After scoring 24 points to help propel the Portland Trail Blazers to a 104-99 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of their series, C.J. McCollum can finally prove to Jennifer that he can win a playoff game. If you recall, Jennifer was the woman who challenged McCollum on Twitter in 2018 after after he criticized him for not being able to win a playoff game. During his post-game press conference, McCollum was asked if he had any words for Jennifer.

"CJ, do you have anything you'd like to say to Jennifer?"

Jennifer launched herself into legendary status when she pressed McCollum in 2018, after he responded to an unearthed quote in which he criticized players who would join the Golden State Warriors to chase a ring.

Yall got me out here looking like a bitter ex. 1 of the best teams ever assembled W/ 2 players you could argue are top 15 greatest to lace them up. 4 hall of famers w/ another one on the way.
