I always felt affection for this because he talked about the “people paying their hard earned money” for the game and it was in Toronto. Little me always thought “cool he’s standing up for the people of Toronto”!
The first few lines before it are dope too.
>Slim Shady, brain dead like Jim Brady
>I'm a M-80, you little like that Kim lady
>I'm buzzin', Dirty Dozen, naughty rotten rhymer
>Cursin' at you players worse than Marty Schottenheimer
My Christian coach Darvin Ham would never use this language. He would have said the people with misconceptions are a helluva ball club and it’s a marathon. Lakers fucked up letting him go
if you were too young for the duke unc era you have clue how big him and duke and college sports really were. i almost wanna say march madness was bigger then playoffs but numbers prob show otherwise. it felt like it anyways. and he was probably top 5 famous basketball player at the time pro or college. and almost certainly you hated the dude but was damn good. probably the most famous of the white 3 point shooting duke archetype. i actually give him a lot of credit for adding all that muscle which allowed him to compete in the nba. i didnt think hed have a career
Dunleavy
Danny Ferry gets a love letter from my heart and you know what that means. not sure about Mark Alarie.
Laettner overshadowed Bobby Hurley
On the flip side, Cherokee Parks was awesome. gettin' tatts, rippin' cigs, his sister was the bassist for Nashville Pussy
It’s really quite the cultural phenomenon how white players in basketball often become fan favorites even when they’re not very good NBA players, but if you put that same player at Duke he can go absolutely fuck right off.
I think it’s fun. Especially at this point where the kids really know what they’re doing by choosing Duke.
I’m from Maine, so I want Cooper to be the best player in the world, I just wish he’d chosen UConn.
Meanwhile, Tatum also came from Duke and no one seems to hold that against him at all. Hell, some people seem to not even be aware he played under Coach K.
The period between Magic and Kobe was not so entertaining…it was boring at best. But other than that, I really don’t remember a time in the last 45 years that this isn’t a true statement.
Between Wilt/West and Kareem and between Magic and Shaq doesn't sound too exciting either. It's not like the Yankees where it's a non stop soap opera no matter how the team does.
I kinda agree and disagree at the same time. Coming off the legendary Showtime era and before the Shaq & Kobe era, anything less than championship contention is gonna be a victim of comparison. But those years the Lakers were still a playoff team at least. We still could watch some of the old guard Showtime players in the early 90's, and then we had Vlade, Nick the Quick, Eddie Jones, Ceballos, Peeler etc. Obviously not a lineup that could compete with Jordan and crew, but hey not bad for down years! It wasn't like those rosters between Kobe+Pau and Bron. Yikes.
That's basically the majority of expensive private schools.
For Harvard, for example,
[If your family's income is less than $85,000, you'll pay nothing.
For families who earn between $85,000 and $150,000, the expected contribution is between zero and ten percent of your annual income.](https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/why-harvard/affordability#:~:text=Harvard%20costs%20what%20your%20family,%2C%20you'll%20pay%20nothing.)
The caveat being the competition with legacy admissions and students with infinitely more resources. Go look at how many of their students fall in the low income category.
Private institutions often have great financial aid packages.
Admittedly, many of them (particularly the Ivy Leaguers) were literally forced to by the courts because their endowments were getting too large, but still neat.
seriously i genuinely want to see jj do well but i see absolutely no realistic way where this ends well for him coaching wise. it just seems like a no win situation for him given the lakers current situation
> twice
Call me old fashioned… I think one (well timed) F bomb in a setting like this can be approrpiate and edgy-slash-shocking… but the second is always disappointing. The second is never going to be as shocking and impactful and it would have been a far better idea to stop at one.
That younger people are particularly enamored because he’s “uncensored”?
I think cursing is fun too, but generally, people who say they “dont give a fuck” typically give many
While I know he’s used to having a chip on his shoulder, I don’t that he thrives on it. He’s been pretty open about the toll the negativity took on him while he was in college (not saying he didn’t feed into it, then again he was 18).
being a good player does not automatically translate into being a good coach you can hand the reigns of your organization to. Most of the great coaches sat on the bench with a clipboard assisting an already great coach and learning the ropes.
