The BIGGEST OBSTACLE for JJ Redick and the Lakers 🍿 | First Take 

It must be a slow news day

“Dropping F bombs the way that he did his initial press conference wasn’t a good look” who is this lady 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Only Molly is First take here, Everybody else is 3rd Take

Come on ESPN.... How does someone who has never played or coached in the NBA talk about what's needed in the NBA?

Stephen A gets unlimited PTO lol

"Anyone can draw up plays on a napkin" Yeah please tell that to Darvin Ham

Molly and Courtney really know how to suck the energy out of a room

This is just a tease before ESPN loads up another half dozen pointless Bronny segments over the weekend

"get your popcorn out because this is going to be a movie" 😂

Lmaooo First time Molly said something i legit laughed at and was on her side. The sarcastic I just wanted to make sure everyone heard your take lmaoo

Amazing video, really loved it!

I really wish JJ all the best going into that Circus but yeah I really don't think he is realizing how difficult being a coach is and how difficult coaching someone like LeBron is gonna be.

After watching all these Player and Coach podcast, Dude right , the best can implement things in real time because they all be sounding smart on these shows

They need to move Austin Reeves who is unable to defend any elite guard when it matters the most

Bro when I heard JJ was "drawing up plays" for Dalton Knecht in the room after drafting him. I almost lost it.

Courtney making a big deal about JJ dropping the F bomb on his introductory to the media SMH

The biggest obstacles of JJ is how can he make Lebron to follow his plays and strategy without hurting his feelings and how much playing time he can give to bronny without getting fired.

"we'll go as far as Bronny takes us" 😂

Espn is the radio station of sports media! They gone play that Bronny song until you give in and start jamming it!😂

Seth is drunk lol, “how to manage back to backs” “are you standing or sitting “

Championship or bust. They have the GOAT of the second round.

gentlemen please for the love of god, when you wear of suit it is acceptable to unbutton it when you are walking and or sitting. Also if you have 3 buttons never button the top or bottom just the middle one is fine. This is ridiculously under-appreciated.

GREETINGS from CABO VERDE ISLANDS🤩🤩🤩🤩

I'm want to be optimistic when it comes to JJ as a coach. Since he retired as a player I've had a chance to listen and see his basketball IQ and knowledge. And he appears to have the character and qualities for a coaching job. So I'm hopeful and looking forward to upcoming season. And to be honest as a Lakers fan looking at the all the teams in West, if we just make the playoffs, It'll be a successful season in my eyes.

JJ can't afford to make any mistakes in strategy decisions in crucial situations. One or two missteps and Lebron will check out, he may not take over the huddle and shove JJ aside but he will not listen and will be visible to all the other players and dissension will boil up among the team. Especially any defensive adjustments that don't work out. JJ may have absorbed defensive concepts from his long NBA career but he was an offensive specialist and could not play much defense.

Yall put anybody on here where Shannon 😂

JJ just needs to pop out and show analyst

At least you all have a real coach here.😂 he’s the only be talking sense here.

i give it til all star break before Lebron camp put out the "JJ needs to go/be fired" rumors

Put all the focus on jj reddick and bronny (no disrespect to bronny) and now we stuck with gabe Vincent and Vanderbilt coming off the bench it’s insane. We getting whooped up on all season

Strong Take Harry

Alcohol is the biggest obstacle for JJ

Their biggest obstacle is clearly espn

She ever been in JJs position???? #NOPE #OHOK 😂😂😂😂 ESPN gettin stale AF!!!!

The biggest optical for JJ is gonna to be getting through a whole season without answering any of the allegations against him.

What they needed they already had. Max Christie just got paid 32 million. Put him on the floor.

Are we really talking Lakers again??????

Their court squad is like g-league. Not championship squad. Falling behind Boston, Philly, Denver etc..

D Lo, cam reddish and Hayes dude are still on the lakers roster. They just needed a JJ REDDICK to believe in them😂 Cam is on his 8th nba team in 5 years, by the way. Players who been on multiple teams in a few years is a BAD THING.

They added bronny how dare ESPN after all the hype and talk that’s championship LeBron said he’s better than half the league

I don't give a F*#% like LBJ said like how bronny feels. That's how I feel every time they start talking about the Lakers and not the current champions

Molly with the shade

His biggest obstacle is walking into the coaches office for Lakers.

I don’t know if there was this much scrutiny when KD and Kyrie wanted Steve Nash to be the HC. Felt like no one said anything about his non coaching experience

We all no LeBron is the Coach J.J is just the Face.

