JJ Redick returned to the city where he spent the two best scoring seasons of his playing career. The Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers meet up on Tuesday, as Redick coaches against his former franchise.
He averaged 17.6 points on 40.7 percent shooting from behind the arc through the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaigns. Redick was noticeably prepared to answer questions before the matchup, and his response was as perfect as it gets.
"If you can play in Philly, you can coach the Lakers," Redick said.
It has to stir up some feelings for the former marksman making an appearance at Wells Fargo Center. Despite the short stint in Philadelphia, Redick is one of the most beloved shooting guards in 76ers history.
