Thought of as a good, solid starter in the league, Randle took his game to new levels in his second season with the New York Knicks. Along with making his first ever all-star team, the Knicks’ forward was also named an All-NBA Second Team member. It hasn’t always been easy for Randle, the Lakers drafted him with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft and in his rookie debut, he broke his leg against the Rockets just 14 minutes into the contest. Fast forward to now though, and he’s a rising star with plenty of zest to his game.</p><p>One constant in Randle’s life that’s always been by his side since they met, his wife Kendra Shaw. The two met in college and were college sweethearts. While Randle gets a lot of the spotlight playing for the Knicks in New York City (and rightfully so), the focus of this piece will be on Julius Randle’s wife, Kendra Shaw.</p><h2>Julius Randle’s wife: Kendra Shaw</h2><p><img alt="Julius Randle's wife, Kendra Shaw, Julius Randle" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1356852" height="1060" src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Julius-Randles-wife-Kendra-Shaw-Julius-Randle.jpeg" width="1890"></p><p>Kendra Shaw runs and owns her own apparel brand called <a href="https://kaloreofficial.com/pages/about" target="_blank">“Kalore.”</a> Based out of New York City, the company specializes in women’s clothing including pants, suits and tops. In the description about the brand and herself on the website, it states:</p><blockquote><p>Welcome to Kalore. Our New York City fashion brand was created to empower women to feel sexy, conﬁdent and ﬁerce. Our premiere collection boasts a palette of vibrant colors, smooth neutrals and comfortable fabrics to express your current mood.</p><p>A small-town girl from Kentucky and raised by a single mother, our founder and CEO, Kendra Randle is living a life she only dreamed of. Upon ﬁnishing college for fashion design and merchandising, she took time to support her husband while he pursued his NBA career. They’ve lived in Los Angeles, Dallas, and now call New York City home.</p></blockquote><p>Talk about a win-win situation for the Randle’s, Julius is helping inject life into the Knicks once again by getting them to the playoffs while Kendra has launched her own apparel brand in arguably the best city in the world to do so.</p><p>Together, the couple has a son, Kyden Randle, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-julius-randle-heartwarming-moment-with-son-after-31-point-game-raptors/" target="_blank">who went viral on numerous occasions during the 2020-21 Knicks season</a>.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kyden Randle is the PRINCE of NYC <img alt="🤴" class="wp-smiley" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/1f934.png" style="height: 1em;"></p><p>Look at the fans showin him love <a href="https://t.co/PDHK3fe97y" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/PDHK3fe97y</a></p><p>— KNICKS ON MSG (@KnicksMSGN) <a href="https://twitter.com/KnicksMSGN/status/1393024609918803973?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 14, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kyden Randle giving his dad his MIP award is the cutest thing you’ll see this week <a href="https://t.co/nsiTzEb3de" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/nsiTzEb3de</a></p><p>— Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) <a href="https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1397534427576680450?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 26, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">No offseason for Kyden Randle <a href="https://t.co/WKTKRMySBN" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/WKTKRMySBN</a></p><p>— New York Basketball (@NBA_NewYork) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA_NewYork/status/1404946603060781059?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">June 15, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CJJU5dHj15N/" target="_blank">Kendra shared some thoughts via her instagram on Kyden’s 4th birthday</a>.</p><blockquote><p>“My sweet baby boy. Where has time gone? I can’t believe you are 4 years old. I love being your mommy and I’m so proud of the smart, sweet boy you are. Mommy and daddy got you forever. Happy 4th birthday my Kyden Jay.”</p></blockquote><p>The young fella is just 4-years-old and has already gained mass popularity. Kyden is about to have to share that spotlight though as Kendra and Julius announced in June that they are expecting their second child.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This year has been full of blessings but this is by far our biggest<img alt="🤎" class="wp-smiley" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/1f90e.png" style="height: 1em;"> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RandlePartyOf4?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#RandlePartyOf4</a><img alt="🤎" class="wp-smiley" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/1f90e.png" style="height: 1em;"> <a href="https://t.co/F2ud2SmOl1" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/F2ud2SmOl1</a></p><p>— Kendra Randle (@KendraRandle_) <a href="https://twitter.com/KendraRandle_/status/1403761268302008328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">June 12, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p><p>As for the couple themselves, Julius and Kendra were college sweethearts who stayed with it after their time at Kentucky. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BG63p54lpbC/" target="_blank">Julius proposed to Kendra in June of 2016 in Greece</a>.</p><blockquote><p>“6/20/16 the best night of my entire life. I couldn’t have painted a better picture. Words can’t describe the way I’m feeling and how I felt in that moment. You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I can’t wait to spend forever with you.” – Kendra Randle after Julius’ proposal.</p></blockquote><p>The two married in August of 2017 with plenty of family and friends in attendance. Two of Randle’s then teammates, Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson (all on the Lakers at the time) decided to give an unannounced speech, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/sports/lakers/la-sp-lakers-julius-randle-20180324-story.html" target="_blank">via the LA Times</a>.</p><blockquote><p>“There were times when me and Jordan were saying we were trying to take him to a strip club,” Nick Young said. “And he didn’t go…He’s a good one.”</p></blockquote><p>Seeing Young and Clarkson go up to grab the mic when it wasn’t planned likely had Randle a tad nervous but it was all good vibes on the wedding day for Julius and Kendra Randle.</p><p>With Julius’ career taking off in New York and a potential big extension coming in the next year or so, one thing that is certain is that Knicks fans hope the Randle family is around for the long haul. With Kendra starting her own apparel line and Kyden taking the fan base by storm, it’s likely that the feeling is mutual.</p><p>As you can see, the Randle’s are a tight-knit bunch that constantly bring good energy to the table. And now you know a lot more about Julius Randle’s wife, the one behind it all, Kendra Shaw (Randle). A wife, a mother, a successful entrepreneur.</p><p>The post <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/julius-randles-wife-kendra-shaw/" rel="nofollow">Julius Randle’s wife: Kendra Shaw</a> appeared first on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com" rel="nofollow">ClutchPoints</a>.</p></div>    </body></html>

Bradley Beal went into health and safety protocols as did Jerami Grant. Then Kevin Love <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/4-best-team-usa-replacements-kevin-love/">announced his withdrawal</a> from the Games, clearing up two roster spots after the announcement of Beal missing the games.

