Fans weren't impressed by Lakers new head coach JJ Redick and his F-bombs at Monday's introductory press conference.

The former NBA player/youth basketball coach regularly swore during his time speaking to the media and it didn't go over well with a large segment of those who watched.

"What are you trying to prove here... That you're cool and hip? It very well could be a sign that maybe you're not ready for this," Martin Weiss said.

"I caught some of JJ Redick's presser. If the Lakers win as many titles as Redick dropped F-bombs, there will be plenty of parades in LA," Mark Packer commented.

"I have been hating on JJ Redick for 22 years. I could have made a career out of hating on JJ Redick," a fan tweeted. "And he just consistently makes it easier and easier. No one is better at being hated on than JJ Redick."

"Feels like JJ Redick went out of his way to swear twice during what little I saw of his press conference. Is this supposed to sound cool?"

Redick wasn't always the most-liked player going back to his college career. But as long as he has the respect of the guys in his locker room, that's what will really matter.
