LeBron James gives shout out to ‘phenomenal’ Caldwell-Pope

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is still feeling the excitement of winning his fourth NBA championship while also helping the Lakers tie the Boston Celtics for the most championships in NBA history with 17. Of course, now that the season is over, the business of basketball will take center stage even though we are less than three weeks from the Lakers raising the Larry O’Brien trophy. The Lakers have several players who are expected to become free agents and while Anthony Davis is assuredly coming back, others may not be so certain.

Among the free agents, the Lakers will have, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, perhaps their 3rd most important player in the playoffs. The NBA posted highlights of his play on Wednesday and then LeBron James shared it, with a hilariously forced wordplay on his initials.

If the playoffs didn’t drive it home, LeBron’s tweet should. He wants the Lakers to bring Caldwell-Pope back, whatever it takes.
