Veteran shooting guard J.J. Redick has announced his retirement from the NBA.
Redick hangs up his Nikes after 15 productive seasons in the league. He finishes with career averages of 12.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.1 made 3-pointers per game, while shooting 41.5% from downtown and 89.2% from the charity stripe. One of the game’s all-time elite marksmen, he is one of only three players in NBA history to make more than 2,000 career treys and 2,000 free throws while shooting above 40% from downtown and above 89% from the charity stripe. The only other two players in this club are Steph Curry and Ray Allen. “After years of youth leagues, AAU, high school basketball, four years at Duke, and 15 years in the NBA, I’m retiring from the game that I love so much,” Redick said on his podcast.
