Lakers show promise despite criticism
Under Redick’s leadership, the Lakers have shown flashes of potential, winning six of their last eight games and holding a 19-14 record. However, many still view the team as underperforming given their star-studded roster.
During a post-game interview, Redick addressed Barkley’s comments with calm indifference:
“Redick said we’re the reason people aren’t watching. No, it’s this crappy product on the court,” Barkley exclaimed. “JJ, you come for the king, you better not miss. The Lakers stink, and you can’t hide those flaws.”
While Barkley’s passionate monologue stirred up headlines, Redick made it clear he isn’t losing sleep over the NBA legend’s opinions.
Redick’s close ties with LeBron James and his unconventional coaching background have made him an easy target for scrutiny. While Barkley’s sharp words made waves, Redick seems focused on the season rather than media drama.
