Errick McCollum Plays as a guard for the CBA ( Chinese Basketball Association). Mccollum’s brother , C.J. plays basketball for the Portland Trail Blazers.
McCollum is helping his team score points. He broke the record in the CBA for the most points scored when he put up 82 points that game .”It was a special moment” he said. When McCollum called and told his parents he had 82 points that game they didn’t believe him . ” I had to give the phone to my girl friend to tell them before they believed it.”
McCollum took risks in his young career by choosing to move away from his family but it is for a good cause that he would have a better game in the CBA than the NBA so, instead of giving it up he moved far away from his family and took the risks. ” When I’m playing the game that I love I can’t give it up.” ” I had to go some were where I could blossom.”
When McCollum first moved there he said ” It was an eye opening experience.” McCollum has to have a translator follow him around so he can order food and talk to his teammates. Some of the people that McCollum talks to in China speaks a little english so he has to talk slow and be specific when talking to them. McCollum moving to has really effected because he is away from his family and his girlfriend so, that is wanna of the he’ll have to take.
