Respect

I'm happy about that. Rio is going to be a disaster and his foot does need to heal.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Dammit. I was so looking forward to that team usa lillard jersey.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Great move for him imo! Bad move for us who wanted his Olympic Jersey though.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I also won't be playing in the Olympics.

Hip hip HOORAY! Hip hip HOORAY! Hip hip HOORAY!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Finally some good news.

I agree.

 

[Strenuus]

I'm okay with this.

STFU DWIGHT! DON'T GIVE ANYBODY ANY IDEAS! MMMMMmmmmmmnnnnturtle...

 

[illmatic99]

Too bad.

I feel like hanging around KD et al would have helped him improve and take another leap in his game.

This was likely his best chance to make a team with every other guard opting out.

 

[selloutking]

I hope he gets the offer, and then turns it down

But we can still pencil you in for the puppy bowl, right?

 

[Natebishop3]

It sucks because I wanted to see him play in the Olympics..... but this is for the best. I want him healthy for next season, and I think this Olympics will be a mess.

I also won't be playing in the Olympics.

I've heard Pawser Fasciitis can be painful.

I'd hoped it would have helped him recruit. But that's the only reason I'd want him to play. I'm glad he'll be resting and getting healthy for the Blazers season.

Plantar fasciitis isnt that bad. Its all about pain tolerance. I dont have the medical resources dame does, and ive had it a couple times when i used to run cross country and 5k's throughout my adult life.

It would usually only take like a month to heal with off the shelf stuff and professionally made orthotics.

 

[Tunchi]

So did he want more time or he wanted rest?

I love that he opted out for the rest but why mention that you wanted more time and now it makes it look like your crying Bc you didn't get an extension on the decision?

Going back to the team use beef, social media rant on being snubbed with the all star game, I don't want this dude to get a rep nationally on whining if things don't go his way

 

[maxiep]

Good.

In his case, it's probably more like humper fasciitis.

When it comes to media attention and accolades, Lillard is feast or famine. Either he's getting recognition and happy, or getting snubbed and pouting.

Am I the only one who's disappointed? He was gonna play like 15 mpg as is. Would have been a great experience and great exposure.

Especially after he made a fuss about getting snubbed earlier.
