Fresh off his second Larry O’Brien trophy, Caldwell-Pope joined JJ Reddick on the retired sharpshooter’s The Old Man & The Three podcast. Reddick shared with the Nuggets role player how he says Lebron James and Nikola Jokic have “a supercomputer in their brain” because “their processing speed on the basketball court” is faster than anyone else in the league.
Caldwell-Pope agreed with this assessment, saying, “There’s things I’ve seen them do on the court, it’s like, ‘How did you even see that?’ High IQ players. They know how to control the game, getting their teammates involved, making their teammates better around him. I would say that’s the biggest similarity.”
The 10-year NBA vet also had more big praise for both of the NBA legends he’s played and won titles with.