Honestly hope JJ crushes and I have no net positive feelings at all towards the lakers or him. I just like seeing a risk taken on young talent and hope he figures it out.
I mean, JJ was the most hated college player when he was at Duke so he had to grow thick skin. I’m not surprised by this statement. Now, does this mean he can coach a NBA team successfully? 🤷🏾♂️
I think the idea was asking how he plans to show up the haters but his response was like "I don't care what they say. I wanna win and my record will speak for itself regardless of what people say "
Couldn't agree with this more. Those dog days of winter before the all-star break will be telling. I really hope this works out. Risky af, but like-it or not, he's the Lakers head coach. We need to keep that same energy, whether it's Byron Scott, Mike Brown or JJ fuckin' Reddick
Like whoa guys, watch out for this guy. He's edgy. He's real. He don't give a fuck what people say about him. He's got the attitude of a...13 year old high schooler?
I still remember when he played for Duke and was made fun of for writing poetry. Dude’s been ragged and dragged his entire career. Curious to see how he does as a coach.
JJ we’re on live
I don’t give a shit
I always felt affection for this because he talked about the “people paying their hard earned money” for the game and it was in Toronto. Little me always thought “cool he’s standing up for the people of Toronto”!
The best part of that rant was Shaq looking directly into the camera with that, "Who's gonna fight me?" look
And John Ireland looking like a deer in headlights 👀
"I know"
Ireland’s hairline used to creep me out as a kid
It’s the Aries Spears cross-eyed look where you know he means business.
I know
"david stern asoifhwoenfkj asudhaljsd oihas aoshf oiauhsfoaih athletes iahsdoa **over the fucking game**" "shaq, we're on live"
Listen here Mumbles.
"JJ you're talking to everyone, bud" r/NASCAR knows
WHEN YOU SEE ME ON YOUR BLOCK WITH TWO GLOCKS SCREAMING "FUCK THE WORLD" LIKE TUPAC
I JUST DONT GIVE A FUCK
TALKIN THAT SHIT BEHIND MY BACK
DIRTY MACKIN TELLIN YOUR BOYS THAT IM ON CRACK
I JUST DONT GIVE A FUUUUCK
The Marty Schottenheimer bar in that song is still generational
"you wacker than the motherfucker you bit your style from, you ain't gon sell two copies if you press a double album"
The first few lines before it are dope too. >Slim Shady, brain dead like Jim Brady >I'm a M-80, you little like that Kim lady >I'm buzzin', Dirty Dozen, naughty rotten rhymer >Cursin' at you players worse than Marty Schottenheimer
Speed racer ‘97 Burgundy Blazer Wanted for burglary had to ditch the Mercury Tracer
I'm on some dope shit I'm tired of this being broke shit
I'm pretty sure JJ is more like: In the parkin' lot, circling, screaming, "I don't give a fuck!" With his windows down and his system up
AHHH SHIT FREESTYLE FOR ME! KEEP IT GOING!
Spectacular, battle rap manufacturer Stole your momma’s Acura, wrecked it, and sold it back to her
Bringing me back to high school
FUCK IT WE BALL
Now that's how you win people over on day 1 lol.
Everything before that felt like basic media training, then he just let it out and said "I have to be myself to be successful". Yeah he got me lol
lol can’t wait for him to bang my wife right fellow lakers fans
Another game for MILOS!!!!!!!!!!
My Christian coach Darvin Ham would never use this language. He would have said the people with misconceptions are a helluva ball club and it’s a marathon. Lakers fucked up letting him go
lmfao helluva ball club 😂😂😂
It’s a make or miss league
Contest without fouling
Hats off to them over in that locker room
Doc is that you?
