On today’s episode of Old Man and the Three, New Orleans Pelicans guard JJ Redick has on former Maverick J.J. Barea to discuss just about anything under the sun in terms of basketball and his career.
The fifty minute interview results in Barea telling some incredible stories, like his path from Puerto Rico to the NBA. He shares the story of how he first got minutes under Dallas coach Rick Carlisle (he literally walked in to Carlisle’s office and asked for a shot). Redick and Barea discuss the high pick and roll (or pop) with Dirk Nowitzki and how Dirk was the master of the illegal screen.
