Portland Trail Blazer, Other NBA Stars Question Trump's 'Locker Room Talk'

CJ McCollum says he's never heard anything like Trump's talk in a locker room.

A group of people who spend a lot of time in locker rooms have taken to Twitter to take issue with language that Donald Trump has written off as "locker room" talk: NBA stars.

After tape surfaced last week of Trump making vulgar comments about women, including how he could get away with sexual assault because he is a star, he dismissed the comments as "locker room" banter.

Jamal Crawford, who is getting ready for his 17th season in the NBA — a career that has seen stops with the Clippers, Trail Blazers and the Knicks — took to Twitter to question whether those comments were really as commonplace as Trump implied.
