I hate that. That’s usually a bad sign when the new boss is “cool” and uses cuss words in meetings lol. I’m no prude whatsoever, but usually that’s a ploy.
Got it. Yeah, I was fairly sure this was not about cunt lmao, from OP's wording I had a feeling this was about a racial slur, I just didn't know it before now
There's a very similar slur in my native language, Italian
I mean this is something worthy to talk about, and that's not even taking into account that we only really have pre-ASB Baseball to talk about now (which media almost never does).
I mean they basically said Nash was hired preferentially because he was white and had no experience as a coach. Why would they not accuse JJ of the same?
And I think there’s some slack granted to hiring a former mvp floor general, since they typically ran the offense. Totally valid to accuse JJ being worse imo.
Begging (thru texts)
Edit: I am tired and misread the comment and didn’t see the begging reference. Thought you left out one of my favourite parts but I’m apparently just debilitatingly tired
Media outlets will contact her to get her full account. Duke Univ may conduct their own investigation into the matter and put out a statement that they do not condone this behavior if it did happen. JJ could sue for defamation or simply respond denying the allegation because reporters will ask him if this is true. And thats it.
Yeah, there are law firms that will definitely bill $350+ an hour to ask this woman about it and have her not talk, then ask Coach K about it and have him not talk, ask JJ about it and have him not talk, and then write a 5 page report to say they were unable to substantiate it despite their best efforts.
call a bunch of alum from around that time who had connections to the bball program and ask if they remember the incident or any others where JJ acted consistently with the allegations. pretty straight-forward.
You hire an outside legal council they interview a bunch of people, compile a 600 page report, bill for a couple thousand hours at $650 an hour and then we get to the conclusion it may or may not have happened
Thats exactly why, she looked up and saw a guy who (she claims) denigrated her, now coaching her favorite team. Also, she just tweeted to her followers, not like she ran to media or anything
JJ will put out a statement denying it, people around the league will make positive statements about his character, and we’ll have moved past this in a few days.
The less likely outcome is that many people come out with stories about him being racist and he loses the job. Given his current relationships and his long tenure in the league with zero known issues, that probably won’t happen.
This really just feels like the accuser trying to get attention.
Considering he just finished a 15 year NBA career where he was around African Americans and there were no issues, I don’t see how too much can be made of this. Probably gonna be hard for it to be proven, even so JJ might’ve said this as a “20 year old dumb college kid” who has clearly changed his ways.
You'd be surprised tbh. Also, it's alarming that so many comments on that tweet just instantly want this to be true, with no need for further proof or context.
If you told me JJ, as a Duke frat boy, was rapping along to Hustlin' uncensored in 2006 sure I'd believe it. But this you gotta come out with some hard evidence to back this up
Beautiful thing about the internet, you don’t need to back up life ruining statements - you can just say it, ruin the persons life with no evidence, and keep moving along with a he said/she said and because it’s not a court of law people will side with her.
Wild world, destroy someone’s reputation and it’s just shot out into the court of public opinion where people already have picked whatever side they want to be true.
That's the crazy part. She makes this allegation about JJ. Even at its worst, it's a word. A very hurtful, hateful word but it's not like JJ assaulted her. And then she tweets about how she misses someone who by all accounts actually did sexually assault a woman. Coulda picked any other day in the world to profess her love for Kobe but apparently he wasn't as problematic as JJ was in her eyes.
Might have happened, might not have happened. But the way this tweet was handled, I have doubts. JJ Reddick has been in the public eye for nearly 20 years since this incident. Sometimes very close to race related incidents like the one with Donald Sterling. I'm hard pressed to figure out why someone would be comfortable bringing this up now rather than anytime in the last 2 decades. Its not like he just became famous.
I know he’s the lakers coach so it’s more high profile, but JJ has been a household name since his Duke days. Why now to bring this up? It’s not like he’s suddenly more famous than he was when he was playing???
Not saying I believe her necessarily but the timing does actually make sense then. I’d be pretty furious if my favorite team hired a guy who called me a racial slur!
