Our Editor's Take
For years, JJ Redick was one of the most dominant basketball players in the world. The Old Man and the Three with JJ Redick and Tommy Alter gives Redick a different role—podcast host.
The Old Man and the Three with JJ Redick and Tommy Alter discusses various topics. It talks about politics and current events, but this is, first and foremost, a basketball podcast. As those who follow basketball know, Redick is a compelling choice to cohost an NBA podcast.
He began his basketball career in high school, where he would be an All-American player. His success at the high school level would lead him to play for Duke, one of the most elite collegiate teams in the US. During his time at Duke, Redick would become one of the most storied players in Blue Devils history. In fact, Reddick is one of only a handful of collegiate players to have their number retired. He remains one of the most decorated players in college basketball history.
Redick would then spend an impressive 15 years in the NBA. Most of that time would be with the Orlando Magic, the team that drafted him. In September of 2021, Redick announced his retirement from the league.
The Old Man and the Three with JJ Redick and Tommy Alter allows Redick to offer his unique insight. As a former player, many of his thoughts on the current state of the league are insightful. He also has good chemistry with cohost Alter. The hosts also sometimes conduct interviews. These can be with athletes, politicians, or people in the media. Past guests include Stephen Curry, Joakim Noah, and Desmond Bane.
The Old Man and the Three with JJ Redick and Tommy Alter premieres new episodes on Mondays.
