"If you were to pick a player that would help you win a championship, who would you pick?" Damian Lillard just got traded to the Bucks where he's now teammates with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Dame literally spoke it into existence.

[@gamechanger114]

It's probably only an issue for people with low self-esteem. Dame isn't my favorite Blazer of all-time but at the same time everything he said is valid imo. These fans just need to stop complaining when players give there honest genuine opinion on the topics "they are asked".

[@Tethloach1]

It is a thin line to walk, and there is nothing wrong with being a bit cocky. You shouldn't feel bad for winning.

The cool thing about Dame is you get the feeling that all the money and fame hasn't changed him... he would be this same individual looking to take care of his people and make a positive impact no matter how his life turned out. Can't say it enough but he is bigger than just an NBA player or rapper. GO BLAZERS!!!

@@no12578 What’s Giannis ever done without all stars next to him? He’s also highly overrated on defense, the game against the Lakers when AD & Lebron were going off this dude was guarding Austin Reeves lmao.
