Before Sunday's game against Toronto, if you would have told me that Orlando Magic shooting guard J.J. Redick was working on a rap album, I probably would have said something like "Well, that's fine; he's got plenty of spare time" or "Will it be 50 minutes of him rapping 'I could be gangsta if someone would just give me a chance'?" But then J.J. pulled up his babypants and put in a ferocious game on Sunday that was the very definition of a "pleasant surprise."
The opposite of a "pleasant surprise?" News from allhiphop.com that Redick is, indeed, working on a rap album ... well, technically, he's just working on a song. He hasn't gotten very far, though: "The chorus has been written and the first verse and the direction we're heading on the song has to deal with waste management."
Waste management, huh? Sounds like a winner. All we have to wait for now is for Vince Carter to get better so J.J. can finish up those lyrics during his 47 minutes of per-game bench-time.

First Shot: Lost, found and BUSTED!
