Off the Court: J.J. Redick

One question we all ask ourselves daily is, "What does J.J. Redick do when he's not playing basketball?" Well, I finally have an answer - he is a watch aficionado.

The watch blog Hodinkee recently started a video series called "Talking Watches" and decided to have J.J. Redick as the subject of their second episode. Random? Yes. But actually really interesting to hear the famously introverted Dukie share his watch stories and describe his dream watch. While it's depressing to hear the host describe a $20K watch as a "value" timepiece, I actually enjoyed hearing J.J. describe his watches as "super cool" and "awesome," and also thought it was super cool when he talked about the watches he wore on draft day and when he signed with Lob City.

While not as entertaining as the first episode with John Mayer (where I'm sure they had to cut out his descriptions of all the actresses/models he bedded while wearing his various Rolexes), this is definitely worth a look.



NOTE: Not every NBA player has good taste in watches, as evidenced by LBJ and his ridiculously stupid new watch.
