Look, I try to not insult people too much (sorry about that Cho Chang, but snitches gotta die), but this is absolutely ridiculous. JJ Redick had so little impact during his rookie season that most Duke fans forgot who he was. He put up raucous numbers like 6.0 PPG, 1.2 APG, and .5 APG. He also shot 38.8% from 3. And he played 42 games. 42 FUCKING GAMES! How the hell do you look back fondly at a first round pick who could barely get off the bench to play in 42 games after playing 4 years ? Well, JJ did look better in the Pepsi Pro Summer League, going for 19.8 PPG and 3.8 APG (1st and 3rd in the League, respectively), but then this happens:

Yes, that's right. JJ Redick got an endorsement for having a good summer league. What the fuck is that? Yes, he was the greatest 3-point shooter in the history of college basketball, but he's done jack squat as a pro to merit this extra dough. If anyone should be in that video, it should be Reggie Miller, who is about to (maybe) come back and stand behind the 3-point line waiting for Pierce, Allen, or Garnett to dish it off from the triple team. He was the best 3-point shooter in NBA history, much more meaningful than Redick, who has given every indication that he will bust quicker than the buttons on Eric "Badlands" Bookers shirt after a matza ball eating contest.
