Before the bright lights of the NBA, before the clutch shots and sharp takes on TV, CJ McCollum was just a skinny kid with a big dream and a relentless work ethic. Beyond the Arc traces his path from a little-known college at Lehigh to becoming one of the most respected shooting guards in the league and a powerful voice off the court.
This book is more than a highlight reel. It's about grit. About betting on yourself when no one else does. About a journalism major who turned postgame interviews into podcast episodes, and who built a brand as thoughtful as his midrange jumper is smooth. From leading Lehigh to a historic NCAA upset, to making noise in Portland and New Orleans, CJ's story is one of staying true to who you are while evolving into something bigger.
Packed with behind-the-scenes stories, personal reflections, and the pivotal moments that shaped his journey, Beyond the Arc shows what it really takes to make it from overlooked to undeniable.
