LeBron James Makes Strong Declaration About KCP

At the start of last season, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope of the Los Angeles Lakers began to have a very rough time. He was missing shots and putting up stat lines that had all of Twitter coming after him. In situations like this, it is easy for a player to just shut down and lose all of their confidence. With KCP, this simply was not the case as he was able to turn on the jets and become one of the Lakers’ best role players. This was especially true in the NBA Finals as KCP hit huge shots in big moments.

Just yesterday, the NBA Twitter account decided to pay homage to Caldwell-Pope’s efforts by posting some of his best NBA Finals highlights. LeBron James caught on to the hype surrounding the clip and weighed in as he made his best dad pun in regards to KCP’s name. Simply put, LeBron is convinced Caldwell-Pope is the real MVP.

“KC-“MVP”ope!!! My brother was PHENOMENAL!!” James wrote. Caldwell-Pope has been honest with the media about his struggles earlier in the season, so receiving such a co-sign from LeBron must be a real honor. Not to mention, the NBA championship certainly helped to shut the haters up.

Caldwell-Pope is currently under contract with the Lakers for one more year, although he can opt-out this offseason if he so chooses. For now, however, it seems like L.A. is his ideal destination.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
