And, as you can imagine, the boys were absolutely ecstatic about it.
Victor Wembanyama & Chris Paul give their jerseys to JJ Redick’s kids. ❤️🙏
“Players would come through (for the podcast). They had a collection of jerseys and cards. They lost all that. I’m not surprised Chris did something like that.” https://t.co/DG9h6lYT4S pic.twitter.com/NzpkZ3sa6C

Meet Knox and Kai Redick, two kids who are obsessed with basketball and had racked up a pretty incredible memorabilia collection over the years. Courtesy of their dad JJ being a college basketball legend, a former NBA star, a basketball podcaster and the current Los Angeles Lakers head coach, the boys had loads of NBA jerseys, trading cards, autographs and other flash and dash merch.

Here’s what JJ had to say about it when speaking with the press:
A sweet moment after the Lakers-Spurs game: Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul gifted JJ Redick’s two sons their signed, game worn jerseys. Both boys love basketball and lost their collection of hoops memorabilia in the Palisades fire. pic.twitter.com/Tp2uyJHYKW
But, unfortunately, Knox and Kai lost their whole collection to the raging California fires that destroyed their home and a lot of their Pacific Palisades neighborhood. (RELATED: Lakers’ JJ Redick Sadly Loses Home In Raging California Wildfires: REPORT)
