JJ Redick didn’t take long to land another job after officially retiring from professional basketball last month. Redick’s next step will be television, as he recently accepted the position of an NBA analyst with ESPN.

According to the network, Redick will make the debut in his new role in early November for the Brooklyn Nets vs. Atlanta Hawks game. He is expected to do studio analyst work while also contributing to a number of ESPN’s shows during the week.

Working in media won’t be a new thing for Redick, considering he already has several podcasts to his name. The most recent is The Old Man and the Three, which sees Redick and producer Tommy Alter chatting with NBA stars, celebs, and even politicians about an array of topics.

JJ Redick entered the NBA in 2006 as the Orlando Magic’s 11th overall pick in that year’s draft. Redick spent seven years with the Magic before embarking on stints with the Milwaukee Bucks, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the New Orleans Pelicans. He is considered one of the better shooters in NBA history.

Reddick decided to wrap up his career after a disappointing second part of the 2020-21 season with the Dallas Mavericks that saw him play just 13 games and average 4.4 points per game.

“After 15 years in the NBA, I am excited to take what I have learned on the court and be able to provide my insight and strong opinions about the game I love,” Redick said in a statement shared by ESPN. “I am thrilled to have found a place on the biggest platform in sports, ESPN. I look forward to starting my post-playing career with such an incredible organization.”

Veteran sharpshooter JJ Redick decided to end his NBA career. The 37-year-old sniper announced the news on his podcast The Old Man & The Three on Tuesday.

Talking about his decision, Redick said that he had offers from teams during the offseason but put them on hold in order to figure out whether he wanted to play for one more year. After weighing down both the good and the bad, he decided to step away from basketball.

“I have some clarity now, and I know it’s time,” Redick explained. “It’s time for me to be a dad. It’s time for me to reflect, pause, and it’s time for me to get ready for the next phase of my life.”

Redick also confirmed the news via his social media.

JJ Redick entered the 2020-21 NBA season as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans but ended up on the trade block midway through the season as the organization opted to give more playing time to their younger players. Redick didn’t object to the trade but believed the team would do him a solid one and trade him to the Brooklyn Nets so he could be closer to his family.

Instead, the Pelicans shipped Redick to the Dallas Mavericks, where the veteran played only 13 games due to a combination of injuries and struggles on the floor. He finished the 2020-21 campaign, averaging just 7.4 points per game while shooting 37.1 percent from the three-point line.

Redick previously also played with the Orlando Magic, the Milwaukee Bucks, the LA Clippers, and the Philadelphia 76ers. He retires with 1,950 made three-pointers, which ranks him 15th overall on the NBA’s all-time list.
