洛杉矶——诺克斯和凯·雷迪克是两个痴迷篮球的孩子,由于他们的父亲曾是得分后卫、播客主持人以及洛杉矶湖人队的教练,他们积攒了大量的 NBA 球衣、交易卡和签名收藏。

上周,在毁灭性的野火烧毁了雷迪克一家在太平洋帕利塞兹的住所以及大部分街区后,JJ·雷迪克的儿子们失去了他们所有的纪念品收藏。

周一晚上,马刺队击败了雷迪克执教的湖人队后,圣安东尼奥球星克里斯·保罗和维克托·文班亚马找到了雷迪克家的男孩们,并将他们的比赛球衣送给了他们。

雷迪克和保罗在洛杉矶快船队时期曾是队友,两人关系密切。雷迪克表示,这位12次入选全明星的球员知道他的儿子们在大火中失去了他们的篮球纪念品收藏。

“当你在这个联盟待了足够长的时间,你就会有一个很大的圈子,其中有你喜欢的人,有你爱的人,还有你的兄弟——而克里斯就在我最核心的兄弟圈子里,”在湖人队以102-126输掉比赛后,雷迪克说道。“他今天下午打电话给我说,‘无论你赢还是我们赢,文班和我都会过去把我们的球衣送给孩子们。’……我很感激所有的爱,我并不惊讶克里斯会做这样的事。”

这一举动让两个男孩脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。

“我不知道他们是这么忠实的球迷,但我喜欢JJ这个人,而且他直接受到了火灾的影响,”文班亚马说。“所以如果我能让这些孩子们开心,我会去做。”

保罗曾与雷迪克在快船队做过四年队友,在谈到他与雷迪克及其家人的关系时,他激动不已。

“你在这联盟里打了很多年,有些人只是队友,但JJ是我的家人,”保罗说。“所以,他和他的妻子,那些孩子们——诺克斯和凯……我知道很多人失去了家人、房屋等等。当这些人与你亲近时,感觉就不一样了。所以我和JJ是终极竞争对手。尽管我们关系密切,但我们都讨厌输球,无论输赢如何。但我今天确实告诉他,我想为他的孩子们做这件事。我知道他们是多么铁杆的篮球迷。这是一个艰难的处境。”

雷迪克说,他的几名球员最近几天都收到了疏散警告,其中一人因为家附近的火灾活动而无法按时上班。雷迪克和他的家人在他们租住的房子里几乎失去了一切。

“人们向我和我的家人,以及所有受此影响的家庭表达了如此多的支持、爱和慷慨,我感到不知所措,”他说。

LOS ANGELES – Knox and Kai Redick are two basketball-obsessed kids who had amassed a big collection of NBA jerseys, trading cards and autographs thanks to their dad’s careers as a shooting guard, a podcaster and the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

JJ Redick’s sons then lost their entire memorabilia collection in the catastrophic wildfires that burned down their family home and much of their neighborhood in Pacific Palisades last week.

After the Spurs beat Redick’s Lakers on Monday night, San Antonio stars Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama sought out the Redick boys and presented them with their game jerseys.

Redick, who is close friends with Paul from their seasons as teammates on the LA Clippers, said the 12-time All-Star was aware that his sons lost their basketball memorabilia collection in the fire.

“When you’ve been in the league long enough, you have this big circle, and it’s people you like, people you love and then it’s your brothers – and Chris is in that inner-inner circle of brothers,” Redick said after the Lakers’ 126-102 loss.

“He called me this afternoon and said, ‘Whether you win or we win, Vic and I are going to go over and give the boys our jerseys.’ … I appreciate all the love, and I’m not surprised Chris did something like that.”

The gesture put big grins on the faces of the two boys.

“I didn’t know they were huge fans like this, but JJ is a person that I like and who was directly impacted by this,” Wembanyama said. “So if I can make those kids’ day, I’ll do it.”

Paul, who was Redick’s teammate for four seasons with the Clippers, swelled with emotion when discussing his relationship with Redick and his family.

“You play a lot of years in this league and some guys are just teammates, but JJ is part of my family,” Paul said. "So, him and his wife, those kids – Knox and Kai … I know a lot of people lost family members, homes, stuff like that. It hits different when the people are close to you.

“So me and JJ are ultimate competitors. As close as we are, we hate to lose, win, or whatnot. But I actually told him today that I wanted to do that for his boys. I know how big of basketball fans they are. It’s a tough situation.”

Redick said a few of his players had been under evacuation warnings in recent days, and one couldn’t make it to work on time because of activity around his home. Redick and his family lost almost everything they owned in their rented home.

“I’ve been overwhelmed with the amount of support and love and generosity that people have shown to me and my family, and really all families that have been affected by this,” he said.