Well, <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/07/18/team-usa-basketball-never-made-julius-randle-an-offer/?utm_source=twitter_sitebuttons&amp;utm_medium=site%20buttons&amp;utm_campaign=site%20buttons">Marc Berman of The New York Post</a> gave some clarity on the snub of the Knicks All-Star.</p><blockquote>“The U.S. Olympic team, in search of two replacement players for Tokyo, never made Knicks All-Star power forward Julius Randle an offer, according to multiple industry sources.”</blockquote><p>Wait, not even an offer? It is a shock that McGee was the choice. Johnson makes sense for his fit with Gregg Popovich and his position.

The decision of McGee brought a ton of reactions, and leaving off Randle will never make sense regardless of the number of explanations given by anybody.</p><p>Hopefully it doesn’t hurt Team USA in the long run, though.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He made his first ever all-star team and was named a second team all-pro as well.

Love’s star has fallen with the Cavs in recent years, and there were other worthy candidates for his roster spot.</p><p>New York Knicks All-Star Julius Randle was one of those candidates. USA Basketball executive director Jerry Colangelo admitted Randle was close to making the team, but ultimately the decision was made to go with Love. There were several reasons:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Knicks' Julius Randle was "right there" for an Olympic roster spot, <a href="https://twitter.com/usabasketball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@usabasketball</a> executive director Jerry Colangelo said. </p><p>Kevin Love's international experience was key in his selection, Colangelo said. Love, Draymond Green and Kevin Durant are previous gold medalists.</p><p>— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheSteinLine/status/1409560564536287234?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">June 28, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jerry Colangelo says Kevin Love made the USA team due to his versatility, ability to rebound and score and his previous <a href="https://twitter.com/usabasketball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@usabasketball</a> experience. Sounds like Colangelo believes that Love has also accepted a reserve role, too.</p><p>— Marc J. Spears (@MarcJSpears) <a href="https://twitter.com/MarcJSpears/status/1409560539202670596?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">June 28, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Kevin Love won gold as a member of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_United_States_men%27s_Olympic_basketball_team" rel="noopener">2012 Olympic team</a> in London. He appeared in all eight games off the bench, averaging 11.6 points and 7.6 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game. The big man shot a red-hot 63.0% from the field and a stellar 36.4% from 3-point range.</p><p>Love also won gold as a member of Team USA at the 2010 FIBA World Championship,</p><p>Having this USA Basketball experience clearly played a big factor in Kevin Love making this Olympic roster over Randle, who just had the best NBA season of his career. Randle averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists while shooting 41.1% from 3-point range in the regular season. The 26-year-old did struggle against the Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs, but he’s considered a better player than Love at this point.</p><p>Love is still a good shooter who hit 36.5% of his triples for the Cavs this season, but his overall production has dipped in recent seasons as he has been decimated by injuries. He appeared in just 25 games in 2020-21 for a Cavs squad that missed the playoffs once again. The veteran has also <a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-koby-altman-reveals-kevin-love-punishment-after-temper-tantrum-raptors/" rel="noopener">outwardly expressed his frustrations</a> numerous times over the past few years.</p><p>However, this all didn’t stop him from getting a coveted Team USA spot. We’ll see if Kevin Love can help them win a fourth consecutive gold medal.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He had a young squad led by new acquisition Julius Randle and lottery pick Julius Randle. The future seemed bright. Until it wasn’t.</p><p>After just 104 games with the Knicks, Fizdale was fired. It sent the passionate tactician into an emotional tailspin, admitting to The Undefeated that he struggled with his mental health (via <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/06/24/david-fizdales-knicks-firing-left-him-feeling-like-a-fraud/">New York Post</a>).</p><blockquote>“I really was at the lowest place I’ve ever been from a mental health standpoint.”</blockquote><p>The shocking sacking also placed doubts on Fizdale’s mind. He signed a five-year deal with the Knicks worth $22 million, but he didn’t even get to the half of his second season. To him, it felt the whole stint was an aberration.</p><blockquote>“When you go through the whole part of, ‘What could I have done different? Did I even deserve this job?’ You think like you were an imposter. You felt like you got over on these people. You’re a fraud.”</blockquote><p>Fizdale admitted he had a hard time figuring out how to connect with his players. Randle <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/julius-randle/9a6b0863/stats">wasn’t a leader yet</a>, Barrett was a newcomer, while guys like Bobby Portis Jr. and Marcus Morris were mercurial. But Fizdale never pointed fingers, acknowledging he took the wrong approach.</p><blockquote>“I loved them, and probably a big part of me wanted them to love me back. I had a very hard time disconnecting from the human being in them. And so I found myself in a conundrum. It was eating me alive every day.”</blockquote><p>With several jobs available in the NBA, David Fizdale said he’s ready to return. Clearly, his failed stint with the Knicks only made him better.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
