposes his Coaching, he's just going to be a "Yes" man then. We'll see though.

Another reason to root against the lakers

let the SHIT SHOW continue!

Lakers is in big trouble This guy have ZERO coaching experience 😂

Congratulations, LeBron now has his scapegoat is Lakers turn into a shit show once again,

So lakers have already started to tank for the 1 pick. Impressive

just imagine all the coaches who grinded starting in high school winning multiple championships, went to a small college built up the program to get noticed enough for the nba, they start at bottom and worked their way up to assistant hc.. then u got jj who plays, retires and talks and gets one of the 30 hc jobs in thenba with ZERO experience

Lets goooo JJ fuck everyone else u get this maybe not this year to win it but 2nd year and u will do good this year if we have the right pieces

Bro lakers just like to make headlines

The thinnest coaching resume probably ever in the NBA. Laker fans... the organization does not care about winning.

JJ reddik gonna get fired if he bench bronny

Coach Redick! Let’s go!

I would have given him the job too!

He might just surprise us. 💜💛

Honestly I’m not too worry on the signing of the coach but hopefully the gm makes some moves to improve the team

Just what the Lakers need...a HC with ZERO experience!!!! PERFECT!!!

Not the biggest fan of the signing but I’m hoping JJ works out for the Lakers and I’ll be rooting for him. I’m sick of the coaching cycle the Lakers have been in since Phil.

31-51 coming up....

If he is the new Lakers Coach I don't think it is going to work out well.

I like him better than darvin "hand" in pockets

First❤️

Jason Kidd who has a high IQ for the game needed to go and be an assistant before he seen any success because this is a whole new thing than playing or knowing the game. This is the equivalent of the Colts hiring Jeff Saturday.

He should have put in the time and work as a coach.... NBA assistant coach, college coach, special consultant, etc. All he has on his resume is his kid's team.

JJ sucking up le choke 😅Lakers never getting back to championship 😅 no goat just choke goat....😂😂😂

Redick is closed minded. He stereotyped players from sixty years ago as plumbers. RedDick could not carry the jock straps of many of those players. All RedDick could do was shoot. He could not play defense. He could not rebound. He was a damn good shooter. The Lakers will fire him at the end of the 2026 season.

JJ REDDICK IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL MIND IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE

Zero experience, zero rings but has podcast with Lebron. Next step is getting Bronny to complete Lebum’s plan. Lakers going downhill.

Beware : Lebron is gonna hog the lakers franchise He ain’t retiring He wants a ring but hires a newbie coach .. so JJ is obviously a PUPPET COACH More importantly LBJ wants to retire at lakers mostly and have his minions in key positions so he can control this franchise even after

Sounds like he's got no experience especially to take on a team wanting to WIN NOW. He needs a couple years as an assistant. Poor decision by the Lakers like probably the worst coach hiring in the history of the NBA.
