We’ve been big JJ Redick fans since he committed to Duke and what he did in the NBA. We have immense respects for his accomplishments at Duke and in the NBA and we greatly admire how he has turned what was a minor podcast into a real force that has led him to a promising media career. He’s not at all shy about saying what he thinks.
But he’s not always right, and his comments about Bob Cousy aren't entirely correct.
If you missed the kerfuffle from ESPN’s First Take, Mike Russo said that Chris Paul “was not Bob Cousy,” and Redick, who is close with Paul, said that Cousy played against “plumbers and firemen,” which is funny and partly true.
