Today Write On Sports interviewed Errick McCollum over Skype. Errick McCollum is getting closer to joining the professional basketball team the Denver Nuggets. He is in a summer league. There are 24 NBA teams at the summer league.
“It’s very difficult to make the NBA,” said McCollum. He has been in mini camps with other teams such as Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings, and the Houston Rockets.
He has been to other countries to play. He went to Israel and Europe to play basketball.
McCollum thinks it’s a good experience because he gets to see new things and stuff like that. He told us that a team in a different country there has to be at least 2 domestic players on the court. Some rules are different in other countries.
Before a big basketball game, McCollum gets good rest and also gets a good breakfast. Sometimes he can get nervous, so McCollum listens to slower music instead of rap music because slower music will help him feel more relaxed. Usually McCollum is the first guy at the gym so he will practice and then the game will start.
