Kentavious Caldwell-Pope shot lights out for the Los Angeles Lakers!

This picture right shows the confidence of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Just flying through the air with complete belief that his shooting is top shelf in the NBA. Well, the man is right. Coming into the game Caldwell-Pope was shooting 55% from the 3 point line.

The Lakers beat Milwaukee by dropping bombs from behind the arc. They shot 19-37 from behind the arc compared to the Bucks’ 9-28.

One of the main reasons was Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. He was on fire from distance shooting 7-10 from long distance. In the previous game against the Warriors KCP was known as the guy LeBron yelled at for not shooting on Monday. He had only 3 points on 1-3 shooting.

Well, he shot more in this game and the Bucks had no answer for him.

Along with his 23 points, KCP added 3 rebounds and a block. His presence busted Milwaukee’s defensive schemes.

For the season, Caldwell-Pope is second in the NBA in 3 point shooting behind Seth Curry at 56.8%. He’s on fire, and it doesn’t seem like he’s going to cool down. If he stops shooting, we all know what LeBron will do to him. Yell.

Anthony Davis is not happy with his play as of late. Lake Show Life still sees the magnitude of his play even though he believes he needs to get better. Read on.
