JJ Redick Had Blunt Response on Adam Silver's Idea to Shorten NBA Games

JJ Redick, a former NBA player and current ESPN analyst, expressed strong opposition to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's suggestion to shorten NBA games from 48 to 44 minutes.

He emphasized that shortening games would not solve the root causes of player wear and tear.
