Can't say I ever liked the guy but respect the fact he carved out himself a helluva NBA career.

[Vermont Green]

$116,423,821 of career earnings, just from the NBA (I assume there were some endorsements and other tangential earnings).

Not bad for a career 12.8 pts, 3 point specialist who really didn't do much else.

Always wanted JJ in Green.

I think his run from 2013-2019 as one of the most lethal perimeter shooters in the league is underrated, tbh.

We knew he was a shooter coming into the league.  But he worked hard to make himself a serviceable defender which is a huge reason he lasted more than just his rookie contract.

Like to see him in green this season but what a good career

[Kernewek]

It's been fun to watch him slowly* transition into the podcast host he was born to be towards the latter half of his career. A very pleasant person who definitely leaned into his persona/appearance as one of the most disliked players on the court (not in the least because he's a white dude from Duke), which is always fun.

I say slowly, iirc he started on this in 2015?

[Moranis]

Watching him at Duke I never thought he would amount to much, but he definitely worked hard and turned into a pretty solid player in his peak.

Almost the exact same avg. as Aaron Gordon, who does nothing well, and will have career earnings of $180M at the end of his extension.

Their career points are similar ( 12.7 / 12.8 ) but Gordon has more assists (2.5/2.0), considerably more rebounds (6.3/2.0), and Gordon offers far more defensive versatility.

It is a lot of money in either case for what are not star players but also not all that surprising for today's NBA.

I watched him a couple times before he was in college .  Good grief that was like 20 years ? Wow time flys

[Celtics4ever]

Best Wishes to him retiring now he is retired.   He certainly caused us some headaches during the PP era now and then.

[Celtics2021]

Redick was a solid player for a decade.  But for perspective, he was not a good NBA player for his first 2-3 seasons, despite having been a college senior.  Just another data point to remind some of us to be a little more patient with Langford, Nesmith, and Grant.  Nothing is set in stone for any of those three.

Very true.  I remember the Celtics kicking the tires on him.  I wish we’d had the chance to get him.  Korver had a rough rookie year, too.

Redick definitely did not play much in Orlando early on (that is when Dwight was in his prime and the Magic were a real contender), but when he did play he was always an excellent shooter.  That is the worry for someone like Langford, who has just been bad shooting the ball.
