Life is not satisfactory! I want things that I often can't get, and the life I want to live can't be realized, I would have set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch.
Holding back? Scored 20+ for 7 consecutive years, did not enter the All-Star, wanted to be a city with a discipline than the end, but was replaced by the whole league
How would you describe him? He has strength, but low-key and not ostentatious, he has the strength to be the boss, but has always lived in the shadow of the boss, he is loved by the fans, but he is not recognized by the league, he is considered the most underrated star in the NBA, he is McCollum.
How good McCollum is, take a look at the data below.
One, score
For seven consecutive seasons, he averaged 20+ points per game in the regular season, shooting more than 42% in each season. For six consecutive seasons, he averaged 20+ points per game in the playoffs, shooting more than 40% in each season.

McCollum is not only very strong, but also very stable, and the state has never been up and down. But this is McCollum, looking at his record of winning awards in the NBA.
Not selected as an All-Star, not even selected for a second team, only one fastest improvement award. Last season was McCollum's closest to the All-Star, Harden left the Nets, Westbrook defected to the Wizards, Thompson fell injured, McCollum ushered in a great opportunity, averaging 26.7 points and 5 assists per game before injury, steady All-Star stats, the result was injured, luck.
After so many years of stable and excellent form, why can't McCollum get into the All-Star? The reason may be this,
First of all, the Blazers have not been able to achieve results in these years, the record has never broken through, and the only trip to the Western Conference Finals has been shaved by the Warriors. McCollum naturally rises and falls low.
Secondly, the Blazers are not only a small ball city, but also in the Great Northwest, the exposure is too low, the only exposure, but also in Lillard alone, McCollum is naturally forgotten.
In the end, in these years of Western Conference, the defensive line competition is too fierce, taking a Harden, injuring a Thompson, but Paul, Lillard, Curry are still old and strong, Doncic, Booker, Mitchell and other young people have come to power, McCollum is too difficult to sandwich in the middle.
Not being able to get into an All-Star in 2021 makes McCollum uncomfortable, and what makes McCollum even more uncomfortable in 2021 is that
McCollum has said before that he wants to end up as a trail blazer and doesn't want to go to other teams, but now he has been changed all over the league, one will be for Simmons, one will be for Harris, one will be Siakam, and one will be Ingram. Change the rhythm of the whole league.
For McCollum, 2021 is indeed a year of bad luck, the closest season to the All-Star, unfortunately injured, most want to stay in the Blazers, unfortunately can not help themselves, 2021 is about to end, was checked out pneumothorax injury, indefinite suspension.
Who has him unlucky this year! Injured and missed the All-Star, he was replaced all over the league and suspended indefinitely at the end of the year
Fans and friends, to evaluate McCollum in one sentence, what do you most want to say? Leave me a message to discuss.