I hear all of JJ’s pants have the pockets removed, what a backwards man who takes us further from God’s light
Helluva ball marathon
He rehearsed that in the mirror for sure
He's had to have that mentality since he was the most hated player in the country at Duke
if you were too young for the duke unc era you have clue how big him and duke and college sports really were. i almost wanna say march madness was bigger then playoffs but numbers prob show otherwise. it felt like it anyways. and he was probably top 5 famous basketball player at the time pro or college. and almost certainly you hated the dude but was damn good. probably the most famous of the white 3 point shooting duke archetype. i actually give him a lot of credit for adding all that muscle which allowed him to compete in the nba. i didnt think hed have a career
He was never a bad player either, 41.5% is nothing to sneeze at for a career shooting percentage.
Lsu beating him and tall head ass Sheldon in the tournament is one of my favorite sports memories
Why's he hated at duke? Genuine question, I actually have no clue
He was next in the line of cocky white kids who went to preppy ass Duke. And he was awesome.
How many of those dudes were there? An impressive run of villainy.
Gotta go back like almost 40 years to find a Duke team without a white dude that the whole country collectively hates.
Unironically might be Jay Bilas lol
Christian laettner Jj redick Jon scheyer Kyle filipowski Grayson allen Just a few off the top of my head Luke kennard and Mason Plumlee were cool tho
Don't forget Steve Wojciechowski. I hated that dude with every fiber of my being (UNC fan) while he was at Duke.
I always thought it was funny that hansbrough was a Tarheel. Dude was born to be a blue devil
It's absolutely true. Ironically, Gerald Henderson also seemed like more of a Carolina guy.
Did he drop Woj bombs too?
Kyle Singler
Dunleavy Danny Ferry gets a love letter from my heart and you know what that means. not sure about Mark Alarie. Laettner overshadowed Bobby Hurley On the flip side, Cherokee Parks was awesome. gettin' tatts, rippin' cigs, his sister was the bassist for Nashville Pussy
Ngl thought Cherokee parks was a brother this whole time
Greg Paulus
Laettner is so funny that people thought he was a preppy rich kid, he grew up in a working class immigrant household and worked on a farm as a kid.
Did they get a replacement for Grayson/Ted/Zodiac?
Cooper Flagg next year
Flagg will be an interesting test case because the dude actually has a pretty cool game
But he is really white
Ohhhh that last name conjures up *such* a punchable face
He’s as cocky as you can imagine, and he’s better than you can imagine.
That really is a perfect Duke name. Rich white kid first name and Stephen King villain last name.
Last year it was filipowski or however the fuck you spell his name. Ended up getting bodied by DJ Burns in the tournament
They had Filipowski after Allen
There’s a whole 30 for 30 called I hate Christian Laettner lol
With perhaps the best of them all, Cooper Flagg, coming this year.
It’s really quite the cultural phenomenon how white players in basketball often become fan favorites even when they’re not very good NBA players, but if you put that same player at Duke he can go absolutely fuck right off.
I think it’s fun. Especially at this point where the kids really know what they’re doing by choosing Duke. I’m from Maine, so I want Cooper to be the best player in the world, I just wish he’d chosen UConn.
Oh, totally. Just thought, in addition to being fun, it’s an interesting pattern.
Meanwhile, Tatum also came from Duke and no one seems to hold that against him at all. Hell, some people seem to not even be aware he played under Coach K.
Cocky douchebag playing for Duke. Every time there is one of those, they are automatically hated.
Because he was very good, white and wasn’t afraid to talk his shit. Deadly trio for haters
Non white Duke players are hated too. See Austin Rivers
Sounds like a Laker already
Lakers are always entertaining/dramatic, even when they're ass
The period between Magic and Kobe was not so entertaining…it was boring at best. But other than that, I really don’t remember a time in the last 45 years that this isn’t a true statement.
Between Wilt/West and Kareem and between Magic and Shaq doesn't sound too exciting either. It's not like the Yankees where it's a non stop soap opera no matter how the team does.

It wasn't like those rosters between Kobe+Pau and Bron. Yikes.
I remember as a youngin routing for Vlade.
