In just a few years after ending his professional basketball career, JJ Redick skyrocketed to the screens of NBA fans. He is now set to be heard at the grandest stage of them all.

According to Andrew Marchand from The Athletic, Redick has become a leading candidate to join Mike Breen and Doris Burke as commentators on ESPN during the NBA Finals.

Redick would replace Doc Rivers, who had previously signed with ESPN following his departure from the Philadelphia 76ers. After getting hired by the Milwaukee Bucks this season, Rivers could no longer work in broadcasting.

Redick is a host of his 'The Old Man and The Three' podcast, where notable players and basketball operatives come to talk about the sport they love. The former sharpshooter also works as an analyst on ESPN's First Take.
