 A magician never shows his tricks, so I don't expect LeBron to ever confirm any of this. But what's to say LeBron didn't go to the Lakers and say, hey, guys, I got this amazing podcasting partner. You may know him. His name is J.J. Redick. He'd make a phenomenal coach. Wait till he gets to the whiteboard. He's going to wow you. Fine, LeBron, we'll take a look at Redick. And oh, by the way, guys, could you do me a solid and draft my son at 55? That would be awesome. Fine, LeBron, we'll capitulate. We'll do what you want.
