CJ McCollum is in a no-win situation.
If his Portland Trail Blazers defeat the Warriors in the upcoming Western Conference finals, the 20-point-per-game guard will have to concede he was shamelessly agitating last summer when, chatting with Kevin Durant on a podcast, he insinuated that the Dubs broke the NBA. How? By recruiting Durant as a free agent in 2016, and scooping up DeMarcus Cousins last summer, therefore assembling a nearly unbeatable Colossus.
“Why are you mad about this stuff?” Durant asked during the podcast heard ’round the conference.
“Bro, I’m in the league,” McCollum said.
