Kevin Love Reacts to C.J. McCollum Receiving Massive Contract Extension

On Tuesday, Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum agreed to a three-year, $100 million contract extension, which will take effect when his current contract expires at the end of the 2020-21 season.

One Cleveland Cavaliers star took to social media to congratulate the Trail Blazers guard.

McCollum is one of a handful of elite NBA players who hasn’t been named to an NBA All-Star team. In his six years in the league, he has averaged 17.8 points per game while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 40.1 percent from 3-point range.

After a quiet start to his career his first two seasons, he has arguably become a star the last four years. In the 2018-19 campaign, he put up an average of 21.0 points a game.

McCollum played a key role in the Blazers’ Game 7 win in Denver in the second round of the 2019 playoffs, as he posted 37 points and nine rebounds on 17-29 shooting from the field in that victory.

Having added former Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside, and with a healthy Jusuf Nurkic, the Trail Blazers are hoping to build on their trip to the Western Conference Finals when they report to training camp in a couple of months.

He has been an avid NBA fan since he was a little kid in the mid '90s and has seen the Cavs go from NBA laughingstocks, to contenders, back to laughingstocks and finally world champions. He feels strongly that the NBA and sports aren't just entertainment, but also a means for learning life lessons.
