JJ Redick says final 2 Lakers starters 'will not be white guys'
Lakers coach JJ Redick makes stirring comments about their starting five that'll feature white players Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler.
During a press conference on September 24, Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick made a bold statement when discussing the team's projected starting five. He expressed confidence in three players - Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and 7-foot Walker Kessler - who were acquired through an offseason trade. Redick went on to assert that the remaining two starting spots would not be occupied by white players.
The statement, which received significant attention, drew comments on social media regarding the team's roster composition. Former NBA player Olden Polynice, on his podcast, echoed similar concerns about the Lakers potentially reverting to their earlier all-white team dynamics, reminiscent of the Minneapolis Lakers of the late 1940s and early 1950s.
