J.J. Redick is done with his roles in media, including podcasting with LeBron James, now that he has been hired as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
"For the time being, and hopefully it's a very, very long time, I am excommunicated from the content space," Redick said. "So there will be no podcast. ... I'm done with podcasting for now."
Redick referred to James as a friend, but indicated the two maintained their distance during the interview process.
"He didn't provide any advice," Redick said. "LeBron and I did not talk about the Lakers job until Thursday afternoon about 30 minutes after I was offered the job. And that was very intentional on both our parts."
Redick also commented on the Lakers' interest in Dan Hurley.
"During that whole [courtship of Hurley], at no point was my ego or feelings hurt or bruised in any way," Redick said. "Dan Hurley is a two-time national champion at UConn. I am a two-time 55 Swish League champion in the third- and fourth-grade division. Like, I understood, you know? I understood."
