JJ Redick responds to Charles Barkley’s ‘useless man strolling’ criticism: ‘Do not care’

At some point after a clip of Basketball Corridor of Famer Charles Barkley ripping JJ Redick went viral, the Lakers coach issued his personal rebuttal — with indifference.

“I didn’t make it all the way through the clip, I gotta be honest with you,” Redick stated Friday earlier than the Lakers performed the Atlanta Hawks. “My resting heart rate is probably 64. I watched the clip, it was 64. Literally don’t care. I have other thoughts, but don’t care.”

Throughout highlights of Boston’s win in opposition to Minnesota, Barkley riffed on the Lakers’ coach after the variety of three-point pictures tried (96) was talked about.

“He said something about we’re the reason people ain’t watch this crappy product we got. Yeah, us, like we out there jacking up 100 threes a night. JJ, JJ, you come for the king, you better not miss. ‘Cause I can get you, brother, ‘cause I got your — remember, I got your Lakers games.”

There was extra.

“You can’t hide them flaws they got. You just a dead man walking,” one of many NBA’s most forward-facing voices stated. “They got rid of Frank Vogel, who did a good job. They got rid of Darvin Ham, who did a good job. You came out there thinking you were gonna change things with that same ugly girl you went on the date with.”

Barkley’s points seemingly stemmed from feedback Redick made two weeks in the past when requested in regards to the league’s decline in scores.

“I don’t think we as, and by we, I was part of it, we as the sort of national partners have done a good job of storytelling, of celebrating the game. If I’m a casual fan and you tell me every time I turn on the television that the product sucks, well I’m not gonna watch the product,” Redick stated on Dec. 19.

“And that’s really what has happened over the last 10-15 years. I don’t know why. It’s not funny to me. Nothing is entertaining to me. This game should be celebrated. I’ve watched the league evolve. I’m in this league right now. I can tell you without fact, or with fact that the league is more talented and not just raw talent. The league is more talented and skilled than it was 18 years ago when I was drafted. That’s a fact. There are more players that are excellent. There are more teams that are excellent.

“…We don’t have anybody that’s willing to step up to the fact that this is an awesome game and we should talk about it and celebrate it in a positive way. That doesn’t mean we don’t critique it. We should critique it, but we should celebrate it.”

Redick didn’t point out any media members by identify in his preliminary assertion.

He stated two Lakers assistants, Greg St. Jean and Beau Levesque, confirmed him the clip of Barkley’s feedback.
