This.

And he's not wrong about what he said either.

He got stock in Del Monte.

JJ is great, and has been for quite a while. He matured late, but I think he's a pretty well-respected vet at this point. And he can still ball at 35. He's far from the whiny brat he was in college.

Also, he's correct.

I'm starting to get the feeling Russell will be going to Minny for Covington, filler and a pick(s) and then Golden State will be right back where they were a season ago.

Old players (people) will never stop finding ways to trash the "younger generation." As if people weren't saying the same thing about some of JJ's peers when he was that age.

I think a guy like JJ should stop making comments that are so vague and generalizing that they're ultimately meaningless. If he has a beef with how a teammate or a player is conducting himself off the court, either call out that player directly (or, preferably, to their face) or zip it.

Eh he can feel and say whatever he wants, and other people can feel and say whatever they want about him saying it. Good to know where literally everyone stands on the social habits of others.

Gets me every time you post about Mike how you find a way to acknowledge the Hitler 'stache.

Warriors with a possible #1 pick, another likely lottery pick (unless Minny turns it around with D'Lo), and a legit 3-D wing to help give them some depth, makes me mad.

Yeah, all of JJ’s teams have been beacons of impeccable chemistry. Remains the holier than thou brat he’s always been. But if you like him that’s totally cool too!

I think that sums up all that quite a lot of people have had to say on any JJ related topic for his whole career. :)

There is unfortunate truth in Redicks comments, I've had the same thought myself. I look at a guy like Kyle Kuzma and can't take him seriously because he treats the NBA like a fashion show

I think our very own DJ Wilson has some of that in him too, don't see the passion for the game but I see the passion for fashion lol

To non-elite RGM users: If you like him, that's regrettable and I question the veracity of literally every single post you have made. Instead of my posts listing the night's officiating team mysteriously disappearing, it would be your posts, prospective tolerator of JJ Reddick, that would become orphaned without explanation.

The only thing "unfortunate" about Redick's comments is him feeling the need to make them in the first place.

What's so bad about a guy speaking his mind? I know Redick is hated around here but I've honestly never seen him start any trouble the whole time he has been in the league. Hell, I don't even know the context in which he said this, was it a direct question or what? Don't really understand the **** JJ sentiment other than the fact he didn't like playing for the Bucks when they were among the worst organizations in sports.

My feelings on Redick really have nothing to do with his forgettable stint here. Chuck put it best:

Right. Interestingly, still haven't heard any argument he's wrong. Just, you know, 'shut up about it'.

If you think this is about the accuracy of Redick's comment you're missing the point entirely. Still have yet to hear why it's an "unfortunate truth" that some guys might just really enjoy life outside their careers. :roll:
