Bounce back wins, CJ McCollum returns to Lehigh | The Squad S3E4 | New Orleans Pelicans All-Access

We had David Buster you know giving back to a family that’s bring so much joy energy and Grandma Katrina she don’t like and call that but you know we just uh enjoying giving back and having a good time with them you know Grandma ktina heard you am not Dr on I am

Diva she is Diva I am Diva I heard you you do a lot you know I heard a lot of good things about you you know my grandma meant a lot to me you know she was the best in the world and you know if it wasn’t for her I probably

Wouldn’t be in certain situations I y’all he you know I just want to say thank you for all that and um my family we want to give you do something personally and you know hope have a Merry Christmas what in this baby om New Orleans is a special place you

Know I feel like like I said it’s a city that could relate to what I what I go through or how I carry myself is you know out the mud gritty going to grind for what they got even when a storm comes and break them down they going to

Buildt right back up oh my God I told you you have her crying and then I’m cry cuz I’m a cryy me too I’m their fans so like they my fans but I’m their fans for real all love Merry Christmas but you cry baby mama I’m I’m so used to doing things like

Others and I’m hardly ever you know on a receiving end and to actually have somebody to give me something and uh brought tears to my eyes you know you never realize how down on Earth people are until you get to actually meet them when you have those intimate interactions with them you know

You really get to see them for who they are versus seeing them on you know the basketball back court to jaw and here we go game clock at three jaw center of the lane spins layup will go at the buzzer ball game one point loss so the PS are now 0

And six in games decided by three or less but as you and I said it’s not one guy it’s all of us we’re all in it it’s an opportunity for all of us to get better this this crap hurts losing games like this but you know it’s a part of it

And and we have to learn from these moments and and we don’t finger point we’re in it together and we we we figure it out Together the struggle builds character it builds a greater appreciation and it gives you a better understanding of what’s needed uh to have and to sustain a high level of play and success so I think it’ll it’ll pay off for us it’s just adversity never too high never too

Low I mean really just how about you come out the storm if you care about it we got to have attention to detail every time we step on the floor and it’s on us to be accountable for let’s hey desperate times call for desperate measures but we ain’t getting

Desperate we just getting better and now the fs trying to bounce back after another very frustrating night it’s holding on the leads and then being an alpha down the stretch taking control of your own contest at your home floor as well attack that Rim CJ got contact and goes to the

Line to the Third right there beautiful pass right there I’m telling you it’s not complicated Pals finally snap a losing Stak to the team from Utah and it reached it’s there playing fast playing with the purpose let’s try to build on this momentum okay let’s build on this bring it

In Davis lead the league in boards ands it away but a good job watch out on the loose ball he’s got the shot you talking about too strong yonas takes it away from Anthony Davis gets thex to the no at that a that bad if you like that

Thing Brandon sizing it up boy taking his time as you like a popcor machine or something coming in oh yeah might have three points at half time game discipline was at a high level okay way to go um balance attack from start to finish all you guys then lastly

For us I don’t care who you are it feels good to beat a team that like beat us the way we got beat in Vegas it feels good to Double Down on them tonight bring it in [Applause] y on three 1 2 three H’s coming into this 5game road

Trip off a four-game winning streak that was just snapped by the Los Angeles Clippers but still playing their best basketball of the Season winners at n of the last 13 we don’t want to be an emotional team and hang our hats by every single win and loss we got to stay

The course we have to be better we know it our guys in the locker room know it we’ll come in tomorrow watch film get on the floor and work we try to have a standard and how we play we want to go out and be a really good solid team

Every night I just think this team has to proove you know that we work well together obviously off the court everybody sees how well we work together but you know we just got to make sure we’re all healthy and there and together in order to you know build and uh get

Wins all us are on the court this roster is designed for success and it it produced that when when allowed to so so I think we’ve got a good grasp on you know our own biggest enemy is us and welcome to Downtown Sacramento it’s rare when you see a team five times

And that’s going to be the case with the Sacramento Kings now McCollum a deep right wing three is good and McCollum got free and knocked a three down H it out to McCullum for the left corner three McCullum to the rescue with 6 made three of the ball game and CJ is

Shooting it as well as he ever has in his career here right now we’re joined Now by a guy who got off on the right foot for you you know there are certain gemms where you just feel better you have a better Rhythm your shot just

Feels better is this one of those gyms and places for you yeah Sacramento was supposed to draft me they had me come back for a second workout um actually told me they were going to take me a seven and they didn’t so person I enjoy I enjoy playing here being overlooked

And underestimated throughout my career has just allowed me to work extremely hard on not only proving Dollar’s R but proving myself right from Canton Ohio being the first player ever drafted into the NBA from Le University those things are always something that kind of motivates me to continue to push the

Moment I got my offer from Lehi I was excited I was nervous I had to do some research on where the school was at coaching staff kind of figuring out like what I fit in there I’m back at Lehi my old stomping grounds we have Lehi Alumni

Hall of Fame weekend we’re here about to have dinner with the family with a lot of alumni and other Hall of Famers so it was just really cool to kind of see everything Inc come full circle it’s a a really really cool experience and and something that I’ll never forget and I’m

Truly thankful and appreciative of the support that I’ve received from everybody Welcome CJ mccom to the Le High Athletics Hall of Fame it’s sa of not making a speech too long I think I’m going to I’m going to wrap by saying two things I think it’s important like you said before you don’t

Judge a book by its cover but it’s also important that we set unrealistic goals and expectations I think when we do those things we’re able really really test ourselves and see what our ceiling is about so I wish you guys nothing but the best I came to Lehigh as a you know

511 155lb kid and they would say things like you’re never going to go to the NBA from a school like that no one’s ever gone to the NBA before and I would tell them I’m going to be the first one you can see right here the Roger

Pinsky athletic Hall of Fame are walking in we always Envision you know being in here at some point and yesterday it happened for the kid only six basketball players in the Hall of Fame I am number six I used to come here as a freshman and kind of envisioned

Myself being in here one day 2010 2012 I dropped the ball in 11 and I was hurting 13 my freshman year I our first championship this is Taylor gym this is one of the gyms that the students use here I had a key to work out late at

Night kind of clear my mind 2018 I got my jersey retire which is crazy to think about cuz that was a long time ago we 4 years together 3 years together two one when I was a freshman Dave was a senior and he made me carry the laundry coach Reed drove through a

Tornado he got lost basically trying to get to my house he end up finding it after about 6 seven hours shows you a little bit of about commitment that I have I walk in I get a warm welcome but the lights are out my mind was set like

He was somebody that was going to be a terrific player for me reh high and leh High basketball and now for me to see him like leading his family it’s just special to me CJ’s living into that and as a coach I can’t ask for much more I

Just want him to understand that you could be anything you want to be in this world you could accomplish anything but you got to work hard basketball CJ two you got to have good character you got to do things the right way uh what you speak becomes your reality and

I’ve always believed that just finished up here being recognized uh at the game here at Goodman Stadium always a pleasure to be out here see all the fans see all the kids that’s all for Lehi here in Bethlehem always a pleasure always a Blessing
