Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on recent Nuggets playoff run: We had no gas, we felt like the Lakers should have beaten us
ClutchPoints: “We had no gas. We felt like the Lakers should have beat us. We was down every game.” Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on the Nuggets’ disappointing postseason run in 2024 🗣️ (via @TheVolumeSports) pic.twitter.com/i9QMyxvwfw
Junior Bridgeman, who played for the Milwaukee Bucks from 1975 to 1984, laughed. What the woman didn’t know was that the recently-retired Bridgeman wasn’t merely working at that Wendy’s location. The 6-foot-5 former wing owned it — and others across the city. But Bridgeman understood her point. Salaries for players then weren’t that high by today’s standards. In Bridgeman’s 12-season career, which included a stint with the LA Clippers, he made about $2.95 million and never more than $350,000 in a season. After his career, he built a fast-food empire that, at its peak, totaled more than 450 restaurants nationwide. He became a Coca-Cola bottling distributor with territory across three states and into Canada. He bought Ebony and Jet magazines. His estimated net worth soared to nearly $600 million, behind just Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and LeBron James, among NBA players.

And while the buzz that surrounded Bronny, and now Bryce, rises to unique heights, that plight is one that fellow NBA sons can relate to. “He’s getting a lot of hate for no reason, just because he’s LeBron’s son. LeBron has a lot of haters,” said Cayden Boozer, a five-star point guard expected to end up at either Duke (like his father, Carlos), Miami or Florida. “He’s still a rookie. He was the 55th pick. I don’t know why they’re expecting, like, that he’s supposed to be the next generational player. He has to become his own player. You have to let that happen.”

Stephen Curry on 2012 Olympics: 'I didn’t get picked because I wasn’t on the level I needed to be'
“In 2012, I didn’t get picked because I wasn’t on the level I needed to be,” said Curry about the 2012 USA Basketball gold medal team that included Durant, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and James Harden. “In ’16, I was coming off the Finals run and I didn’t feel I would get the rest I needed to get ready for the next season. And in 2020, it was a COVID year. And just that whole process, I don’t remember what was going on family wise. But it wasn’t a good time for me. “[Warriors teammate] Draymond [Green] played. He won twice (2016 and 2020). So, obviously I was watching him and missed out. This year, the stars aligned. It feels great. I’ve obviously had some time off for the ramp-up and Paris. It is all really cool.”
