Long Shot: JJ Redick and ThreeFourTwo Productions

(04/14/21 6:03am)

JJ Redick is a legendary NBA journeyman who’s played for six NBA teams so far in his career. Originally from Roanoke, Va., Redick was a high school player renowned for his fundamentals and ability to shoot the ball. Long before the days of viral Instagram and YouTube videos, Redick gained national attention in high school for playing an Amateur Athletic Union game against one of the other top recruits, Dwyane Wade. Redick left high school a McDonald’s All American and took his talents to Duke University, where he played for four years and was a captain for two. Redick entered the NBA draft in 2006 and was viewed as one of the most polished and well-rounded guards available. That reputation made him a lottery pick, as the Orlando Magic selected him with the 11th overall pick.

Long Shot: Yael Averbuch and Techne Futbol

(03/03/21 6:31am)

Since Yael Averbuch was young, all she’s wanted to do was be a professional soccer player. It never mattered to her that at the time of her birth, or even when she started college, there wasn’t a professional league for women in the United States. She eventually accomplished her goals and more: she won national player of the year at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and went on to have a wildly successful 16-year career both in the National Women's Soccer League and with the U.S. Women's National Team. She also helped form the National Women's Soccer League Players Association in 2017 and served as its director until 2020.
