Redick shot off during an episode of The Big Podcast With Shaq, sharing a controversial statement about Michael Jordan and how his greatness played in. “I think it’s fair to just say there are different tiers of greatness,” Redick said. “... I’ll say this with Michael Jordan - and I don’t mean this to be controversial, but like everybody talks about the context of this era... Jordan was drafted during his heyday, and six teams were added to the NBA. There were 90 players added to the NBA... Does that not water down the regular season to a degree?” The article’s author, Farbod Esnaashari, referred to Redick as “a sharp basketball mind, Redick knows the game, but does regularly rub people the wrong way with how he speaks on prior eras of NBA basketball.” Redick, along with Doris Burke and Mike Breen, have been covering the postseason together, but the former Duke Blue Devil’s name has been mentioned for head coaching positions. specifically with the Charlotte Hornets and most recently the Los Angeles Lakers.
