On June 24, 2024, the Los Angeles Lakers made a pivotal decision by appointing JJ Redick as their new head coach. Although Redick is new to coaching, he steered the Lakers toward notable achievements during the 2024-25 NBA regular season, showcasing his potential in this pivotal role.
The Lakers recently played the Houston Rockets in an intense game at Crypto.com Arena. Luka Doncic delivered an impressive performance, scoring 39 points, 7 assists, and 8 rebounds. Rui Hachimura also made a significant impact, contributing 16 points, 1 assist, and 5 rebounds. During the post-game interview, Hachimura revealed Redick’s bold mission for the Lakers this regular season.
“I actually didn’t know we were gonna do it and then who was it, I think LeBron did it or Vando. And it just kept going. The whole locker room is literally water. Straight water. He talked about how once he got hired, his goal was to get 50 wins and the third seed. So yeah, we did it and it was a big accomplishment for us. That’s why we did that.” Hachimura said.
What a debut season with the Lakers for JJ Redick 👏
