J.J. Redick Will Rock Your Party
The Baseline — ... poetry he used to write at Duke has given way to jokes about a rap project with teammate Marcin Gortat and Ryan Anderson. And shockingly, he's pretty funny talking about, dodging the question of "East Coast or West Coast" with the cryptic "we have some influences." I don't know if this kind of harsh rehabilitation is for everyone, but it's safe to say Redick's been thoroughly de-Duke-ified. Expect his NBA career to only climb from here. (H/T to NBA Offseason)

JJ Redick is Funny. Rap Album Shtick = Hilarious!
The Big Lead — ... new teammate Ryan Anderson blew up his spot. Amazingly, the names for Redick’s “rap group” bear a striking resemblance to his NBA game - “sub-par, afterthought, and no profits.” The name for his first single is also ironic - “waste management.” Nice to see Redick still has a sense of humor after three disappointing seasons in the league. And this is the portion of the post where you wonder why Greg Oden’s not included in this project. [NBA Offseason] ...

JJ Redick…rap superstar?
Kentucky Sports Radio — Yes, you did hear that correctly. One of his boys offered to get him the cars, girls and money, and JJ declined, because “that’s not really the direction we want to head.” Duke Basketball: You couldn’t, under any circumstances, make this stuff up. (HT: The Big Lead & NBA Off-season )
