It’s the end of the road for Michael Redd. Once, arguably the best shooter in the game, Redd has barely been able to see the court in the last handful of years due to injury. Because of this, Redd has decided to hang it up.
But don’t cry for him. He had a nice run. He has an olympic medal and $100M+ worth of NBA salary over his 12 year career to cheer him up at night.
Former Bucks All-Star guard Michael Redd will attend tomorrow’s Bucks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game (7 p.m.) to thank the fans of Milwaukee and officially announce his retirement from the NBA. Redd will address the crowd at the BMO Harris Bradley Center between the first and second periods.
Redd was drafted by the Bucks with the 43rd overall selection in the 2000 NBA Draft and went on to play 11 seasons in Milwaukee, where he averaged 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. Redd’s name ranks among the all-time Bucks career leaders in the following categories: points (4th – 11,554); scoring average (5th – 20.0 ppg); games (7th, 578); minutes (5th, 19,334); field goals made (7th, 4,063); field goals attempted (4th, 9,045); three-point field goals made (2nd, 1,003); three-point field goals attempted (1st, 2,619); three-point field goal percentage (8th, .383); free throws made (2nd, 2,425); free throws attempted (3rd, 2,887); and free throw percentage (10th, .840).
