In a gym full of popular DJs, radio show hosts and event promoters, it was the 6-foot-5 NBA player at the center of attention. His dunks were thrown down with the most authority, his pull-up 30-footers always felt like they had a chance of going in and his apparel drew the most scrutiny.
“For those who are listening to this,” King Caddy said into a microphone, “he had on Larry Bird shorts. Yes, from the Boston Celtics. Robert Parish shorts.”
Caddy is an on-air personality for HOT 103.9, Columbia’s hip-hop and R&B station. On Sunday afternoon at Gray Collegiate Academy, Caddy was an emcee of sorts for game action at “Roc N Joc,” a charity basketball event where the fashion could be louder than the music blared between whistles.
