JJ Redick spoke candidly about the experience of losing his house in the L.A. fires and how he wants to rebuild his community.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Brooklyn,<\/p>\n

An emotional JJ Redick spoke to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times about the recent wildfires and losing his home and community in the Palisades.<\/p>\n

He noted that he wants to help rebuild the community and is dedicating a lot of his effort to it. Redick added that he was here to stay, wanting to coach the Los Angeles Lakers for the next 15-20 years of his career.<\/p>\n

“The personal loss is one thing, and that’s hard. But it’s the loss of an entire community. That’s like the hardest part to process. I talked with the mayor about this as well. part of the urgency in getting this going and her agreeing to fast-track everything – there needs to be an optimism and hope.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I mentioned what the rec center represents to the community. I’m hopeful that we can get this done in a timely fashion and have people back. We’re in it for the long haul. I would love to be the Lakers’ coach for the next 15-20 years. This is important to me.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Redick was one of the many people who tragically lost their homes in the L.A. wildfires at the start of the year.<\/p>\n

He revealed at the onset of the disaster that he would be evacuating his home, but he did maintain that he is still in a privileged position compared to many others and didn’t want people to feel sorry for him.<\/p>\n

Several within the NBA community showed support to him, including Stephen Curry, who gifted his sons two signed jerseys as they lost their collection in the fires.<\/p>\n

However, there was some genuine concern that the emotional toll of losing their house would be too much for Redick and his family.<\/p>\n

Jeanie Buss openly talked about worrying that Redick’s wife would want him to resign as Lakers coach after the situation.<\/p>\n

But luckily for her and Lakers fans, Redick wants to stay long-term while simultaneously helping the community that lost so much due to the fires.<\/p>\n

Redick has been a revelation as the head coach. Despite not having any coaching experience at any level other than his young sons’ little-league team, JJ has completely transformed the Lakers into a juggernaut.<\/p>\n

They are having their best season in the NBA since 2020 and look like legitimate title contenders after a very long time.<\/p>\n

Of course, Redick has had some things go his way. Rob Pelinka making trades to land Luka Doncic, Dorian Finney-Smith, and several others has significantly improved the quality of this Lakers side. Currently, they sit fourth in the Western Conference with a 45-29 record.<\/p>\n

They have a genuine chance to surpass the Nuggets and Rockets, who sit ahead of them in the standings, before the season is over.<\/p>\n

Redick seems to have figured out how to make this roster work. And they should be able to make a very strong run in the playoffs should all the chips fall the right way.<\/p>\n
