NBA commentator Richard Jefferson talked about Lakers coach JJ Roddick on the podcast show Road Trippin '.

"Redick is sometimes too smart, which is not good, but I think he is learning the value of being 'stupid'. It's not that being stupid is better, but that he is realizing the value of being slightly 'stupid' in some cases. A person can be very smart, but if he cannot convey his point of view effectively, then this cleverness loses its meaning, and this transmission efficiency tests the coach's ability. Some of the smartest people in the world often can simplify complex problems in their minds. It's not just about how high your IQ is, but more importantly, whether you can really simplify complex things with everyone. I think JJ-Redick is constantly improving in this regard." Jefferson said.
