    CJ MCCOLLUM TO COMPETE IN FOOT LOCKER THREE-POINT CONTEST AT NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND

    McCollum replaces Chris Bosh, will represent Portland in two events at All-Star Saturday Night


    PORTLAND, Ore. (February 12, 2016) – Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum has been added to the 2016 Foot Locker Three-Point Competition, the NBA announced today.


    McCollum, 24, is already competing in the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, and will replace Miami’s Chris Bosh in the Three-Point Competition. Both events are part of State Farm All-Star Saturday Night at Air Canada Centre in Toronto.


    In 52 games played this season, McCollum ranks second on the team in both scoring (20.7 ppg) and assists (4.2 apg). He is shooting a team-high 39.2% from beyond the three-point line, and ranks ninth in the NBA with 125 three-point field goals.


    McCollum recorded 35 points (14-28 FG), 11 rebounds, nine assists and four steals against Sacramento on Dec. 27, making him the first NBA player to log at least 35 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists and four steals in a game since

    Kevin Garnett on Dec. 10, 2004.


    He becomes the eighth Trail Blazer in franchise history to compete in the Three-Point Contest, joining Kiki Vandeweghe (1987), Danny Ainge (1991), Clyde Drexler (1991), Terry Porter (1991, 1993), Cliff Robinson (1996), Damian Lillard (2014) and Wesley Matthews (2015). No Portland player has ever won the event.


    McCollum will compete against Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, Houston’s James Harden, Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton, Toronto’s Kyle Lowry, the L.A. Clippers’ JJ Redick and Phoenix’s Devin Booker.


    State Farm All-Star Saturday night tips off at 5:30 p.m. (Pacific) tomorrow evening, live on TNT.

    CJ deserves his own thread instead of sharing one with you in a Durant jersey.

    didn't get the Memo? @Denny Crane is setting your post count back to zero for your massively failed season prediction. Sorry Rook!

    Ahh. That makes much more sense. I was looking at cj and couldn't remember him being that inked. I would go back and edit my post, but I'll leave it to show that I was a dumbass for a few seconds.