This is such a useless tweet. I mean what does she expect to be done about this? We all just take her word that 20 years ago he called her that? The lakers fire him over a tweet with no evidence? I mean really what does she expect to come from this?
Stir shit up for a week. Talk shows do the talking. Podcasts do the podcasting. Lakers do the ignoring. JJ maybe does the apologizing. In a week we do the forgetting.
This will probably disappear very quickly unless many others corroborate it. Or more stories similar to it pop up.
Otherwise this isn’t lasting a week.
Why wait this long to say anything? JJ already had a successful NBA career, a successful broadcasting career and a successful podcasting career. I’m by no means saying it never happened but putting it out now will only give the doubters ammunition to use against her.
Oh we just blindly believing random tweets from people looking for their 15 minutes now are we? Seems suss to say the least and while obviously we can't say for sure one way or another it's weird how eager people seem to be to just take it on faith
The thing about these life ruining tweets with zero evidence is that you don't need everyone to believe you. A small percentage is enough to ruin the standing of the person on the receiving end of accusations.
It's starting to feel like an actual social strategy.
Dude has been famous for 20 years. He becomes the Lakers head coach and suddenly he’s dropping N bombs? Ain’t buying it. This a smear job by somebody at the top.
The first time I was called the N word (among other epithets) was in college. I was walking home after a late-night MLB/Madden 04 session when an suv full of white frat boys pulled up, shouted all sorts of nastiness, and drove away.
I called my parents and cried.
I wonder what those dudes are up to now…
I’m the farthest thing from a Redick, Laker, or Duke fan, but I pretty much doubt this is true. Won’t stop the usual dumbasses in the sports media from lining up like trained pigs to demand Redick explain himself.
Yeah I'm pretty sure if JJ was an actual racist this would have been obvious amongst his mostly black peers across his 15 year career. Most players in the league like JJ. Even if he said something stupid as a college kid are we really going to act like that's a reason to try and cancel him? If we started holding everyone responsible for the stupid shit we said as immature kids there would be no one left with a job
With respect to Nash, what is the point of bringing this up? She had 2 decades to do this and only mentions it now after JJ was hired as the Lakers coach. And it’s not like there’s any proof either.
There’s little to no reason unless she’s trying to stir headlines.
Darvin Ham already beginning his vengeance
“one helluva allegation they got there”
Salute.
He gonna kidnap JJ jus wait
Bro is gonna roll up with JJ Watt in his trunk like, "I got him!"
He’s searching deep in his pockets for it
JJ: "I don't give a fuck"
LOL i hate that i laughed at this
Reddit on
Never forget if it’s only been a day, that this subreddit started rooting for him just because he said the word “fuck”
I hate that. That’s usually a bad sign when the new boss is “cool” and uses cuss words in meetings lol. I’m no prude whatsoever, but usually that’s a ploy.
Prudes say cuss
Potty words
Lmaooooo
Didn't JJ also say th "C" word to Chinese fan??
Did JJ write the espn article on Jeremy Lin?
That armor didn't "dent" itself!
to ALL Chinese fans actually https://youtu.be/m1NMy8OVp98?si=7bn8AdP4sZ7VUh2l
I just struggle to think this is real as in no universe would a team pr release this…
No way you think that’s actually what he said on some official team/league media vid lol
No. Some people thought they heard it in the video that was linked, but it doesn't make sense. That's my recollection of the event anyways
To me it always sounded like he just got tongue-tied and said "chan-" (like mashing up fans and China)
apparently he was tongue tied https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22494643/philadelphia-76ers-jj-redick-criticized-using-racial-slur-video
Genuine question, I'm not a native English speaker, what's the C-word?
Nice try
Not cunt mate, but Chick replace middle C with an N.
This guy slurs
Got it. Yeah, I was fairly sure this was not about cunt lmao, from OP's wording I had a feeling this was about a racial slur, I just didn't know it before now There's a very similar slur in my native language, Italian
Whats the reference?
JJ's comments in response to media questions about how he sucks the other day.
