It wouldn’t be a Portland-based television show without a Trail Blazer player appearing at some point, right?

“Portlandia” used Blazers during its run on IFC and CJ McCollum became the first Trail Blazer to appear on ABC’s “Stumptown” this week.

McCollum played himself in the role and was shown eating a taco at a fictional bar in Portland. The shot, like most of the series, was actually filmed in Los Angeles. The toughest parts of the filming were the multiple takes of him chowing down on the food, which he liked – both in the script and in reality.

He said he got everything right on the first take – no surprise, he’s a clutch player – but the scene needed to be shot from different angles, so it got a little more difficult to gobble it down later.
