I grew up in Massillon, OH and Canton is our rival neighbors to the East about 9 minutes. CJ was year younger than me and when I say remember him lighting our hoop team up at 5'2 it blew my mind! Love seeing the NE Ohio homie blow up!
Wow.. the first 15 minutes.. that is fucking inspiring the amount of dedication and work he put in as a KID, I never knew that about him.. I love to hear it, amazing 😳
Dude was 10yo waking up at 6am to perfect his craft. Crazy. Meanwhile, I was out here waking up at 6am to watch cartoons; perfecting my Kraft Dinner skills. 😂
All young players need to watch this interview... CJ preaching confidence and why he's so confident is because the hard work he put in b4 hand and then life after sports
Yall boyz cold D&Q! I'm from Canton,OH The City of Fame!! I'm barely older than C.J. and his brother Eric. Most of us know and account for this story. Yall did y'all research. For y'all to kick it off wit his brother. I was n college when he got that start. I saw all dem damn 3's he hit (against my high school alma mater) I knew he was a special dude but he was short... Im glad he grew. We behind him 330 aint jus Akron iss some boyz here. Hall of Fame bred
Q&D Knucklheads is the best basketball podcast I've found. PJ is great as always but Quentin and Darius are real. Most of these podcasters use the guest as a jumping off point to talk about their own careers and relive their own greatest hits. but these guys keep the conversation focussed on the guest and are so prepared. Will continue to watch.
I love CJ so much. So underrated in Portland. Just an amazing person and player. I’m really going to miss him. I’m happy for him, and I’m excited for what’s to come. I hope he will make it to the all-star game and play alongside Dame again. The Pel’s my number 2 team now.
You can tell how close him and Dame are they were around each other’s so much they start to sound similar. Both are so humble, confident and low key and wants the best for everyone I love it.🔥
It's wild to me how much of a baller CJ is and he's never been a all star. He's a great dude, humble, real and true to himself definitely one of the most quality men in the league. I'm rooting for his success, I'm a Heat fan but he's one of my favorite players in the league
Great interview as always. Can’t wait to try CJ’s wine. Can you guys increase the volume when you edit these videos so we can hear a little better or ask them to speak closer to the mic?
I’m a northwest boy. Played Ju-Co back in the day, didn’t have the work ethic or athleticism, (or didn’t work on my body with polymetrics and proper nutrition). But, went to my first Blazers game back in ‘09 and fell in love with the atmosphere. Big fan of CJ. Hate that it didn’t work out with Portland but I want to see you shine in NO.
@@timjenkins1354 I agree! I believe that everything the organization is doing with Zion, will help him in the long run. This will be the best team we’ve seen since CP3, David West, and Tyson Chandler!
This king is a thoughtful and intelligent old soul. In life you have to speak it to existence and that's exactly what this king did. No disrespectful at all but his game reminds me of a shorter B grade B.Roy( B.Roy was about 5× times better) but the in-and-out crossover midrange between the legs crossover and all the 1-2 dribble pull-ups...B.Roy was a head of his time and way more consistent... consistency and defense are the only knocks with CJ, especially in the playoffs....
Wow! Shoutout to CJ man I didn’t even know he was from Ohio! I went to Northland in Columbus with Jared and Trey.. Basketball games were nuts back then! #NorthlandNation
How da fuck yall ain't talk about one of the greatest college upsets ever. I always root against Duke an CJ going nuclear 2 send them home in the 1st round is one of my favorite NCAA moments ever. Lol
Crazy cj and Eric grew up 3 house down the street from me I always thought his brother was the one cuz CJ was so short but it's so amazing too me that they both are successful

I love genuine people CJ seems like a genuine dude just like The Two Hosts
This guy is a class act man and he know what he's doing
CJ off court game as smooth as his on court game. Guy is all class. Great pod.
He definitely is!!!!
Him & Dame was a good duo! McCollum is a humble guy.
The word is "commitment" Q... I'm with you dawg
Combo Gaurds always been a bucket 💯🔥
You can’t help but root for a guy like him, previous q&a’s and this one confirms CJ a “COOL” dude… 👏🏾👏🏾
The intro transitions when yall are thanking the guest for showing up, prior to the Hennessy ad flows so well. Damn good editing and execution!
CJ said he was swinging first 🤣
CJ's story is an inspiration for those who don't think its possible to succeed.
One of the coldest hoopers in the game real talk… all my respect to CJ such a good story for young kids to look up to 🔥🏆
P

"Sharpen your blade everyday..." words to live by
CJ My favorite baller. Interesting off and on the court.
D Miles positive vibes your way Bro!
CJ is a Sharp guy, and will add value to the players association.
So glad this guy is in my hometown now and making our organization better 👌🏾 Best Wishes 🙏🏾

Word!
Words of affirmation!!!
CJ, BI, and Zion....who you doubling? Good luck and God be with you. Just wait on it.. 😈
All facts
Forever a CJ fan even after he got trade from the blazers. This is such an amazing interview!!
CJ Is Such A Cold Hooper And One Cool Ass Dude…I Really Appreciate, His Confidence, Energy, Humor & Intellect…Great Interview
CJ is a legend. Real underdog story. I hope we get to see him play with Zion. 💪💪
Never had an Issue with Church but didn’t really rock with him. Glad to get a chance to hear this, good guy.
I fell out @"u-turn in the sky" LMAO

he’s gonna be one of those guys that players talk about that most people don’t know about when they retire
Lehigh University Class of 2013 built different. S/o to my classmate CJ for absolutely crushing it #brownandwhite
You had such a great brother. You are still spreading the love. Keep it going.
23:02 “I gotta get to the league and y’all done cost me 2 games of film” Lmao he seem like a funny ass dude in person
Great interview as always. Can’t wait to try CJ’s wine. Can you guys increase the volume when you edit these videos so we can hear a little better or ask them to speak closer to the mic?

Q and D , my guys ! you never fail to make epic content , now i just need me some of that knuckleheads merch to come to UK - Especially dem hats
CJ is niiice.
Super dope dude, wish him well.🏆🙏
The baby momma benz lmfao ☠️🤣😂
It’s gonna be a run next year when the Pelicans can get an off-season and full practices with C.J. , B.I. and Zion all on the floor together.
I agree if Zion can stay healthy an stay in shape. B.I. an CJ gone show up. It’s up to Zion
@@timjenkins1354 I agree! I believe that everything the organization is doing with Zion, will help him in the long run. This will be the best team we’ve seen since CP3, David West, and Tyson Chandler!
This just in. Them boys ain't waiting till next year. They got Suns right where they want em.
@@chaguanas even if that’s the case, they still won’t be contending this year. Be patient and ride this one out until next year.
CJ is nasty with it I don't think he got to shine as much playing alongside Lliard but dude is legit.
One of my favorite interviews from yall! Was refreshing to hear from someone not trying to focus on how hard their childhood was living in the ghetto.
Man, i wish I could've watched this before high school. Would've truly lit a fire and let me know how hard you actually had to work
I was 5ft6 in my freshman year, now I'm 6ft2 and done growing. This man had the greatest growth spurt that I've seen since Scottie Pippen.
Best interview on here so far this year 🗣👏🏿
DOPE interview
great interview, questions were fantastic
