CJ McCollum joins NBA on Prime crew, discusses role on Hawks, Damian Lillard’s comeback

CJ McCollum hit the game-winning shot in the Atlanta Hawks’ Game 3 victory over the New York Knicks in the first round of last year’s playoffs.

Not only does he remember that shot, but he remembers enjoying being a guest on Prime Video’s “NBA Nightcap” postgame show where he appeared in his pajamas and the hosts joked he put the Knicks “to sleep.” They all laughed about his role of villain as his son popped in to say hello.

The party doesn’t have to stop there as NBA on Prime announced on Thursday, Nov. 12 that the 14-year veteran guard will be a player commentator for several programs this season starting with “NBA Nightcap” on Friday, Nov. 13.

“The conversation and team analysis that night was really fun,” he told USA TODAY Sports of the postgame memories, “and I thought the chemistry was there, and I felt like it made a lot of sense (for me to join the Prime team). And I have a great appreciation for what NBA on Prime is doing, what the crew is doing, and how they educate and share authentic analysis.”
