I like JJ Redick. This is true for two somewhat counter-intuitive reasons.
The first: He's a smart, thoughtful guy who busted his ass to carve out a borderline-great NBA career. Right now, his True Shooting Percentage (.634) is third among players with 500 minutes. The guys in front of him are Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.

The second: I was at the University of Maryland from 2004-08. Then, I hated JJ Redick. Hoo boy, did I hate JJ Redick — but I loved to hate JJ Redick.