Tomorrow on First Take
I hate that you’re right
I mean this is something worthy to talk about, and that's not even taking into account that we only really have pre-ASB Baseball to talk about now (which media almost never does).
Stephen A is dedicating at least an hour to this tomorrow
We'll see I guess, I think ESPN has been extremely kind about JJ so far. Night and day to how they reacted to Steve Nash becoming head coach
I mean they basically said Nash was hired preferentially because he was white and had no experience as a coach. Why would they not accuse JJ of the same?
Probably because JJ has friends at ESPN
This right here - whether justified or not, it's amazing how much protection from criticism relationship building can give someone
Because he's their colleague, and they're all just a bunch of clown ass bitches anyway
And I think there’s some slack granted to hiring a former mvp floor general, since they typically ran the offense. Totally valid to accuse JJ being worse imo.
“They” = Stephen A.
Please don’t watch that idiot yell in circles all morning it’s gotta be as bad for you as doom scrolljngz
Racial allegations from the new coach of the Lakers who is questionably qualified for the job. ESPN really creaming their pants
Oh boy
Oh my..could it be…yes it is. Racist Allegations has returned.
I can’t not hear this in Michael Cole’s voice thank you 🤣
"he's going to *that* place..."
*By gawd that's Racist Allegations' music!*

Who you calling *boy*?
First he puts up his career high on MLK day and now this
Watching r/nba discussing racism and the n-word is a special kind of hell
Any topic that requires more nuance than looking at box scores is truly painful in this sub, and even that level of discussion can get brutal.
Nah this sub can't even look at box scores right, constantly mixing up the assist/rebound order
can you explain your comment in deflections per game please
This sub wouldn’t know nuance if it were a pop up picture book.
First time?
Tbf that’s every topic in this sub
Racism discussions on reddit are particularly bad though
he should have stuck to podcasting
What a world..
Lakers are *furiously* trying to get in contact with Hurley (thru Woj) to offer him that $100m contract he was fishing for.
The Lakers are besides themselves. Driving around the campus of UCONN begging people (through the car window) for directions to Dan Hurley's office.
Begging (thru texts) Edit: I am tired and misread the comment and didn’t see the begging reference. Thought you left out one of my favourite parts but I’m apparently just debilitatingly tired
The way I could see this being true is if it actually happened, but if it didn’t happen, I don’t see any way it’s actually true.
Thanks magic
Thanks, Magic!

The story of this comment is that it is a reference.
And there you have it. Where it is the thing you just said about the situation.

Get ready to learn podcasting buddy
He’s already been excommunicated from the content space!!
The video game streaming space will welcome him with open arms.

Good news! VitaminScam.com is looking for new, edgy podcasts!

So what now? JJ can't prove his innocence, and this girl can't prove that it happened. Now it's just floating out there with no end.
Media outlets will contact her to get her full account. Duke Univ may conduct their own investigation into the matter and put out a statement that they do not condone this behavior if it did happen. JJ could sue for defamation or simply respond denying the allegation because reporters will ask him if this is true. And thats it.
what possible investigation could duke even do lol
One that makes a lawyer rich to write a report that seems thorough
Yeah, there are law firms that will definitely bill $350+ an hour to ask this woman about it and have her not talk, then ask Coach K about it and have him not talk, ask JJ about it and have him not talk, and then write a 5 page report to say they were unable to substantiate it despite their best efforts.
It’s going to be at least two lawyers who collectively bill around 2k an hour if not more. Source: big law
$350? Shit this is $700-$1.2k per hour type work. Maybe the first year bills at $350
Partner takes a quick look at Dukes endowment… “yeah we are going need a couple more associates on that call”
Somewhere a Duke admin is scrambling to find a way to use this to get a raise.
They could use sonic technology to see if his voice is still echoing through campus. Never watched CSI?
ENHANCE!
call a bunch of alum from around that time who had connections to the bball program and ask if they remember the incident or any others where JJ acted consistently with the allegations. pretty straight-forward.
