One thing that the Wikipedia page will never include is that Redick was all but officially the "most hated basketball player in the world" since his freshman year of college up through the first half of his pro career. He faced racially-charged taunts from all of Duke's bitter ACC rivals as soon as he signed as a five-star prospect out of high school. He was the longtime poster boy for irrational hatred against Duke basketball, perhaps bookended by Christian Laettner and Grayson Allen but still setting the gold standard for enthusiastic, commonplace pop culture hatred of white athletic success. Just by existing, he enraged the budding internet pundit class. Each free agent contract drew ire from a large, vocal swath of sadistic haters. It was only by playing along with the system and keeping up a flawless off-court track record that he able to skate by without being jettisoned. And all the while, he can't speak up for himself or touch any racial topic with a ten-foot pole, even though he surely understands exactly what's going on.
Redick's top two scoring averages came during his 13th and 14th pro seasons, so he certainly could have played a bigger role with any of his six franchises. There is so much lip service paid to the travails of Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron that it's impossible for the average fan to wrap their head around Redick's constant 'fish out of water' existence.
I can't imagine how incredibly boring his podcast must be.
