    I love that these guys are retired because we get to hear about all the BTS actions while they were playing. Comical as heck!
  • JJ Redick ain't got nothing to lose by interviewing for the Lakers job or taking the Lakers job. It's not a Career Gamble, it a start to his Coaching Career.
  • @magicrich8880
    It's best Lakers higher rajon rondo as a assistant coach his IQ is on a next level
  • @grynda123
    Him being a coach period is a gamble, why not the lakers lol
  • @ImportAl
    JJ Redick is similar to Riley: role player, working in media, sharp talker, tight with current players. HOWEVER Riley got peak Kareem, rookie Magic, not high mileage LeBron, who WILL fire him.
  • @macl221310
    No they won't interview you KMart! What are you going to say to the players? "You know what Im saying?"
  • @ReDav1s87
    Real Madrid, Dallas Cowboys, NY Yankees, LA Lakers, Manchester United. I would say they are the top 5 biggest clubs in their respected sport.
  • @Angelv93
    Love the bowling shirt, Gil haha
  • @jonpoon3896
    I still think JJ making his podcast empire means he’s trying to be the top guy when NBC takes over for TNT
  • @johnkang7082
    Brandon look like someones fresh out Unc with them fingerless handball glove and that Ross under armor shirt 😂
  • @TreeSnackz
    Gil should’ve interviewed for the Lakers HC position, also it’s been JJs job. , Hurley, was just a motion candidate because initial reports of JJs name weren’t publicly received well !
  • @grynda123
    Salute to Kenyan for the “soccer” shout out lol
  • @DamnDiddy
    Blatt got fired mid season while the Cavs had the 1 seed during the year they won 😂
  • @ssvlaunch
    Nobody is going to blame JJ for getting fired by the Lakers!! Everybody gets fired! No risk and a great resume builder!!

    I been a Laker serious fan when Norman Nixion and Silk Wilk was my guys. Just everything about the organization with Jerry West as GM. I've been dedicated to the extent that when they played my hometeam the Bulls for the chip, I wanted my Lakers to win. But now LeBron's fingerprints are too often at scene of the crime. Its unstable. The past greats had class. From Kareem to Worthy,Magic and Kobe. Lebron is great and even though I got past his Jerry Curl dancing shhh. But after Udoka said he was spending nights at Diddy's house and he saying, nobody throws a party like Diddy. Fuuuuk Lebron with his batty boy shhh. I wish he leave the Lakers and give us back our team.
  • They made sure to drop the info when SHADSTRADAMUS wasn’t gonna be on Gil’s Arena
