Lehigh men's basketball legend and Portland Trail Blazers star guard CJ McCollum '13 took time out of his schedule to join the Mountain Hawk Talk Podcast, presented by Lehigh Valley Health Network and Coordinated Health on Monday.
Hosted by Josh Liddick, CJ talked about a variety of topics including entering his eighth season in the association (3:09), habits and traits he uses today that were developed during his time at Lehigh (4:02), learning the importance of family while in the Orlando bubble over the summer (5:27), working with youth pursuing a career in journalism through "CJ's Press Pass," and his work and goals in battling social injustices and systemic racism (12:20).
Fans "Ask CJ" their questions (16:35), while the Canton, Ohio native discusses the rare success of the Cleveland Browns this season (24:18). CJ gives his thoughts on how the Trail Blazers will perform this year (25:55), his brand new pinot noir wine, McCollum Heritage 91, released in the fall (26:50), how Lehigh's mantra "Learn, Grow, Lead" applies to him (28:57), and why thinks the prospective basketball student athlete should choose Lehigh University in the recruiting process (32:06). Special thanks to Roseann Corsi of the Lehigh Athletics Partnership for arranging this interview.
