McCollum Presser

[adrenalize74]

Oh God! what could I do? I foamed! I raved! I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder...louder...LOUDER! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God!...no, NO! They heard!...they suspected!...they knew! They were making a mockery of my horror!-This I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! and now...again!...hark! louder! louder! louder! LOUDER!!!!!!!

I for one appreciate the Edgar Allan Poe reference.

Also, it reads to me like Stotts was making a light hearted inject comment. "I like making 3s though, ha ha ha".

I know. My sexiness is pretty hard to beat!

You have to own the throne to be dethroned, FAMS!

I know you take pictures of me and lay them on the side of your pillow

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

That doesn't necessarily make you the sexiest.

Besides, I wish I had to for pillows. So busy these days, I have time for little else besides work, play, and drinking (it's all intertwined). I can barely remember what you look like (the drinking helps - it at least makes me think about what I want you to look like).

i don't mind "chick." as a matter of fact, there's only about two words which i do mind.

I bet I can guess which ones those are!

i'm not even going there.

i watched part of the presser. i really like CJ's demeanor. seems mature for his age.

Mags' friend?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

I AM STILL A WHITE HOT MANIC SUPERNOVA OF FRENZIED EXASPERATION

 

[illmatic99]

Just watched the vid. Ya lol the true Stotts mentality came out.

 

[julius]

I bet I know the two words..

Friend Zone!


wait..those are the two words i hate.

 

[PapaG]

Seems like CJ is hungry to get better and amped to play.

Sounds a lot like Lillard from last summer. Bring on the Vegas League!

Raymond and Felton?

I really can't wait. He talks so well, seems soooo confident; and most importantly; he's played 4 years of college. I'm telling you; these 4 year players have so much of a better chance to be good right out of the gate!

 

[PDXKass]

Raymond and Felton?

best one yet!

 

[B-Roy]

Even if he ends up being a bad player, I'm very impressed with him as a person. Very smart.

that's what i came away with from the presser. he's very thoughtful and intelligent. i'm impressed too.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

IS HE AN ASPIRING RAPPER?

I'm pumped to see what he can do in summer league. We gonna get the MVP again?

Don't know. There are much better players CJ has to beat out. But anything is possible!

 

[illmatic99]

We've had at least 3 of the last 10 SL MVPs from what I can remember: Woods, Bayless, Dame.

One year Bonzi dominated. Not sure if he won or not.

McCollum was 5'2" as a freshman in High School (teammate of Kosta Koufos):

Is that Webster?

 

[blue9]

I saw that pic earlier today and I couldn't believe it - he looks like Emmanuel Lewis!

I think this is a common misconception. IIRC, Qyntel was the leading scorer in the Rocky Mountain Review his second year, but I don't think he was MVP and I'm pretty sure he was never MVP of the Las Vegas Summer League. Man that guy had a million dollar talent, and a 50-cent head.

If you were to ask people: "Which of these kids will make it in the NBA?" how many would have picked the tiny kid?

 

[HailBlazers]

Guess being Tiny promoted his handles!
