Los Angeles Lakers HC JJ Redick had his final news conference to wrap up the season and he basically called out Luka Dončić for being out of shape. He never mentions him by name, but his “we have to get in championship shape” comment was clearly directed at Luka. Dan tries to imagine who else on the squad JJ could have been referencing and comes up blank. He also wonders if this is the best approach for Redick to motivate his new star player.
Dan Patrick: “Is this calculated? Was this a good thing to do? If you’re Luka (Dončić), how are you taking this? You’ve, you know, spent the first, whatever, five years of your career listening to somebody or people say you’re out of shape…If I’m Luka, I’d be like, ‘Everybody knows you’re talking about me. Like, do you have to say that?’ Because it’s implied, he didn’t have to say Luka, everybody knew what he was talking about.”