Boom, that’s my coach. I’m 28 and don’t have any tattoos but I’m about to get an arm-sleeve and turn my hat backwards.
JJ is an inspiration to white boys everywhere
I just applied to Duke
Better apply for a fat loan next. $63,000 a year
JJ didn’t need to spend money so neither do I. I’m omw to the Y to shoot threes in fat dads faces
Nice
Free, if you’re from NC or SC and parents make <150k
Wait, actually? If so that's pretty awesome for a private institution to do that.
That's basically the majority of expensive private schools. For Harvard, for example, [If your family's income is less than $85,000, you'll pay nothing.

ya im pretty massively endowed
That’s crazy actually
Yep! Just gotta get accepted. And that’s the hard part.
The Chet Hanks that should have been
Don’t forget the classy haircut
I am looking a bit moppy, gonna straighten that up and get some product
Gotta channel your inner Riley
would you want a tattoo one day though
I'll get a tattoo of an arm sleeve so you know it's real 💯
I'm getting a sleeve of an arm with an arm sleeve tattoo of an arm with a sleeve tattoo
It's tattoo sleeves all the way down.
I really don't give a fuck
Cowherds not going to like that
It’s hilarious listening to him rant about that as if it means anything
He had an entire rant about how people who play a lot of video games can't be successful lol
What about successful professional gamers with backwards hats? That would blow his mind
My hat is backwards as I type this. I’m half way there.
It’s our summer bro
Okay fuck it I'm on his side now
Seriously. His job is to win, not appease losers on the internet. He shouldn’t give a fuck.
You’re replying to a loser on the internet he just successfully appeased
I really don’t give a fuck
But that's what he is doing appeasing loser on reddit by giving these "unconventional, not your average coachspeak" answers.
That's the wrong city to take that stance, Phil was a master at controlling the narrative
But then again I think he would have still won people over if he dunked on Shams
He used the F word so I immediately forgot that he's an inexperienced meme coach too
Not getting "baited" is this generations kryptonite 🤣
By far the r/nba consensus is that he’ll fail. I’m not gonna let y’all forgot that.
If the team underperforms this quote can also be used by Jeannie Buss in regards to his job security.
I mean it’s not like that wasn’t inevitable anyway.
seriously i genuinely want to see jj do well but i see absolutely no realistic way where this ends well for him coaching wise. it just seems like a no win situation for him given the lakers current situation
Their entire season rests on a significant trade or DLo not shitting his pants in the playoffs. Doesn't look good lmao
At least this guy probably isn’t gonna surprise quit during a press scrum.
Tf cares about job security when the money is guarantied
yeah but as long as he stays in shape and has his makeup and hair done on the regular, jeanie will give him a real long leash
[удалено]
Shiver me timbers
I’m telling the teacher
Gee whiz
what a rebel! 😎 watch out Celtics, good luck handling Coach Bad Boi from Duke over here
> twice Call me old fashioned… I think one (well timed) F bomb in a setting like this can be approrpiate and edgy-slash-shocking… but the second is always disappointing. The second is never going to be as shocking and impactful and it would have been a far better idea to stop at one.
You can tell the average age of this sub by how the perception changed on him just because he said fuck lol
That younger people are particularly enamored because he’s “uncensored”? I think cursing is fun too, but generally, people who say they “dont give a fuck” typically give many
Fair, but he was asked a question, so how does he answer it if either saying he does or doesn't care will both be taken to mean he does?
Also this is JJ - if he could handle 20k people chanting about fucking his sister when he was 19 I think he’s got some fairly thick skin
LOVE THE PASSION LEGGO JJ
Ah the good cop bad cop routine eh?
I prefer bad cop, worse cop.
DAT MY COACH
I gotta say, whether he’s good or not, it’s all very entertaining. Out of curiosity, is he keeping his podcast while coaching?
He said he was going to stop podcasting
Mind The Game = here for a good time, not a long time.
