Sideshow: Redick Raps

Cancel your Florida vacation plans and get in the basement immediately. There’s a disaster forming in sunny Orlando, where Magic guard and one-time Duke villain J.J. Redick is planning to release a rap album, along with center Marcin Gortat.

Yes, you read that correctly. The supergroup is as of now unnamed.

“We’re throwing around some ideas,” Redick told NBA.com. “ ‘Sub-Par’ is one, ‘After-Thought’ is another, ‘No Profits’ … but not like ‘prophets’ like ‘prophecies,’ ‘profits’ like money.”

Thanks for the clarification. That’s very hip-hop of you.

It’s safe to say that this has to be one of the worst ideas in the history of music. What is he going to rap about anyway? Waiting in line at Disney World? How tough his homework was at Duke? Missing open threes in the NBA Finals? Okay, that last one was a little below the belt.

Here’s a short list of people that I’d rather have release a rap album than J.J. Redick. Mind you, this could be way longer. Enjoy:

Wolf Blitzer, Drew Carey, Daffy Duck, Wanda Sykes, Steve from “Blue’s Clues,” “Balloon Boy,” Peyton Manning, Jon and Kate (of Plus 8 fame), Rahm Emanuel, Dick Cheney, anyone from “The Hills” and of course, Tom Crean.
