In April, JJ Redick played down the competition that NBA Hall-of-Famer Bob Cousy played against in an effort to try and prove this era’s players are better.
“He was being guarded by plumbers and firemen,” Redick said on First Take.
Well, Jerry West didn’t take kindly to Redick’s comments. The NBA Hall-of-Famer criticized Redick, asking what he had done to give this opinion.
“Tell me what his career looked like,” West said. “What did he do that determined games? He averaged 12 points a game in the league.”
While the criticism is clear, West still made sure to praise Redick for the career he had.