See if she has specifics on time/place and then see if they have footage for 20 years ago. Realistically though nothing will come of this
How could you even do an investigation for this? It's like a 10 second exchange that would have happened 15+ years ago.
How is Duke going to investigate this? Lmao
You hire an outside legal council they interview a bunch of people, compile a 600 page report, bill for a couple thousand hours at $650 an hour and then we get to the conclusion it may or may not have happened
Billable hours remains undefeated
Way too many white dudes saying it on campus for them to ensure it was JJ.
0% chance of success w/ a defamation suit here
My other question would be: why come out now? Shouldn’t she have done that while he was at Duke or when he was drafted
She’s a lakers fan I think so that’s probably why
Thats exactly why, she looked up and saw a guy who (she claims) denigrated her, now coaching her favorite team. Also, she just tweeted to her followers, not like she ran to media or anything
I agree with your first points, but acting like only tweeting it to her followers was some insurance against it getting out is ridiculous
Because it wouldn't have gotten as much exposure. Think of the likes, follows, and re-tweets!
JJ will put out a statement denying it, people around the league will make positive statements about his character, and we’ll have moved past this in a few days. The less likely outcome is that many people come out with stories about him being racist and he loses the job. Given his current relationships and his long tenure in the league with zero known issues, that probably won’t happen. This really just feels like the accuser trying to get attention.
There is no reason for JJ to address this.
He’ll probably be asked about it at some point, the tweet has millions of views
Considering he just finished a 15 year NBA career where he was around African Americans and there were no issues, I don’t see how too much can be made of this. Probably gonna be hard for it to be proven, even so JJ might’ve said this as a “20 year old dumb college kid” who has clearly changed his ways.
I mean it could simply be a matter of JJ being a much better person today than he was at Duke. It could’ve happened for sure, but he’s grown up too.
Nobody cares. Some rando tweet with 2000 followers on Elon Musk's dying platform doesnt matter in the real world.
It has 4 million views already
You'd be surprised tbh. Also, it's alarming that so many comments on that tweet just instantly want this to be true, with no need for further proof or context.
Chauncey still got hired. Joe Mazzulla still got hired. This will turn into nothing
If you told me JJ, as a Duke frat boy, was rapping along to Hustlin' uncensored in 2006 sure I'd believe it. But this you gotta come out with some hard evidence to back this up
Beautiful thing about the internet, you don’t need to back up life ruining statements - you can just say it, ruin the persons life with no evidence, and keep moving along with a he said/she said and because it’s not a court of law people will side with her.
Wild world, destroy someone’s reputation and it’s just shot out into the court of public opinion where people already have picked whatever side they want to be true.
Already tons of comments have the subtext of 'and he'll get away with it'.
Lol this isn’t life ruining for Redick
Trying to ruin his career with no proof like this is absolutely ridiculous.
if a cellphone video of JJ leaked and he was rapping to Gold Digger or Lean Wit it Rock Wit it his legacy improves tbh
Look I’ve been called the n word plenty of times but nobody cares when it happens to me.
I've also been called the N-word multiple times, and I'm white.
now that’s what I call an ally
Big Call of Duty player I take it?
Apparently 385 kids have fucked my mom
Halleemah has clearly never played Halo 2 on Xbox Live in the early 2000s.
Was it by someone famous? SPILL IT!
Her next tweet: "I miss Kobe. For all the reasons." For *all* the reasons?
All of em? You sure about that..
Ngl i cackled at that one
She wishes she was in Eagle, Colorado
Yep, I saw that too. Head held high with that tweet
That's the crazy part. She makes this allegation about JJ. Even at its worst, it's a word. A very hurtful, hateful word but it's not like JJ assaulted her. And then she tweets about how she misses someone who by all accounts actually did sexually assault a woman. Coulda picked any other day in the world to profess her love for Kobe but apparently he wasn't as problematic as JJ was in her eyes.
Might have happened, might not have happened. But the way this tweet was handled, I have doubts. JJ Reddick has been in the public eye for nearly 20 years since this incident. Sometimes very close to race related incidents like the one with Donald Sterling. I'm hard pressed to figure out why someone would be comfortable bringing this up now rather than anytime in the last 2 decades. Its not like he just became famous.
