CJ McCollum - Fantastic Finisher

CJ McCollum is officially the NBA's Most Improved Player. Given the right opportunity, he has been allowed to flourish after the Trailblazers’ starter's offseason exodus. The Lehigh Mountain Hawk has ALL the moves. Seriously. Zach Lowe called him “the NBA’s Dean Malenko: a man of 1,000 moves. Some guys have a magic crossover, in-and-out dribble, hesitation move or up-and-under around the rim. McCollum has all those at expert level, and he’s uses them to unleash hell from everywhere.” That being said, take note of all the shifty, and savvy manuevers he busts out on his way to the hole. It’s majestic.
Per NBA.com’s stat tracking, he’s in the top 20 in terms of drives per game (with a minimum of 60 games played), just behind John Wall, James Harden, Tony Parker, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade. I bring that up because he’s got so many creative and crafty tricks to get to the basket. As Zach Lowe says, he has so many different moves, so it’s fascinating to watch his forays to the rim, and equally as exciting is how he can force up, or finesse shots however he needs to. There's one sequence where he attacks off the catch, gets cut off, goes behind the back to change directions, meets a double, splits the defenders, and then goes into another to hang and hit. And1. McCollum is magical.
If you're looking for more CJ, I've got his separation moves for jumpers here:

Bonus video this week! I was originally going to make a video about CJ's footwork, but then I realized the video ran a little long, so I decided to split it up into his outside game (via jumpers and stepbacks), and his finishing. The link to the other video is in the description.

[@wolfgangbenefield]

[@PaytonLockamy]

a Mason plumlee passing video would be great. very underrated part of his game.

[@Caricaturer]

Would love to see lillard. good vid as always!!

[@Blorbifink]

Kind of reminds me of Goran Dragic when he won Most Improved Player

[@tinofest1989]

his game is kinda similar to Grant Hill on his prime.

[@weizhao8031]

Crafty Guard

[@axel-mkanyinda824]

Paul Millsap - Defensive Dynamo/Lockdown please

[@ah00dii85]

McCollum is crafty AF with the ball very dangerous, if he keeps up the good work he will be a all star player

[@KouMurrell]

his crossover and double cover defense split dribble is really effective. Rooting for Portland.

[@MIAKelz]

could u do lebron James fantastic finisher evein gualberto and hassan Whiteside relentless rebounder

[@Malthaell_]

Anybody know some info on CJ? I'm a tad lazy to look it up. But where did this guy come from? It's like he just showed up in the NBA and started dominating. Where did he even go to college?

[@EvinGualberto]

+angelboy1488 Also, if you watch NCAA basketball, Duke was the number 2 seed that lost to a 15 seed in 2012. Lehigh was that 15 seed, and CJ was the man on that squad.

[@DeathrowDC]

He also likes to read books about Karma Sutra during his down time.

[@miketobeast15]

4 year player at Lehigh played Austin rivers in the first round march madness and I believe they beat duke. Was a good scorer throughout college. Was backup last year for Blazers went off in playoffs last year and now starter

[@antwanbaker55]

Have you checked out Kyle Anderson?

[@MIAKelz]

also do Kevin Durant moves/ stepbacks

[@myathornton7298]

he looking like Kyrie out there 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kingkyrgios]

Was about to say

[@deontaesims8250]

[@charris6679]

You should do pick n roll highlights for PGs and SGs

[@lukebryan6061]

Damin lilard heastion pull ups??

[@kimcheemonsta]

nice vids. keep it up. thanks

[@Real1frbih]

I absolutely love his game

[@asfaha3]

PLEASE make a steve nash scoring video or a steve nash crossover/finishing. You already have his assists but people underrate his scoring

[@EvinGualberto]

+Steph I made sure to have those be one of my early videos. Here are links to the two Nash moves video I made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5ylaWStl9Z0p7s (Hesi & Scoop) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aavXiYuVmbJkpNE (Runners & Reverses)

[@asfaha3]

I love those. any chance of his scoring like his pull-up jumper? he has higher %'s than steph from everywhere but past 22 ft. But hes only off by 1 %

[@AngelRodriguez-jq9yl]

All start by next year .. This dude is tough

[@mohamedegal10]

no way if his own teammate can't make it how can he?

[@younggoose7315]

+Mohamed because this year doesn't dictate next year

[@mohamedegal10]

+Goose McCringleberry true

[@kylebesuna8034]

do one for Rondo please!!!

[@miketobeast15]

Cool channel bro

[@ClingingKestrel]

I miss Mike and Mike :(

[@tylerwilson7883]

These great videos are much appreciated. Have you ever thought of doing pick & roll duo highlights? Say like for Curry/Draymond, Westbrook/Kanter, etc.

[@EvinGualberto]

Actually yes. If you check out my page, there's one of Steph (early Steph) and his pick and roll passing. I had one for Westbrook too (though that one was from last year), but that got taken down. I also have one for Draymond as a screener, but the one I'd really recommend is this one about Steph and Bogut and their chemistry. A lot of pick and rolls, and give and go's are featured.

[@tylerwilson7883]

Sweet, thanks.

[@tylerwilson7883]

Also, just a thought, I think a video about Paul Millsap's defense would be cool. In all the talk about Kawhi and Draymond he gets overlooked, but he is very versatile on the defensive side. He can switch on guards, protect the rim, and is one of the best bigs ever when it comes to steals. I think Zach Lowe even put him as 3rd when he voted for DPOY

[@EvinGualberto]

+Tyler Wilson yes he did. I can tell you that for a fact, plus he's had at least 3 games this series with 4 blocks I think. I am trying to compile on for him, but as with all my defense reels, it'll take longer than offense ones because clips are harder to come by. You'll definitely see one on this page for Millsap though, just as soon as I can get it together

[@tylerwilson7883]

Yeah, I can imagine the defense is much harder to compile. Thanks

[@mcfuckinanotheraccount808]

His balance is unbelievable
