When my workday gets done, I\u2019m excited for the next day,\u201d Redick said. \u201cMike [Breen] and I were actually talking about it the other night after Boston. He sent me a nice text. Something I felt very deeply in my soul last spring [is] that I was supposed to be coaching. And every experience so far has reinforced that, even the bad, tough days. I mean, those are inevitable in an NBA season. So I love it all. And I wanna be clear, too, I didn\u2019t have a cushy job [in broadcasting]. I was grinding. I had like four jobs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Following a tumultuous start to the season, Redick has earned praise for the job he&#8217;s done with Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<h2>JJ Redick holds no regrets after leaving broadcasting to coach Lakers<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/JJ-Redick.jpg\" alt=\"Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick talks to guard Luka Doncic (77) during the second quarter against the LA Clippers at Crypto.com Arena.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Lakers opened the year 20-17, adding to the widespread belief that their championship window around James and Anthony Davis had closed.<\/p>\n<p>However, they won 11 of their next 13 games, after which they shook the NBA world by acquiring Luka Doncic.<\/p>\n<p>Redick&#8217;s squad has won 10 of 13 games since the bombshell trade. Despite losing one of the league&#8217;s top defenders in Davis and playing with a backcourt of Doncic and Austin Reaves, Los Angeles ranks third defensively following the deal.<\/p>\n<p>The extended hot streak has moved the Lakers into the Western Conference&#8217;s second seed at 40-22. While concerns about their defensive makeup persist, they have the offensive firepower to pose a threat in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>And with Doncic as their centerpiece, Los Angeles and Redick will be at the forefront of the NBA conversation fot the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JJ Redick revealed why coaching the Lakers has been a dream come true.
