Jonathan Clay "J. J." Redick (born June 24, 1984 in Cookeville, Tennessee) is an American professional basketball player at the shooting guard position. He was selected 11th overall by the Orlando Magic in the 2006 NBA Draft. During his collegiate years, Redick played for Duke University. Duke retired his jersey on February 4, 2007.

Redick is known for his free throw and three-point shooting. He set ACC records for most consecutive free throws made, and most career ACC tournament points; and set several Duke records, including most points in a single season. Redick is currently the all-time leading scorer for Duke.  He formerly held the record for the most ACC career points, but was surpassed by Tyler Hansbrough of UNC on March 19, 2009.

Redick is the son of Jeanie and Ken Redick. His father played basketball for two seasons at Ohio Wesleyan University, and his older twin sisters, Catie and Alyssa, both played for Campbell University.[4] His younger brother, David, was a tight end for the Marshall University football team until he decided not to play due to injury and now lives with JJ in Orlando. His younger sister, Abby, plays basketball at Virginia Tech.

Redick was nicknamed "J. J." as a toddler because his twin sisters repeated his original nickname of "J." His father's background as a stoneware potter led to his middle name, "Clay."

Redick graduated from Duke with a major in history and a minor in cultural anthropology.

In October 2009, Redick said that he hoped to release a debut rap album by the end of the 2010.
