Redick: Except for All-Stars and Superstars, I ve played every role in this league

Today, Lakers coach Redick accepted an interview with the media after the team's training.

Reporter: "Have you been a player, how much have you utilized those experiences in coaching?"

Redick: "I would say, it's generally helpful in understanding what every player is going through, because other than being an All-Star and a superstar, I've played every role in this league, and I've experienced everything from sitting on the bench. To being a backup, to not being able to play, to being a full-time starter, all of that. "

"And it's usually more of an individual conversation, and you know, the guys don't want to hear about my career in front of the team, and I've done that maybe three times."
