JJ Redick quickly transitioned from NBA player to podcaster and media figure, and now to NBA head coach with the Los Angeles Lakers, marking a rapid career shift this summer after several years in media. Redick now faces the repercussions of his career change, particularly concerning his intellectual property.
On Monday, Redick took significant steps in this regard. He posted what is likely his final video for the foreseeable future on his YouTube channel, which boasts over a million subscribers, expressing gratitude to his audience. He also addressed the future of ThreeFourTwo Productions, the production company he co-founded, and his highly popular podcast, ‘Old Man & the Three’.
The new Lakers coach began the video by acknowledging the obvious: he will no longer be involved in new projects for the company or the podcast as he shifts his full focus to the upcoming season with Los Angeles. However, this doesn’t mean the end of what he helped build.
“We will continue to operate,” Redick stated. “Content will keep coming out. There’s some incredible stuff, including a major interview later this week. While I won’t be part of it, I wanted to say one last thank you to everyone who subscribed, listened, and watched. Thank you, guys. This is a new chapter, a new challenge in my life that I’m very excited about. But I’m also grateful for the last four years and all we’ve accomplished.”
“You’re in good hands with Jason Gallagher, Tommy Alter, Richie Bozek, and the rest of the team at 342,” he concluded.
Throughout the video, Redick doesn’t delve into specifics, but it’s clear he won’t be part of the podcast anymore, and his role in the production company will likely be significantly reduced or eliminated altogether as he focuses on his coaching career. Coaching demands considerable attention, leaving Redick with little time for other commitments in the near future.
Despite this, ‘The Old Man & the Three’ podcast will carry on. The evolution of its content without Redick’s insights and perspective as a former player discussing basketball will be intriguing to observe.
