McCollum told Fournier: 'You're sweet and soft like those crepes you eat'
C.J. McCollum sure knows how to hit 'em where it hurts.
The Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard got into a little skirmish with Orlando Magic small forward Evan Fournier on Wednesday after being pushed in the back by him. They had to be separated, and McCollum blew kisses to the Frenchman as he backed away.

McCollum offered his side of the story.
"I just felt like he disrespected me by putting his hands on me," he said on the "Flagrant Two Podcast."
"Obviously, I'm not trying to get any fines or anything of that nature and I told him he was sweet. He's French, and I said that, 'you're sweet and soft like those crepes you eat.'"
McCollum won the spat and the battle as the Blazers claimed the 99-94 victory.
Savage, or as the French say, sauvage.
