Michael Redd on Bucks Brotherhood, Kobe’s Edge, the 2000 NBA Draft & Giannis (Hear District Ep. 91)

Former Milwaukee Bucks All-Star & Olympic gold medalist @Michael-Redd sits down with Marques & Kris Johnson for an unforgettable conversation about his journey from Columbus to becoming one of the most beloved players in Bucks history. Redd opens up about growing up as a Columbus HS hoops legend, being a preacher's son, leading Ohio State to a Final Four, and proving the league wrong after falling to pick No. 43. He shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories about battling Kobe Bryant on the Redeem Team, learning from Ray Allen, Glenn 'Big Dog' Robinson, Sam Cassell & others. Plus, how those experiences shaped his rise into an elite NBA scorer. Redd also offers his firsthand perspective on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s evolution, the Bucks culture that helped define his career, and how that same relentless work ethic now drives his life as an investor, mentor, and business leader. 0:00 — Intro 2:41 — Backstory & Ohio Roots 9:49 — Lefty Jumper 11:28 — Ohio State & Final Four 20:32 — 2000 NBA Draft 24:00 — Bucks & Brotherhood 28:25 — Kobe & The Redeem Team 33:30 — Giannis & Rollins 35:49 — Reflections & Closing Thoughts Subscribe to the Hear District podcast to enjoy the biggest names in basketball sounding off on your favorite team.
