Even if nothing will really replace their collection that went up in smoke, JJ Redick’s sons will little by little be able to rebuild a pretty wardrobe. Saturday evening, Knox and Kai saw their dad arrive with two autographed Stephen Curry jerseys. The leader of the Warriors had passed it on to a security agent, who acted as postman to the Lakers coach.
Two weeks ago, Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama initiated the movement during the resumption meeting between the Lakers and the Spurs, after learning that Redick’s house, located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, had been completely destroyed in fires. The flames took everything away, including his sons’ collection of sports memorabilia.
“We will soon be in a house”Redick said when a colleague asked him about his family, who stayed in a hotel after being forced to evacuate their home. “They are safe, and they are taken care of. The children returned to school. »
-Saturday evening, Redick was able to talk with Steve Kerr, also affected by this tragedy after his mother’s house also burned down. “He went through more than me because he lost his home”confided Kerr. “My mother lost hers. So it didn’t affect my life directly. It’s more of a worry for my mother. But I haven’t talked in detail with JJ about where he lives, what his kids do, where they go to school, all that. That’s a lot. So he has a lot more to deal with right now than I do. »
