Questions of the week

Q & A with JJ is Back! Here are this weeks questions from fans and Answers from JJ.

Q: If you had to ban any musical artist from ever putying out another record who would it be and why?

A: This is probably my favorite question I’ve ever gotten on this site. There is one band out there, and if you know me well you know my distaste for this band, that should not put out any more music. Whenever I hear one of their songs I cringe. That band is Nickelback. I would rather shoot myself in the foot with a nail gun then have to listen to a Nickelback record.

Q: Who on the Magic do you hang out with the most when your on a road trip or in the off season?

A: The guys on the team that I hang out with the most on the road are James Augustine and Pat Garrity. When I’m in Orlando I hang out with Hedo a lot as well as Keith Bogans and Marcin Gortat. Carlos and I also play golf sometimes.

Q: Did you ever get to go to a NASCAR race like you mentioned in one of your blogs after meeting Jeff Burton?

A: I still have not been to a NASCAR race but it is on my to-do list for the summer. Hopefully I’ll get out to a race this summer.


Yes, I’m interested in updates!

since we all know how much you hate nickleback, what band do you like?

Dan | on 30/3/08

I live in New Jersey however I have been a huge fan of yours ever since watching you in the NCAA Tournament. You were the classiest college player that I have ever seen. Never change, we need role models like you.

BKelly | on 7/3/08

I hope one day you get a chance to really prove yourself in the NBA. I’ll be looking forward to it.

Megan | on 6/3/08

I know you always have like brett favre.. he retired this week and just wondering your feelings on that.. and besides a jj redick fan, im a sidney crosby fan wondering if you watch any hockey?

Brett in KC | on 5/3/08

Hey, just wanted to say my prayers are with your brother and your entire family. I hope all goes well with his surgery.

Bless you all.

Dalton | on 5/3/08

Hey JJ…. I just want to say good luck to you and thank you for all you’ve done for average looking white boys. I watch YouTube videos of you all the time just as a reminder that we can do some great things on the court. I’m trying to perfect my jumper the best I can and watching you shoot helps more than anything.

Keep the faith, brother and great things will come your way soon enough. Some NBA team will realize what you have to offer and when they do, you’ll shine like you did in college.

Peace.

Rebecca | on 5/3/08

Nickelback really doesn’t bother me..except the fact that they only really needed to be a one hit wonder as all of their song sound exactly the same!!

Thanks for sharing!

Calvin {duke#1fan} | on 5/3/08

When it was your senior season at DUKE I would go in my living room and try to change my b-ball shot just like yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was watching some of your videos on youtube your stroke is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well my question is do talk to Greg Paulus?YOUR THE BEST 3 POINT SHOOTER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

duke#1fan | on 5/3/08

Do u like college or NBA better?

Enter your name...Jeff | on 5/3/08

Enter your comment…Good luck with the Wizards’ game tonight. With all the injuries, I hope this is your big chance to get some major PT. Keep the faith, outrun and outwit them on the court, and just blaze around the opponents like they’re standing still like dead bodies!! cue the Korn music “dead bodies everywhere…”

Christina R | on 5/3/08

Hey JJ I really think you deserve a whole lot more playing time!! Your awesome they just need to let you prove yourself : ) Maybe you should move down to San Antonio and win yourself a championship!!! Either way I still think your one of the best in the NBA...Keep your head up : D

XOXO, Christina R

Samuel Waitt | on 3/3/08

Oh and P.S Nickelback does suck…........A lot

Samuel Waitt | on 3/3/08

JJ You are the man. I hope that you would come to Indiana and lead the Pacers to victory. Big Fan since Duke!!!!!

Alan Lopez | on 2/3/08

whats up man,
This is alan lopez i grew up with your lil bro David playing ball at cave spring and you were good friends with my brother andrew lopez but i was just gonna say stay positive with this situation we all know your talents and you porvide instant offense when you step on the court. Well anyways i was just seein how yall are doing and let david know i said whats up.

