Excellent honor for a fine young man. I've really enjoyed watching him play out here for the Blazers, but he is also such a fine person off the court. The Blazer community has embraced both him and Lillard out here. Someone truly Lehigh University and the Patriot League can be proud of.

Yes, CJ is the "complete package". He got choked up during the ceremony. He was "all in" at Lehigh. Wasn't just a jock but was very engaged in his academics as one of the editors of the school paper, involved in the south Bethlehem community. So for him to see what he meant to, not only Lehigh, but the Valley as a whole must have been very warm.

Thanks for the post and link. I saw where CJ lit it up the next night in Cleveland.
