JJ Redick responds to Charles Barkley’s ‘dead man walking’ criticism: ‘Don’t care’

One day after a clip of Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley ripping JJ Redick went viral, the Lakers coach issued his own rebuttal — with indifference.

“I didn’t make it all the way through the clip, I gotta be honest with you,” Redick said Friday before the Lakers played the Atlanta Hawks. “My resting heart rate is probably 64. I watched the clip, it was 64. Literally don’t care. I have other thoughts, but don’t care.”

During highlights of Boston’s win against Minnesota, Barkley riffed on the Lakers’ coach after the number of three-point shots attempted (96) was mentioned.
