More on this storyline
Did you hear from your former Lakers’ teammates considering they didn’t take kindly to some of the trash talk? Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: “No, I didn’t hear much from them. They can take it however they want to take it. We won. We just want to enjoy our championship, and not worry about what everyone else is thinking.” What do you expect Ring Night will be like, particularly with it being against the Lakers? Caldwell-Pope: “The emotions are going to be all over the place. But for us, we want to start off strong for the season. Once we get our rings, that moment is over with. It’s a new season. We have to get ready and be prepared. Accepting your ring is always good, no matter who’s in front.” -via SportsKeeda / October 19, 2023
How did your summer play out coming off the NBA title and welcoming your newborn? Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: “I’m blessed. It was a short summer, but it was fun. I got to really spend that time with my family and my newborn. I was able to enjoy them before we got back on the road. I really enjoyed being with them. I missed a lot of time with my boys before I had my baby girl. I was in Denver, and they were in D.C. So, I was with them and had fun playing basketball and baseball with them. We were really enjoying ourselves.” Have you been able to sleep? Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: “Not yet (laughs). I haven’t been able to get much sleep. I let my wife sleep most of the time because I’m the one who is up late. I tell her, ‘You rest for a little bit, and I’ll take the baby.’” -via SportsKeeda / October 19, 2023
Not even the heat could melt the spirits of Greenville Saturday as the city came out to honor former Greenville High School graduate and 2-time NBA champion Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. The morning began with a surprise sign reveal across from the high school and culminated with a celebratory parade through the square. -via LaGrange Daily News / August 6, 2023
