JJ Redick Comments on Coverage of Duke Players After Grayson Allen's Trip vs FSU

Los Angeles Clippers guard J.J. Redick can certainly relate to the scrutiny besieging Duke Blue Devils star Grayson Allen, who's been criticized as a dirty player of late after tripping Florida State's Xavier Rathan-Mayes this past Thursday.

Redick was in the national spotlight during his Duke heyday and spoke on his podcast Monday about how certain Blue Devils have been media-manufactured targets to condemn, per USA Today's Nina Mandell and Lila Bromberg:

I think it's fine for an opposing fan base to choose a player to root against or maybe you dislike certain guys, my issue though is I think the media has perpetuated this white Duke villain myth as much as anyone.
