For the players of the NBA, the real all-stars in their lives are their wives and girlfriends, the ones who stand by their side and support them through thick and thin. Despite the amusing height differences between some of these couples, their love seems to be stronger than any physical distance, and they’re here to show that nothing can come in the way of true love, not even 50 inches.
CJ McCollum and Elise Esposito
Two life-changing things happened to basketball player CJ McCollum during his time in Lehigh University: his accomplishments as the Lehigh guard secured him the 10th overall pick at the 2013 NBA draft, promoting his career to the big league, but more importantly – that’s where he met his new fiancee Elise Esposito.
At the time when McCollum was a guard at Lehigh University, Esposito was studying towards a double major in Behavioral Neuroscience/Pre-medicine. The couple has been dating since 2013, and exactly one year ago, in February 2019, he finally popped the question, and Esposito said yes, making the NBA player the happiest man alive.
