LeBron James and Redick have a close relationship
It’s clear that James and Redick have a close relationship that allows them to tease each other. James wouldn’t have started a podcast with Redick if he didn’t like and respect him.
Their rapport has even sparked speculation that Redick might become the Lakers’ next coach. This speculation arises from James‘s influence on Lakers’ decisions and reports suggesting that Redick was a candidate for another team’s coaching position, particularly the Charlotte Hornets.
Despite the Hornets hiring Celtics assistant Charles Lee, the rumors about Redick’s coaching potential continue to circulate. It’s uncertain whether Redick will pursue coaching and how it might affect his podcast with James.
