How Draymond Green, CJ McCollum navigate the double-dipping player-media dynamic

BOSTON — New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum, the new president of the National Basketball Players Association, took in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors.

McCollum is also the newest member of the media fraternity, signing with ESPN as an NBA analyst.

After the Celtics won 116-100 to go up 2-1, McCollum — and new executive director of the NBPA, Tamika Tremaglio — waited in the hallway down the aisle of the locker rooms to allow traffic to die down before departing TD Garden.
