CJ McCollum Trying To Get A Pissed Off Zach Collins To Meditate On The Bench Was Absolutely Hilarious

Something about this is absolutely hilarious. I mean the Blazers are up 12 with a minute to go against the Bulls. There’s no way the Bulls are making up that difference in a minute. Let’s be honest with that one – sorry Barstool Chicago. Collins was called for his 6th foul which is why he’s so upset, but take it down a notch, Zach.

McCollum is one of the best personalities in the NBA. He’s absolutely hilarious and awesome on podcasts and interviews, oh, and also pretty damn good on the court. And now he’s out here trying to force Zach Collins to meditate on the bench, which is just an outrageous move. I love that he’s sort of clowning him as Collins is visibly pissed off. It probably helped that CJ went for 24 points and 10-for-14 from the field. I’d be happy on the bench with that statline and a win too.

I’ll say this about Collins. I can appreciate him being pissed off. Dude loves to compete. He’s also been pretty good this year as the third big behind Nurkic and Aminu. He’s going to keep getting better too. He was coming off the bench at Gonzaga. He wasn’t expected to be a one-and-done. He has the ability to protect the rim and also step out a bit to stretch the floor.

Namaste, Zach. Namaste.
