Los Angeles Lakers
JJ Redick is a content creator no more — the Los Angeles Lakers head coach just announced he’s putting his podcasting career on hold after accepting his new gig with the Purple and Gold.
The former NBA sharp-shooter revealed the status of his “Mind The Game” podcast with LeBron James during his introductory press conference on Monday … and it’s bad news for fans of the show.
“For the time being, and hopefully it’s a very, very long time, I am excommunicated from the content space,” Redick said minutes ago. “There will be no podcasts. We’ll do something when I have a breather from what we have coming up — I’m gonna be drinking from a fire hose for the next month.”
Redick said he’ll probably do a proper send-off for his audience … but other than that, it’s curtains for his career on the mic.
“But I’m done with podcasting for now.”
The show with LeBron was pretty short-lived … as it lasted just nine episodes, in which the guys broke down the Xs and Os of basketball.
Many wondered what would happen to the project … as NBA coaches aren’t known for poddin’ around while actively working for a team.
Redick — who also hosted his “Old Man and the Three” pod — won’t be the first to do so … as it’s now time to get the Lake Show back to their usual winning ways.