*The* 🐐 *Answer* *About* *GOATs* *From* *A* 🐐 *Connie* *Chung:* Don’t you realize you are thought of as the greatest actor ever? *Marlon* *Brando:* Tim’s [his dog] the greatest actor ever. He pretends he loves me when he wants something to eat. Get out of here. *Connie* *Chung:* No, it’s true. *Marlon* *Brando:* Um, what’s the difference? See, that’s a part of the sickness in America, that you have to think in terms of who wins, who loses, who’s good, who’s bad, who’s best, who’s worst. We always think in those terms, in the extreme terms. I don’t like to think that way. Everybody has their own value in different ways, and I don’t like to think who’s the best at this. I mean, what’s the point of it?

The largest obstacle for the Lakers that JJ will have a tough time dealing with is Jonathan Clay Reddick... also know as JJ Redick.

ESPN really be MILKING on the Bron and the team before he retires

He wasn't even ready to coach summer league.

Biggest obstacle is that he only has elementary school coaching experience and is coaching a veteran team with two stars that have won a championship.... It's not really the roster lol

He roasted jj 😂

I love how ppl who’ve never even played in the nba can talk about how a former player wouldn’t be a good coach lol

There's a perfect balance between education and entertainment.

Molly can’t talk today lmfao still hungover from her vacation. “Dalton Neck” “optical”

I didn't agree with JJ dropping the F-bomb live,. Why? because there are children and people who do not/should not want to hear that - the news conference is a public space. However, let's be consistent, when Mike Malone dropped an f-bomb during post game conference, or Ty Lue or Lebron, Luka or Jokic, I hope the same media personalities spoke out on those ...?

Lakers next season Lakers on a winning streak:"lebron the GOaT" Lakers on a losing streak:"jj needs to be fired"....ESPN takes

His biggest obstacles is himself, Lebum and son😂

The biggest obstacle for the Lakers is Lebron James and now JJ Redick!

forget bronny it’s all about Flagg dude is that guy at 18 yrs old !!!

ROTY: type 1 or 2 1) Caitlin clark 2) Angel Reese

YALL…lol cause we all know espn about to dissect everything single thing every single game, every single decision JJ makes

The only JJ we acknowledge is JJ BAREA

Why talk about a team that will not make the playoffs ?

Biggest obstacle is convincin LBJ not to be subbin in his son all the time

You all have made a difference with your kind words. Thank you!

His biggest obstacles are Lebron and the Lakers

We good.

The obstacles are the management. They need to shut their mouths and allow coaches to coach. They need to hold players accountable regardless how much they pay these players.

😂😂😂he dropped one f bomb and all of sudden it’s not a good look 😂😂😂

Bold take from Courtney C. This will definitely resurface. Receipt

I never seen jj redick smile so much.. i hope his face doesn’t crack.. he doesn’t usually smile..

Where was Steven A. And Shannan sharpe Monday-Tuesday 😢

JJ is about to get the Steve Nash experience.

JJ might be the Lakers next Pat Riley. The roster isn’t bad. Last year they just struggled.

ESPN really farming Lakers fans rn

Who are these g league analyst

This is UNWATCHABLE

This show is lifeless without the original crew

Are you guys not bored…

The way I'd handle Lebron is to bring him into the coaches huddle during timeouts. He's one of the smartest basketball minds in the league, has a pulse on the players , the opposition, and the flow of the game. Why wouldn't you want his opinion? In the end, JJ should make the final decisions and learn where and when to rely on the experience and knowledge of Lebron and his other coaches.

How does JJ answer to Bronny getting more minutes than other bench players

i agree, no experience and a mediocre roster. but they're already comparing him to pat riley (not sure why), pretty sure he'll be ok

This guys take was so sad please never put him on the show again.

This isnt first take, where are steven a smith and shamnon sharpe?

Gelo Ball > Bronny

Ppl so negative. U cant keep rotating the same 4 nba coaches

When the Lakers start next season 0-13 JJ will be cussing out everyone not names LeBron, or, Bronny. And yes LeBron WILL BE the only voice in the huddle and when things go belly up JJ will be the one to take the heat.

You can literally see the stress wearing him down

This summer really gonna be all about the retirement home and ymca Lakers

As a Laker fan I’m not big on the JJ hire. I think it hurt us in free agency. We keep hearing how no one is going to out work JJ. Yet he won’t take the opportunity to get some coaching experience by coaching summer league. Lakers may have made a big mistake here.

Bring Carrie Champion back Idk why but I say “stfu Molly” at least once every first take episode

“Act like you’ve been there before” HE HASNT DUMMY

“Will lebron be okay with JJs F Bombs?”

within the first minute of this former virginia coaches opinion u can tell he’s never watched anything jj redick has talked about he’s literally been around coaches like rick carlisle and others while he was hurt

Why even run first take with no stephen A or shannon sharpe lol

Act like JJ didn’t spend 15 yrs living in the NBA, seeing how various coaches and franchises handled all of these things.

Move here... a move there .. there in business

First take let anyone on their show these days 😂

Dalton net 😂 slow news day for sure

He shouldn’t have let Lebron talk him into this. Not ready
