Jonathan Clay "JJ" Redick (/ˈrɛdɪk/ RED-ik) (born June 24, 1984) is an American former professional basketball player, podcaster and sports analyst for ESPN. He played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils, winning many individual awards. He was selected 11th overall by the Orlando Magic in the 2006 NBA draft and subsequently played for 15 seasons in the NBA, with six different teams.

Throughout college and his professional career, Redick was known for his excellent three-point and free-throw shooting.[1] He set ACC records during his career for most points and most career ACC tournament points at the time. Redick is the all-time leading scorer for Duke.[2][3] He continues to hold a few NCAA free throw percentage records and several ACC records.[4][5] He also set several other Duke records, including most points in a single season.

After being drafted by the Magic, he played for seven seasons in Orlando, followed by a short spell with the Milwaukee Bucks, then four seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers. In 2017, he signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, and re-signed with them on a one-year deal the following year. In 2019, Redick signed a two-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans. He was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2021. After 15 seasons in the NBA, Redick retired on September 21, 2021. Redick holds franchise single-season three-point field goal records for several of the teams he played for.

Redick became the first NBA player and the second active professional athlete to start a weekly podcast during the regular season.[6][7] It was started in 2016 at Yahoo! Sports.[8][9] He moved his podcast to media company Uninterrupted,[10][11][12] then continued his podcast episodes on The Ringer in 2017.[13] In 2020 he left The Ringer to start his own YouTube channel, and he co-founded the media company ThreeFourTwo Productions. [14] He occasionally appears on First Take.
