WOW I am a Magic fan and made a comment that the people really only want to see JJ do good because he was a great college player, doesn't play any, and is white. Lets be real. But LMAO your an idiot, I mean seriously how did you make this political. Seriously you really are an idiot, you have no idea what America stands for at all. I know you served but I wish you wouldn't have because you give Americans bad names with all this crap. Your are going to be one sad old school minded thinker when Obama gets elected and then you will have a choice. Either to change your veiws or continue to hate. I think I know what you will do, although I hope that you decide to jump in front of a car.

I'm writing from my hospital bed as I jumped in front of my own car and was rundown by the black fellow that hijacked it.

As for Hussein being elected, I dont give a crap. It will be fun to watch how the US falls even further in the world. There has never been a black politician that has ever succeeded at his job.
Bad Mayor's Bad Governors, Bad Rep's and Bad Senators. Too many examples to even start to list.

I find it to be exciting now to see the people of this country being duped by a socialist in too believing that he has a Plan for us all. Thats so laughable I think it should be on SNL.

It doesnt matter... whatever happens wont change my lifestyle one Iota.
I wanna see what happens ,lol. Our country being run by this bunch of fools should be hilarious and in the end depressing for even the poorest of people that are looking for their New Messiah.

Go JJ... hang in there and take the Money. Then get the pension and get away from this NBA!

Hallelujah!

Oh yeah and JJ's story is boring too...Dude from Virginia, never seen any hardship really, highly touted high school recruit, celebrated Duke player, and extremely arrogant.

I have heard from on of the Magic's team doctor that JJ is down to earth and not arrogant.

J.J. has never got a shot for the Magic. It's one thing if he goes in and stinks it up, but he really has never gotten the chance to prove himself. Until then we should cheer for him to play more or trade him.

Your right i'll believe what Van Gundy says when i see it happen in the regular season. I just cant believe that its taken him this long to be thought of to get in the rotation. I mean he was a great college player probably one of the greatest of all time. So you would think because of that he would get a chance to play regularly in the pros. Hopefully i will see him play more this year.

Okay, were you in a coma during the 05-06 college basketball season?? JJ Redick did more than just shoot open 3's as he averaged over 28 points per game and won national baskeball player of the year that season! Other teams guarded him so tightly, he had to create his own shots! He developed good variety in his game, and I distinctly remember Dickie V saying "this guy WILL be a star at the next level" in almost every Duke game. Not saying that Vitale is always right; he only said the same thing about Kevin Durant and Andrew Bogut, among others. And look what busts those guys turned out to be...(yeah right).

JJ needs to pick up a clipboard and start learning how to be an assistant coach, since that is where he will wind up in the league, or in college.
Slow white guys who spent their college careers hitting open 3's don't make it in the NBA if they can't rebound, defend or create their own shots.
They can stick around if they are good practice players, good for morale, and draw a fan base.

Why doesn't JJ play more often?

Yeah, why? You just wrote so much about nothing. This article is like a blog. Mike stick with the subject. Congratulations on your Gators performance against the Tigers.

Sounds to me like someone has a case of J.J. envy.

[JJ FAN]

All you are doing is being envious. J.J. is good.

[Magic Fan 77]

Totally agree with you... I used to be a season ticket holder (until I was relocated to NC) and I remember telling my fellow ticket holder on my area: "I know we (Magic) are going to take JJ, I don't understang it, the guy was something in the college arena but he won't be great at the NBA level... if they take JJ is just for PR sell more tickets... the guy sucks! and we will waste, once again, our pick on the draft" Everyone on my zone boo me but oh I was soooo right...

[kk another jj redick fan]

wow that was a real jerk comment! Maybe you don't get enough attention in your own life, but taking it out on jj redick (the BEST shooter in the HISTORY of basketball) is a very classless way to go about it.If you don't like him or if you have a problem with him being in the media than why did you write about him... you just devoted time out of your day to do exactly what you don't want to see be done!

[JJ fan]

The only reason I ever tune in to watch a magic game is to see if maybe redick has cracked the rotation and is playing....I always turn the channel 10 minutes later, disapointed.

So yeah, if he actually started playing I would watch. Maybe he's the wrong fit for this team, idk, but I wish he'd get traded somewhere he can play, because I know he would get SOME minutes somewhere in the league.