Elliott | on 1/3/08

Hey JJ :
Dont worry, you’ll eventually get your chance in the NBA. There will always be a necessity for a “sharpshooter” in the NBA, plain and simple. Dont try to do too much when your opportunity comes, and to remember to prove you capabilities from the 3-point line like a Brent Barry or a Jason Kapono for example, it might be your only chance to have any type of longveity in the NBA.
Good luck
-Elliott from Canada

Maggie | on 1/3/08

Oh, JJ, thank you for saying a band that I don’t like either! I can’t stand Nickelback! All of their songs sound exactly the same. I also don’t really like their kind of music style, despite the fact that I love rock. They’re just sort of boring plain rock and I like hard rock, punk rock, alternative, and music like that. My favorite bands are My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, the Killers, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Yellowcard. I have so many more bands that I love that I couldn’t even name them all. You have know idea how glad I was that you didn’t say My Chemical Romance.

I hope you’re doing good and hope to hear from you soon!

lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of LOVE,
Maggie

joseph matherly | on 1/3/08

Erica | on 29/2/08

I love Nickelback but Good luck anyway Rockstar!!

erik | on 29/2/08

Austin | on 29/2/08

Do you play any games on your free time? and if so what is your favorit?

Ryan | on 29/2/08

JJ is the best player in NCAA history my favorite player to watch shoot and i model myself after him.

Amy | on 28/2/08

Personally, I don’t mind Nickleback…but that one song that kept getting played over and over in the radio station I usually listen to was really, really annoying for me. But, I wouldn’t wanna shoot myself in the foot with a nail gun though. Lol.

Enjoy the weekend!

Ryan Acuff | on 28/2/08

i hope you get on ESPN’s top 25 greatest players list, i think you deserve it! NCAA 16th in scoring, #1 in Duke history scoring, #1 in ACC scoring, and #1 in career 3 pointers baby!!!!!!!

laura | on 28/2/08

peace and luv
l.k.r.d.

Lauren | on 28/2/08

this has nothing to do with your Q&A but …

GREAT GAME LAST NIGHT:) It was awesome to see you play for a while … Keep it up!!

oh & yeah nickleback is the most annoying band of all time

D_Rob | on 27/2/08

I agree with you completely about Nickelback. They’re awful! One of the worst bands ever….........

Luke Gehring | on 27/2/08

JJ , who are you mostly impressed with at Duke so far.

diana | on 27/2/08

Do you plan on voting in this election? and if you do who are you voting for?

Chris | on 27/2/08

JJ Keep your head up, we all know what your capable of. We all have watched you from day one at duke till today where all we watch for, is you to play 2:00 minutes a game. Just keep on doing what you’re doing all of your fans are behind you.

P.S. Please upload some of ur pregame dance moves for us. lol

CarolAnn | on 27/2/08

Tell the truth! You are dying to get Steve Kerr to ask for you in a trade!
I do hope you can get out of Orlando this summer. They are going to resign all those journeyman guards and we all know it.
When you got picked 11th. it was a perfect fit. Since then they have no idea how to use you for the teams benefit. Pretty gruesome.
Stay and live in Orlando and play wherever you can actually get P.T.
Good Luck!

Enter your name... | on 27/2/08

i hope duke wins out and beats unc again!

diana | on 27/2/08

When growing up what did you want to be besides a basketball player?

Sara | on 26/2/08

So agree with you on the Nickleback comment!!

Stephanie | on 26/2/08

Okay .. very dumb question… If you were stranded on an Island.. what 5 things would you bring with you and why?

Thanks so much for keeping us updated.

-Stephanie

diana | on 26/2/08

well i kinda agree with you on nickeback there songs are overplayed. And get annoying so i see where your coming from, but i never really found nascar interesting its kind of boring because they just drive around in circles but thats just my opinion. as my friend and I always say PEACE IT EASY!!!<<<3333

Chuck Bailey | on 26/2/08

Who is your favorite historical hero and why?

