Asked KCP his favorite Joker story, and Kenny 2X was too savvy to say much. But we all saw those videos of Joker from Vegas.
“I don’t think I can say the one I’m thinking about,” Caldwell-Pope said. “… Jokic is one player that knows how to have fun.”

More on this storyline
Speaking on a recent episode of his podcast with former Celtics teammate Paul Pierce, Ticket & Truth, Garnett passionately expressed his disdain for flopping. According to the former NBA champ, he would like to implement a sensational rule change that he feels would put an end to all this flopping nonsense: “I would call fouls for flopping,” Garnett said. “… You should go in a f**king cage for two minutes for flopping. We should have a flopping cage. Hey Adam, if you’re listening, let’s talk about the concept of a flopping two-minute box.” -via Clutch Points / June 18, 2023

Among those participating in the documentary to place Chamberlain’s life and achievements in context are such figures as Kevin Garnett, Pat Riley, Rick Barry, Bill Walton, Lisa Leslie, Oscar Robertson, Jemele Hill, Jerry West, the late Jim Brown and clinical psychologist Orna Guralnik, among others. The series utilized artificial intelligence to recreate Chamberlain’s voice to narrate his own words, and is further bolstered by archival footage from the Wilt Chamberlain Estate. -via Deadline / June 8, 2023
In an unrelated incident Thursday, a fire truck collided with Denver police Sgt. Justin Dodge near the end of the parade route that ended at the downtown Denver Civic Center, where a rally took place. The truck was transporting multiple Nuggets players including Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray along the route.
