Even in retirement, the competitivefire in JJ Redickstill burns — which is part of the reason why he wanted to become the Lakers coach.
This was evident when Redick was asked aboutLakers wing Luke Kennard, who’s on the cusp of a historic 3-point shooting season, and how many 3-point shots out of 100 Kennard would make in an open gym?
“Probably somewhere around what I would shoot,” responded Redick, who was a great shooter within his own right during his college career at Duke and 15-season NBA career.
“A good day, I don’t know, 88, 89,” Redick said.
“Catch and shoot — I was a better movement shooter than Luke,” Redick quipped. “Just kidding.”
“No, I’m not,” Redick said while laughing.
For what it’s worth, without knowing Redick’s comments, Kennard said on a good day he could probably make 90 3s in an open gym.
“I’d probably…just right above him,” Kennard joked.
But Kennard has the opportunity to achieve a feat that even Redick didn’t accomplish.
Kennard entered Tuesday’s home gameagainst the Timberwolves shooting a league-best 50% on 3s.
