In this hilarious and candid episode of Dawg Talk, co-hosts J Mac and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (KCP) kick back and share some wild stories from summers past — from unforgettable (and regrettable) party nights in 2016 to throwing up on a stranger’s head in the club, and even blacking out on NBA Draft night. KCP recalls moments that shaped his off-court journey, while J Mac reflects on a turning point in 2021 where KCP and his dad helped pull him out of a low moment in life.

The conversation shifts into hoops talk as they break down the NBA Finals matchups, with KCP still riding for OKC to win in 6. They debate Tyrese Haliburton’s superstar status, highlight the value of role players like Caruso and Lu Dort, and reflect on Austin Rivers’ recent comments giving props to KCP for mastering the art of being a high-impact role player.

They also dive into the harsh reality of the coaching carousel in the NBA, with recent firings like Coach Thibodeau and Mike Malone raising eyebrows, and KCP shedding light on the business side of the league.

From brotherhood and nightlife mishaps to NBA insight and future coaching dreams, this episode blends laughs, life lessons, and locker room wisdom.
