September 22, 2021

According to Jason Duaine Hahn of People Magazine on Tuesday, Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Redick retired from the National Basketball Association at the age of 37. The native of Cookeville, Tennessee played 15 seasons in the NBA from 2006 to 2021 with the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, New Orleans Pelicans, and Dallas Mavericks.
Redick was best known throughout his NBA career as being an excellent three-point shooter. In fact, he is 15th all-time in the number of three-points made with 1950. The NBA leader in three-point shooting is Ray Allen, who made 2973 three-pointers with the Bucks, Seattle SuperSonics, Boston Celtics, and Miami Heat from 1997 to 2014.
Four times in his career, Redick made a minimum of 200 three-pointers in a season. He made 200 three-pointers with the Clippers in 2014-15, and 2015-16, 201 three-pointers with the Clippers in 2016-17, and a career-high 240 three-pointers with the 76ers in 2018-19. In the 2015-16 season, Redick led the NBA with a three-point percentage of .475. He made 200 of his 421 three-point attempts.
Redick played his college basketball at the University of Duke. While with the Blue Devils, Redick became one of the best Duke basketball players of all-time. In fact, he is the Blue Devils leading scorer with 2769 points. In 2005-06, Redick also set the Duke record for most points in a season with 964. Redick’s jersey number four was retired by Duke on February 4, 2007.
Redick was also one of three players all-time to win the Adolph Rupp Trophy (presented to the top men’s college basketball player in the United States) twice, as he won in 2005 and 2006. The other two players on the list have won the award three times. Bill Walton won the award three straight years from 1972 to 1974 while with UCLA, and Ralph Sampson won the award three straight years from 1981 to 1983 while with the University of Virginia.
