ESPN found gold in JJ Redick, and I desperately hope they begin to realize you can win with professionalism and authenticity instead of having analysts playing characters, and living off intentionally poor takes for the sake of clicks and ratings.

DeMar DeRozan's biggest idol was Kobe Bryant. Here's how HAUNTINGLY SIMILAR their Age 32-seasons are on a Per36 scale: DeMar: 26.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 7.8 FT/A, 23.8 PER Kobe: 26.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 7.6 FT/A, 23.9 PER That's borderline creepy.
