Michael Redd On Milwaukee

For those who read Gilbert Arenas's latest blog, you know that he is not a fan of the city of Milwaukee. Joking about the recent trade of his friend, Richard Jefferson, from New Jersey to Milwaukee, Arenas wrote, "Oh man, did I start laughing. You know why? Because every player hates Milwaukee. Nobody wants to live in Milwaukee. I'm sorry, Milwaukee, to come down hard on you, but no one in the NBA wants to play in Milwaukee."


Redd was asked about Arenas's comments, but he refused to bite. "That's his opinion," Redd said. "I can't knock it. That's what he believes. That's all I can say"

I asked Redd if it bothered him that there is a perception that Milwaukee is a bad place to be. Again, he was very diplomatic. "It doesn't bug me," he said. "I like it in Milwaukee. The people are great. I've been there for nine years, so I don't have anything bad to say about it."
