On the 7,509th shot of his 13-year career, JJ Redick hit 10,000 points on the nose.
Not normally one to expound on personal achievements, the sharpshooter did seem to take at least a modest sense of pride in his latest achievement, which came in Wednesday's 131-109 victory over the New York Knicks.
Following a timeout break shortly after Redick reached the five-figure plateau, public address man Matt Cord announced Redick’s accomplishment over the PA system at The Center. Redick’s teammates, along with the sellout crowd of 20,424, gave him a nice salute.
Brett Brown applauded from the Sixers’ sideline.
“It’s a cool thing for me,” Redick admitted. “I’m a little self-deprecating, but it’s a cool thing for me. I didn’t realize that I was that close, so it’s cool.”
