JJ Redick Revives Courts for a Great Cause…
Holy Slam Dunk, Batman! JJ Redick, the maestro of the hardwood, has pulled a fast break on disaster by hosting a basketball bonanza for kiddies whose hoop dreams got singed by the wildfires. He’s whipping up the LA Strong Sports foundation faster than a buzzer-beating 3-pointer, with a game plan tighter than Spandex to rebuild sports facilities statewide. When calamity struck in Pacific Palisades, our heroic head coach had his own home air-balled by the blaze, but he’s back with a vengeance, ready to launch his forever LA journey like a comical comic character. “I’m as rooted as a well-defended center under the basket,” he declares, thinking of coaching the Lakers until flying cars are a norm!
But did JJ jackhammer down after the Palisades was torched? Oh, heck no! Our charismatic court captain is leading rebuilding efforts like a superhero in sneakers, because those rec center courts matter more than a sneaky one-handed dunk. “We’re in a rush — faster than a full-court press!” he remarked, hoping California wises up to timely tactics like a point guard looking at an open lane to the basket. And that’s not all folks — his fledgling foundation just dropkicked $10 million into the fray and plans to rally another $50 million for the cause!
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes — or should we say like a desperate team down by 20 trying for a comeback — the Lakers got their mojo back by going rim-to-rim against the Memphis Grizzlies! After a chat with the likes of Austin Reaves, Luka Doncic, and The King himself, LeBron James, JJ called them to powerhouse-up those three-man attacks. “Play with force, folks,” was his jazzy jazz hands message — and boy oh boy, did it lead to a fourth-quarter storm fit to make Logan and O’Brien high-five from the commentator box! So, why haven’t you subscribed to their YouTube, yet? It’s like missing the play-by-play of a half-court heave at the final buzzer!
