JJ Redick is a true hero. Redick just set the ACC all time leading scorer record. JJ doesn't get into any trouble, and is a good looking kid with the NCAA 3 pointers made and career free throw shooting percentage records. Why is JJ hated? It is a little known fact that JJ had a chance to not be hated. Apparently, early in his career, Satan himself offered JJ the love and admiration of all BB fans, in exchange for JJ's soul.
JJ tells the story through his poetry, of how he resisted temptation, shocked Beelzebub, and actually defeated the Dark Lord.
"As I decide to fulfill my life's strategy
The devil insists on trying to battle me
I meet him in an empty field on the high plains
He throws temptations my way to inflict internal pain
Life and death matters, this ain't no game
It's mind over matter, the power of my brain
He thinks I'll give in if my muscles start to strain
He believes I'll submit to the evil of society's frame
And benefit from notoriety's gain
He says I don't have to properly train
and that he'll give me all the fame
and everyone will know my name
But I think he's insane
'Cause I know the truth- to gain is to give
To have pain is to live
So I call on my heavenly Father's name
And slowly watch the thunder and rain subside
I'm finally able to push the temptations aside
I went blow for blow, I went face to face
Now the devil knows, I'm able to escape
Not by a back door or an alternate route
I saw the middle high ground and I ran right through"
