I don’t feel like I’ve heard enough from the media that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was frickin’ INCARCERATED for a whole month, not incarcerated so hard that he couldn’t play in Lakers home games, but so incarcerated that he couldn’t legally leave the state of California. I would think that would be the perfect thing to accentuate the Lakers’ dismal season, a little extra jab to taunt this once great franchise, but nope. Only a few articles, maybe some time on ESPN but I don’t watch that.
Truth is, not many people around the country care about KCP no matter if he’s driving drunk or driving and dunking, and they never did. He played a bunch of seasons in Detroit without making a single dent in the minds of the average NBA fan. Same way that Darren Collison can get away with hitting chicks, KCP can get away with being an alky while operating a motor vehicle.
