Exclusive "Rip City" - CJ McCollum: The Players Tribune

[Shaboid]

Short piece but to the point. Kind of a "Yeah, we still have a chip on our shoulder". That's how I like my team. Glad CJ is all about showing the city and the fans some love.

Excellent article. Thanks much! It should get posted in last nights game thread....

At that moment, I knew I would always ride for people in the (503), because they had shown me that they’d always ride for me.

Let's hope CJ doesn't read the last game thread

Good article. Glad he feels that way about the city/fans, etc. Doesn't mean he (or any player) is above criticism. But even when i criticize him, I know he's 100X harder on himself than I'd ever be.

Did he mention why he’s allergic to passing the ball?
