He dominated in college, which is not as 'sophisticated' as the NBA in terms of playing style.
He would clearly dominate in rec.

Yup. A couple of things that tend to be forgotten as we watch Redick in the NBA:
-He's 6'4''. At most (not all) recs throughout the country, that's good enough to be considered "a pretty good size" in comparison to rest of the competition. There's a lot of forward/center types of folks out there who are 6'4''. Redick's a guard with a burner. Speaking of which...
-Most (not all) recs still operate with a high school three-point line. That's four full feet behind the minimum range needed for Redick to hit a triple in the NBA. He's currently shooting 45.6 percent from that distance.
I've played against some small-college and D1 heroes in rec. leagues who are known as deadly from deep. Even on 19'9'', I still don't think most of them even sniff 46% shooting from the arc. Redick does it against NBA defenses, from four feet behind the typical amateur line and beyond.
Considering some amateur gyms can be as short at 88 feet, Redick would be comfortably in "two steps inside half court" range just about each time down.
-Most (not all) recreational players won't be anywhere near the type of shape Redick's in. Fellow has been on the NBA diet, training, and lifting regimen for almost a decade. His motor would go faster and last longer than anyone else on the court.
-Many more reasons and things.

Re: If J.J. Reddick showed up at the local rec...
The NBA had 446 players to start this season. He would dominate.
His current basketball skills are high enough to play in the NBA...you think the local rec would challenge him?

Look, heres a 39 year old MJ who can barely dunk, you think he'd stand a chance 13 years later?
He's currently fat, overweight, smokes cigars.
So yup, I'd take him, the supposed 'GOAT", I'd beat him 11-7 in a 1 on 1
Please, I barely scored 6 on him at his camp and even though he said I played him better than OJ Mayo did, he still was only going 50% effort.

Re: If J.J. Reddick showed up at the local rec...
He dominates an NBA game at times with just his shooting. A rec game?

Re: If J.J. Reddick showed up at the local rec...
Well I mean from the physical standpoint he'd be way stronger/quicker/taller/much more skilled than your average local rec players. It's like if Lebron plays in college basketball. So yeah he can dominate.
I don't think he would dominate though. Seems like a nice guy. Prob goof around, make a couple threes and facilitate teammates with behind the back passes in a local rec game.

You are right. But he wouldn't have to shoot jump shots. He could me lay ups the whole day

Re: If J.J. Reddick showed up at the local rec...
Rec = awesome
NBA = waste of time because time has proven over and over that in order to win a championship you need a 2 guard with the length and athleticism to defend
