After his big Game 4 performance against the Miami Heat, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope of the Los Angeles Lakers shared what boosted his confidence from beginning right up to the end.
Caldwell-Pope spoke with Lakers reporter Mike Trudell and shared what his mindset was during the game. On top of believing in his own shooting prowess, KCP shared that his teammates trusted him by keeping on dishing him the ball.
āJust stay within the game. Don't let a miss dictate my next shot. I lean on that a lot. I just go with it. Stay with my rhythm, my flow and just continue to shoot the ball. I know I'm a shooter,ā the Lakers guard shared, per Spectrum SportsNet.

KCP sure proved to the Lakers hopeful why he's donning the Purple and Gold. At the beginning of the season, he received several criticisms from fans due to his inconsistent play. Some even wanted him out of the team. But as the season progressed, he showed what he can bring to the table and how he can impact winning. In their Game 4 win, he surely brought it.
