No doubt JJ is a better offensive player than Hollis and plenty of other guards in the NBA. But the comments throwing Jeff under the bus are quite amazing. On the other hand, considering his education, I should have expected nothing less. BTW, thrilled that Hollis has carved out a career in the NBA. I will not claim that I expected it.

On the other hand, considering his education, I should have expected nothing less. BTW, thrilled that Hollis has carved out a career in the NBA. I will not claim that I expected it. Whether you think JJ Redick is right or wrong or what he said is true or false, you never say things like that about a teammate. That's like any of the other Clippers going on TV and saying they may have had a chance to beat Portland even without CP3 and Blake Griffin if Redick could have remotely defended McCollum or the Clippers would win more games if Redick could play any defense whatsoever which is also true but as a good teammate your never suppose to do that. That's an unwritten locker room rule. You don't ever throw your teammates under the bus like that. You win as a team, lose as a team and push your teammates to be the best they can. Also out of this last season, Jeff Green has statistically had a better career then Redick and Jeff had on beven with the Clippers for only 2 months not even a chance to really practice with the team and go through a training camp. Redick barely played his first 4/5 years in Orlando because he couldn't defend a lick. He still can't defend a lick and might be on the end of somebody's bench if Doc Rivers didn't save his career and try to use him in the mold of a Ray Allen in Boston. He should be more self aware and allow Jeff Green the opportunity to turn his career around under the guidance of Doc Rivers. Whether Jeff has or hasn't played up to his abilities is not the point. The point is good teammate doesn't throw another teammate under the bus on National TV. What Redick did was truly a Edited move, I mean a duke move.

Just going to go ahead and post this link as a possible reason for any bad blood he might have vis a vis Green and the Hoyas.

Harrison Barnes turned down 64m for 4 years, and he's probably going to get more than that. Otto is younger and better. 16m a year should be his floor. David Falk is his agent, so I don't think he's going to sell low. I would argue that Porter is better than Harrison Barnes. Harrison is a real threat from anywhere on the floor and compliments Thompson and Curry perfectly. And I am a Porter fan.

You just can't rehearse this stuff. Allen Iverson lets it rip on the what John Thompson meant to him as a coach.

Speaking at Dikembe, he was back for his 25th reunion at Georgetown. My sister and brother-in-law (same class of 1966 as me) were seated at the same table as Dikembe. Of course, my brother-in-law, being a great Georgetown sports fan, gets up and sits right next to Dikembe, which caused him later in the evening to say to my sister, "Nancy, how can you put up with this guy." My sister had nothing but praise for Dikembe.
