Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick has dealt with things so much bigger than basketball this week. The Palisades fire and Eaton fire have ravaged parts of Los Angeles, leaving the Pacific Palisades and Altadena communities completely destroyed.
Redick, who moved his family to the Pacific Palisades when he accepted the job as Lakers head coach, had his house burn down in the fire, losing what he described as 20 years worth of family memories. These fires have been heartbreaking and devastating for the people of L.A., as this could wind up as the costliest fire in the history of the United States.
