"I saw JJ Reddick at the cinema watching Venom": Gilbert Arenas Trolls Baron Davis ‘Car Wash’ Tweet – The Sportsrush

The JJ Redick era with the Los Angeles Lakers began with a two-game winning streak. Redick’s energetic and competitive coaching style has earned him much praise. However, he has also been the target of trolls, especially after Baron Davis tweeted that he spotted Reddick at a car wash.

Davis posted on X, “I just came across [Redick] in the car wash. he had a laptop movie!!!! Coach of the players!!! Lakers in great hands!!“

The tweet soon began to take the form of an internet meme. A few hours later, Gilbert Arenas added his own spin to the story.

The former NBA star posted that he spotted Reddick in the theater watching Venom, but even there he was on his laptop watching a movie. he wrote “Just saw JJ Redick on film watching Venom BUT he was actually on his laptop watching Suns film #2025lakerchip.”

It was clearly a taunt by Arenas using the Davis template.

Redick is well known as a basketball geek and has one of the sharpest brains in the business. So he won’t take offense to someone who says he’s on his laptop all the time watching a movie.

But the Lakers HC may face similar shenanigans during the season, even when he’s winning. Because many called Redick’s hiring simply a result of his closeness with LeBron James.

The Lakers HC was asked about Davis’ post before the game against the Kings. Reddick confirmed that he was indeed on his laptop at a car wash.

he said “I started working on Sacramento’s defensive line and our cars haven’t been washed since we moved to L.A. in August and my kids had two basketball games. The car wash is next door to the gym, so between games I was going back and forth, the three cars. Very efficient use of time.”

Redick uses the time spent at the car wash to watch film that will help him be better prepared for the upcoming games. He revealed that he watches a lot of movies on his laptop and thanked Davis for letting him in on the secret.
