“Anthony Davis is one of the two or three best defensive players in the NBA”
JJ Redick responds to @termineradio’s question about his decision to leave the #Lakers star center off his media All-Defensive ballot with @jumpshot8 and Ryan McDonough at #NBA2KSummerLeague
Basically he said he had to: “factor in the stats, the advanced stats, and of course the team performance on defense. And he said in both years he heavily weighed the team performed defensively.

Mf just forgot him and now he has to make up shit.
“I didn’t know I’d be his coach a few months later”
Thank god he did not make some stupid takes against the Lakers during his ESPN time.
only against firemen and plumbers
Ah yes of course your teammates’ performance on defense is such an important factor determining who is DPOY.
Unless he meant his teammates were carrying him, that’s dumb.
Because a bunch of stuff that doesn’t matter lol
People just gotta start using their eyes and watching basketball man. Any stat that says AD is not at minimum a top 5 defender when healthy is wrong (And he was pretty healthy last year)
JJ is super articulate but even he can’t really explain that one away. AD not making any defensive team last year was just wrong. Jarrett Allen had a great year defensively, better than AD tho? Herb jones more impactful than AD? He’s gonna have to keep hearing that L
“I thought it’d be funny.”
Yeah ok
Leaving AD off was bullshit no matter how you look at it. JJ just needs to admit it was a dumbass, biased decision.
A fan can make choices based on stats. He should be fired before even coaching for one game if his choices are going to be based purely on stats and not on a player’s performance basis.
Absolute nonsense 💀
It doesn’t make sense to say AD is a top 3 defender in the NBA, and less than 30 seconds later to justify not having him as All Defense.
“Let me see how I can bullshit my way out of this one”
Damage control
Gobert & Wemby are better is why
Well, JJ, you’re an NBA coach now, get ready for everyone online telling you that you’re a moron who doesn’t WATCH GAMES like them and knows shit about basketball unlike them.
Have to give AD motivation to improve. Why would AD work hard if his coach already thinks he’s an elite defender. 5D chess
Love how he sounds condescending even when making up a bullshit explanation lol
He just doesn’t know ball
He had SGA on there but not chet or Dort
OKC had 3 guys barely kiss an all defensive team bc nobody actually watches them and just picked random players
Dort should’ve made a team and I’d argue chet too
…lol, okay.
Bad liar. Bad sign
“All your other lazy fucks on the team? Yeah, it’s your fault I left him off.”
—JJ
So basically he’s saying the other players suck on defense
I’m already exhausted by JJ
The Lakers under Reddick is most likely going to be a disaster but also quite entertaining due to the potential drama.
DPOY is likely Wemby’s to lose for maybe the next 7-8 years. Will sorta just depend on how much talent SA puts around him.
But, AD could well be the second-best defender in the league. Would EASILY take him over someone like Gobert.
Ok

Damn you guys are cooking his ass 😭😂
That’s weird because Caruso and Wemby were on his first team.
It begins. The microanalysis
I don’t understand how anyone who remotely knows basketball can say AD is not top 5 MINIMUM. Not only does he get all the highlight plays, he is incredibly sound fundamentals wise and carries that team. Just inexcusable tbh.
“What had happened was…”
