Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick is certainly familiar with the city of L.A. and what it means to be a part of that community. He played for the L.A.

Redick has challenged the Lakers ever since he took the job as head coach. There's been a level of accountability, transparency, and consistency throughout this season. So far, that method has paid off. They sit at the No. 6 seed right now with a 21-17 record. Los Angeles has had some bumps in the road, as all teams do.
