Who thought a Tar Heel and one of the more hated Duke players could be in one space breaking down the shooting motion? Nevertheless, that is precisely what we got with Cam Johnson talking hoops with JJ Redick.
Johnson appeared on a recent episode of Redick’s The Old Man & the Three, and the two three-point sharpe shooters discussed the art of shooting. A snippet of the interview was posted on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, and picked up significant traction, with top sports outlets sharing the clip.
The original clip posted by Emmy-winning director Jason Gallagher garnered over 2.2 million views. Here is the snippet of the shooting conversation.

Redick, who made his playing career on being deadly from behind the arch, shot 41% in three-point shooting, which ranks 19th in NBA history. Johnson is on his way to becoming the next-best three-point shooter, shooting 39% from three in four seasons.
