Now you can celebrate your championship!
Speaking of NBA championship rings, the Nuggets. Kentavious Caldwell Pope He has two of those titles, the first of which he won with LeBron & Company in 2020 as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. But that title was in the middle of a bubble, and with the COVID-19 pandemic still going on, Thursday in Denver was the first title. KCP was able to enjoy the victory parade.
Caldwell-Pope has been integral to the Nuggets’ successful 2022-23 NBA championship season, playing a major role in the glue that holds the team together with stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. But Caldwell Pope shines not only on the court, but at parties.
Jokic may have been more disappointed in returning to his hometown in Serbia with his beloved horse than attending the parade, but my man, KCP, was partying hard and drinking every beer in sight. At one point he even jumped off the bus to have a chugging contest with a fan and even gave a fan a big hug before heading back to the parade.
But perhaps the best part of the whole ordeal was KCP sitting in the backseat of the bus drinking beer like 1990s Stone Cold Steve Austin. And in true WWE Attitude Era fashion, slam after slap them like the “rattlesnake” did.
hey you It was so grand.

I may be a Miami Heat fan, but it was a big smile for them. How can you not love this?
And I would have done it just like KCP. Mine was partying with fans, probably getting drunk and driving him crazy, just swimming in the glory of winning. I know a lot of people love what Jokic does and don’t care about winning the ring at all, but please ruin the noise – like it was in 1999 for me. Would have been partying, just like my husband KCP.

Shout out to Denver, dude! I can’t help but be happy with this city.
