C.J McCollum Accidentally Created Greatest Meme Of The Summer
I can’t decide if Blazers guard CJ McCollum has had the best summer on social media or the worst. It’s really odd!
First, he got burned by Kevin Durant on his own podcast, now he accidentally created the NBA summer’s best meme! It is absolutely brilliant.
During a TV-appearance in China, CJ said that he doesn’t like players joining a superteam team like the Golden State Warriors to win a championship, adding that he would never do it. He then backed up his statement with a tweet.
A fan named Jennifer Williams saw the tweet and challenged McCollum to win a playoff game first before saying anything. CJ’s reply went viral within seconds.
“I’m trying Jennifer!”
Im trying Jennifer
