Kentavious Caldwell-Pope says Lakers' 2020 bubble tournament 'was one of the toughest tournaments to win'

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: “They just hate, man. He is one of the most difficult competitions to win. You play the season and the season is closed. You don't know if he will come back to play basketball. We saw how, in the regular season, we played and we said, 'What the f—.' The season is over, just fine. What if we can't come back because we already had it like, this is our heroism regardless of whether or not COVID stopped it. But then the season stops, it explodes, the season starts and we have to go to the bubble…When we knew that the season started to go back from the bubble, we had hype. We were ready to claim our championship as we wanted. Then the season stopped and it bubbled. These things are like people's minds are confused like 'I'm ready to go home. Forget basketball.' I am very grateful and I appreciate all my teammates that I played with at that time, their mind was in that tournament. They are ready to go. They came here for a reason and we wanted it.”
