CJ McCollum is one of the more involved NBA players. He’s got a journalism degree from LeHigh, but that didn’t stop him from taking classes at Harvard this summer; he’s opened centers for underprivileged children in Portland; he’s seen working out with the likes of Damian Lillard and Carmelo Anthony in the summer. You can even find him rooting for his brother, Euroleague star Errick McCollum, from the sidelines in the offseason.
Jon Wetheim of Sports Illustrated caught up with McCollum and asked about a range of things. For example, McCollum’s been involved on NBA sidelines interviewing players, even interviewing the commissioner.
