Black everywhere?
Great Interview!!!
#Hot-Lanta ππ₯
NAW please find OJ Santiago, your homie who played for Falcons back in the day. He truly enjoyed and celebrated his time as a professional Canadian athlete in the ATL!
Peachtree! π¦ π₯
Amazing interview π₯π₯ππ
Hope both these guys finish their career here. Atlanta is a wonderful city and them embracing it is awesome. Stay CJ!
Walker is playing better than Trey. I bet anything he has a higher field goal percentage this year than any year Trey had. Trey may have a place on some roster but he seems to be jinxed.
Great show
Got to keep these two until they retire. GREAT interview. Both of these guys have seriously got it going on. Both are absolutely as well-grounded as anybody could ever be. I know everybody's calling this JJ's team (and it will be), but right now – THESE two guys are the voice of reason and experience. These two guys (IMO) are the main reason the Hawks are where they're at right now.
Letβs go Hawks
NAW and CJ playing great basketball. I hope CJ comes back next season
Go Hawks cacaaaaw
CJ is a real pro

CJ is intelligent in the way he speaks. McCollum went on to graduate from Lehigh University with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.
