Lillard and McCollum are one of the highest scoring backcourt duos in the NBA. Their chemistry off the court contributes to their in-game success.
The success of the Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum as the NBA's second-highest scoring back court can be traced to a friendship between the two that began in 2013, when Lillard was a rookie in Portland and McCollum was a senior at Lehigh. CSNNW's Jason Quick outlines how that relationship has helped the young duo on and off the court, and what sparked the initial conversation before the two ever knew they would be teammates.
