Denver Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Says Playing With Nikola Jokic Is Similar To LeBron James
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has the luxury of being teammates with Nikola Jokic and LeBron James.
Caldwell-Pope said they are both equally as dynamic.
"No difference," he said when asked to compare them. "I've got that question so many times. They're both high-IQ basketball players. They make their teammates better, and they can score on any level. I don't see no difference."
Caldwell-Pope won a championship alongside James with the Lakers against the Miami Heat in 2020. Now, he is three wins from doing the same with Jokic.
Caldwell-Pope said he is amazed by Jokic every game.
"Oh, man, he still does to this day," Caldwell-Pope said. "Every game it's something different, or in practice he's showing something that's like real magical. But he never ceases to impress me, just playing with him. He's made me a better player, makes his teammates better around him. He just likes to see everybody happy."
