JJ Redick admits he does not want anyone to minimize the Lakers' regular season success

The Los Angeles Lakers are back in the NBA Playoffs as the fourth seed. It has been a superb campaign for the Lakers, as they have a 52-29 record heading into the season finale against the Utah Jazz on Sunday.

This has been yet another superb regular season for the Lakers, as this is the second 50-win season for head coach JJ Redick. He has a good system going with the Lakers, and it seems that he wants more people to recognize that regular season success.

JJ Redick wants the Lakers to get more recognition for the regular season

As a former player and now a coach, Redick knows that every team has one goal. That objective is to win a championship, but to get there, teams must have a good regular season. 

The Lakers have done well over the past two years because of Redick's leadership. Of course, he has had some fantastic players like LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves.

Despite all those talented players, the Lakers do not have the perfect roster. As the head coach, Redick has done well with what he has, optimizing almost every player in the perfect roles.

Moving forward, he has a bright future as a coach, even if LeBron leaves or retires from the NBA. With Doncic and Reaves to lead his vision, Redick is in a good spot. That starts with their success in the regular season being appreciated more ahead of some good postseason runs.

"Every year I've ever been in the NBA, your goal is to win a championship. That's your goal. When you represent the Lakers, and you play for the Lakers, and you coach the Lakers, that's their goal every year," Redick said after his team's win on Friday.

"That's our fans' goal every year. Let's not discredit what this group did for the regular season, regardless of what happens in the Playoffs."

As he campaigns for more people to recognize his success with the Lakers, the team could become more confident. They are ready for the Playoffs, and this could be a time when they surprise people due to everyone's eyes being on the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs.