Andrew | on 26/2/08

I hate nickelback too,corny rock music sucks. Im guessing most of JJ’s fans are pre teen girls so thay are into that corny stuff (no offence).Anyways im a big duke fan and JJ is my favorite basketball player so i figured i would check this site out.And im a native Virginian so i feel extra close haha.Anyways,if by some chance you read this JJ. Your awesome and all the slam dunk crap sucks you play the game the way it should be played. I hope i see you play more in the future,

Kestrel | on 26/2/08

Wow so no Nickleback stuff on your wall then huh? why don’t you like them?
I can’t totally disagree with you though they seem a little fake but what are you ganna do about right? Peace and Love ALWAYS Kestrel

Olivia | on 26/2/08

wow why the hate for Nickelback?

Beka | on 26/2/08

Haha! I like Nickelback personally, but the description is pretty funny. :-) I can’t narrow the list down to just one. There are so many that don’t deserve to sing even in the shower, but that’s just my opinion (not that anyone asked me).

shell | on 26/2/08

You haven’t lived until you’ve been to a Nascar race. Make sure you wear a hat though. If Jeff Gordon wins the race, the beer goes flying.

MSJ | on 26/2/08

Any chance Orlando will acquire a PG that actually can defend, distribute, and run an offense in the near future? It’s my opinion that Jameer is the main reason for the lack of PT. A guy like Duhon would have been perfect to pick-up before the deadline, but the Bulls probably couldn’t let one of their 200 guards go??? I got alot of questions for Otis.

MSJ | on 26/2/08

Here is a recent poll question on Duke Basketball Report forums. Would you rather UNC win the NCAA’s this year and “Hansblow” leave early, leaving your scoring record intact . Or UNC lose and “Hastravel” return and break the record (needs to average 20ppg next season)? Right now it’s 90% for UNC to lose, we do really hate those “tarholes”. How would you vote?

Marley | on 26/2/08

Finally! Someone tells the truth about Nickelback and their amazing abilities at sucking!

Jordan | on 26/2/08

If you were to be traded to any team you wanted what team would that be and why?

Jim | on 25/2/08

cant blame you with your disrespect of nickelback, i dont like there music that much either, but its not bad enough to shoot yourself in the foot with a nailgun with… you definetly need to get out to a nascar race too, one of the greatest experiences ive ever had

Melody | on 25/2/08

What is your favorite kind of cookie? I saw you coming out to warm up a couple weeks ago eating a cookie…I have wondered ever since.

Lauren | on 25/2/08

Yeah, i would have to agree with you on Nickelback, maybe its because their songs are overplayed, but i dont know.
I think it would be a lot of fun to go to a NASCAR race also, although I have never been to one myself, but i think its one of those sports that are much more interesting when you are actually near the action, not just watching it on tv.

Keep the Q’s & A’s coming JJ, they are so much fun to read!

-your biggest fan

ASHLEY | on 25/2/08

DO YOU HAVE ANY TATTOOS??

T-Bone Mellomuchiani | on 25/2/08

JJ,

thanks for the site updating. it keeps the fans interested in your life. by the way, do you want to stay with orlando or move away?

Jenna | on 25/2/08

I concur with your hatred of Nickelback.
Friends don’t let friends listen to Nickelback.

Lyndi | on 25/2/08

J.J. cmon man, that much hatred for Nickelback??? there has to be worse you can think of. im devastated by that response

Enter your name... | on 25/2/08

Is it because Nickleback is a rock band? i think their pretty good. You would prolly like to go to a NASCAR race, there’s lots of excitement there.

Haider Nazeer | on 25/2/08

Yo JJ, just wanna let you know how much your fans appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to write on this blog. Its extremely interesting for a fan to get a taste of an athletes life that you provide us. Keep up the good work.

michael | on 25/2/08

As a true Dukie i know you stay in touch with the team. Have you been impressed with what Nolan Smith has done with the limited playing time he’s had? I think he’s about to explode on the scene in the ACC.

LML | on 25/2/08

Dude, how can you not like Nickelback! They’re awesome and “Savin’ Me” & “Far Away” are great songs. But then again, to each their own! LOL!!! By the way, how’s your golf coming along lately?