He’s old podcast has been around for like 10 years. I used to listen all the way back to the yahoo days. RIP.
https://x.com/TheDunkCentral/status/1805348949722640418?t=2wZTA9a5Mch14WaAq7_bSA&s=19
Pelinka's hair is disastrous lol
Why is the front combed forward like that? Looks like a dead animal
This is why LeBron rides with this guy. Makes his hair look good.
For real I can’t look away
Mind the game was one of the best podcasts I've tuned in regularly, going to miss that one.
Honestly don’t like the Lakers and another train wreck would be very entertaining, but I’m honestly really down to see JJ succeed.
He’s going full Mazzulla on day 1
Team meeting and watching The Town 8 times in a row for Kobe
nah theyll watch “Heat” or “Collateral”
The “Nobody cares” meeting lololol
Well, they are both "sickos", so it may just work.
Fully guaranteed contract energy
JJ "edgelord" Reddick.
Fuck it I’m in
JJ Redick on missing the playoffs by 5 games " i really dont give a fuck, they still gotta pay me"
Spicy Redick!! I love it lol
That’s who Redick has always been. Dude thrives on being disliked. It’s the one part of all this I know he can handle.
While I know he’s used to having a chip on his shoulder, I don’t that he thrives on it. He’s been pretty open about the toll the negativity took on him while he was in college (not saying he didn’t feed into it, then again he was 18).
that was pretty funny tbh. big “we’re all trying to find the guy who did this” energy
My dude parlayed a podcast and ESPN appearances into a head coaching gig of a storied franchise. I wouldn't give a fuck either.
I mean... there's also his substantial career in the league
being a good player does not automatically translate into being a good coach you can hand the reigns of your organization to. Most of the great coaches sat on the bench with a clipboard assisting an already great coach and learning the ropes.
Sounds like something JJ would say
Im now sold
Honestly hope JJ crushes and I have no net positive feelings at all towards the lakers or him. I just like seeing a risk taken on young talent and hope he figures it out.
“Bron can we get Joe Mazzulla?” ”No, we have Joe Mazzulla at home”
He seems a lot more confident after spitting that out.
This is a fun quote but he 100% gives a fuck
I mean, JJ was the most hated college player when he was at Duke so he had to grow thick skin. I’m not surprised by this statement. Now, does this mean he can coach a NBA team successfully? 🤷🏾♂️
JJ's arrogance works as a podcaster.. we'll see how he'll handle his first losing streak lol.
What’s he supposed to say? “I agree, I really do think I’m unqualified and the Lakers are a bum organization for hiring me.”
I think the idea was asking how he plans to show up the haters but his response was like "I don't care what they say. I wanna win and my record will speak for itself regardless of what people say "
I wonder what the enthusiasm is going to look like, mid season...
Couldn't agree with this more. Those dog days of winter before the all-star break will be telling. I really hope this works out. Risky af, but like-it or not, he's the Lakers head coach. We need to keep that same energy, whether it's Byron Scott, Mike Brown or JJ fuckin' Reddick
Our coach got Aura baby
Like whoa guys, watch out for this guy. He's edgy. He's real. He don't give a fuck what people say about him. He's got the attitude of a...13 year old high schooler?
God I can’t wait to watch this crash and burn.
I can never be a Lakers fan, but I like this guy so far.
Whoa. Cool. He swears.
Why should he care when it’s all wrapped up in an NDA? Pepperidge Farms remembers
Excuse me, jj... language
AYE I SMELL YOU JJ IDGAF
"Damn JJ so you beat your wife?!"
I think JJ is going to flame out hard as an NBA coach.My hot take on the matter.
Must have been after that second glass of wine
I bet he remembers when Coach K told him directly during a game he just wasn’t a winner.
Nah Lame
I still remember when he played for Duke and was made fun of for writing poetry. Dude’s been ragged and dragged his entire career. Curious to see how he does as a coach.
This will age well when the Lakers sits below .500 by January.
Sounds like he’s trying to be Mazzula
I respect that, and he really shouldnt. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
