I was wrong about Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and I’m sorry

Dear Mister Kentavious Caldwell-Pope,

My name is Anthony Irwin, and I am writing to say that I’m sorry.

At some point or another, I may have possibly hinted that you play like Jeffrey Jordan when games matter but turn into Michael Jordan during garbage time. This year, you’ve hit some of the season’s biggest shots and I find myself absolutely comfortable seeing the ball swing over to you wide open in the corner.

There was a time where I wondered if — even given how great LeBron James is — whether your presence on the roster was too high a tax for also having James.