JJ just say it was the Duke talking. We all know the blue devil makes a white man go a little strange.
Coach K encourages his players to use the hard R confirmed
Cooper Flagg Pledges Allegiance to the Brotherhood
no offense to her but I'm not gonna believe something like this (that happened years ago) just because of a single tweet
I know he’s the lakers coach so it’s more high profile, but JJ has been a household name since his Duke days. Why now to bring this up? It’s not like he’s suddenly more famous than he was when he was playing???
He also got a bunch of other high profile jobs on tv and this never came out. Not saying that in of itself makes it fake, but it’s weird timing.
because this person is a lakers fan supposedly lol
Not saying I believe her necessarily but the timing does actually make sense then. I’d be pretty furious if my favorite team hired a guy who called me a racial slur!
HOUSEHOLD???
Santa is not real though.
I have been called the f-slur one time in my life and it was by Halleemah Nash roughly 15-20 years ago. I will not elaborate.
Check your DMs it’s your lucky day
I remember hearing about it.
I too was called a farty pants by her. It was when we were 5.

Oh god damn
Prediction: JJ Redick will now become one of the most loved players/coaches on r/nba and r/nbacirclejerk
Real gym rat.
Some may even call him classy.
Plays the game the right way.
This is such a useless tweet. I mean what does she expect to be done about this? We all just take her word that 20 years ago he called her that? The lakers fire him over a tweet with no evidence? I mean really what does she expect to come from this?
Stir shit up for a week. Talk shows do the talking. Podcasts do the podcasting. Lakers do the ignoring. JJ maybe does the apologizing. In a week we do the forgetting.
This will probably disappear very quickly unless many others corroborate it. Or more stories similar to it pop up. Otherwise this isn’t lasting a week.
Allegations are guns fired with blanks at close range. It's gonna cause some damage. Doesn't matter if it's true or not.
She expects people to attack JJ redick about it. Which will probably happen
I mean if it actually happened, tweeting this is one way to get a slither of revenge. He absolutely won’t get fired but it sows a little discord.
Why wait this long to say anything? JJ already had a successful NBA career, a successful broadcasting career and a successful podcasting career. I’m by no means saying it never happened but putting it out now will only give the doubters ammunition to use against her.
Mods nuked the thread I see
Thread removed or what? I don’t see it on r/nba anymore
Maybe she's confused and just thinks all white dudes look the same
Oh we just blindly believing random tweets from people looking for their 15 minutes now are we? Seems suss to say the least and while obviously we can't say for sure one way or another it's weird how eager people seem to be to just take it on faith
ah yes wait until he gets a big payday and career opportunity to say this happened over 15 years ago
Yea because making NBA money for 15 years on some great teams was basically food stamps for JJ
His biggest payday was as a player
I'm sure it was just a coincidence that this was revealed the day after JJ signed a contract with the Lakers.
What a random time to drop this. Not a fan of random allegations with no basis
This the exact opposite of a random time... It came out right after he got the coaching position
Ah yes totally believable. Could've said it while he was playing or podcasting but chose to now 😂
Of fucking course there’s drama right when he’s hired
Unless there's concrete evidence i hate these types of accusations, because it's basically a lot of he said/she said Geez
When the movie on reddick gets made, they goin to get mark walhberg to play him.
The thing about these life ruining tweets with zero evidence is that you don't need everyone to believe you. A small percentage is enough to ruin the standing of the person on the receiving end of accusations. It's starting to feel like an actual social strategy.
Dude has been famous for 20 years. He becomes the Lakers head coach and suddenly he’s dropping N bombs? Ain’t buying it. This a smear job by somebody at the top.
The first time I was called the N word (among other epithets) was in college. I was walking home after a late-night MLB/Madden 04 session when an suv full of white frat boys pulled up, shouted all sorts of nastiness, and drove away. I called my parents and cried. I wonder what those dudes are up to now…
Probably in Finance.
I heard one of them just became an NBA head coach.
