On March 28th, J.J. joined The Late Late Show with James Corden where he talks fatherhood and plays a game of “Basketball or Cake”.
Monday night, J.J. Redick was a guest on James Corden’s CBS talk show, The Late Late Show with James Corden. You may know James Corden from his viral “Carpool Karaoke” skits. (And just two weeks ago, James Corden became Blake Griffin’s new life coach.)

Dressed in a sleek, leather bomber jacket and sporting a deep part in his neat haircut, the Clippers’ sharpshooter was looking dapper as always.
J.J. started off by talking about what it’s like being a father of two boys. Raising his sons, 3 year old Knox and 7 month old Kai, may be a challenge he wasn’t expecting to be as difficult as it is.

“All he wants to do is shoot dunk shots like DeAndre Jordan. That’s his favorite player.”

J.J. also tells a couple other fun stories of him and Knox, all in the video below.
