Is Dame another Kobe / CP3 type of "leader"

[dviss1]

I love Dame and I use to think that but that last 3 months and def into the playoffs really made me back off that type of statement..

He was terrible from Feb-playoffs

Remember Kobe in the finals vs Detroit?

Man, cut that drunk shit out. You wanna talk about players not giving it back to the fans and then perpetuate some made up bs?

you do understand the difference between perpetuate and make fun of, right?

No one actually believes it. It's said to mock the original rumor, and poke fun at the hilarity of someone pulling a mixum.

Lillard really scared the shit out of me the way he was playing the last few months of the season.

Till this day I was pretty certain that made Lma really question Lillard's ability which led him to bail on us. Slump is one thing and it happens to everybody but man he was pretty consistently bad that last few months.

Hopefully it was nothing and he's fine

I read somewhere that Lillard shot 41% from 3 before the hand splints, and 32% afterwards. Given how big the three point shot means to his game, doesn't really surprise me that he struggled more.

Naw he actually was still doing his thing after the hand thing for a good month and half after that.

Look at his game log. Injury happened on 12/4 against the Pacers. Was shooting 43% in November, 36% in December, and 28% in January.

So no, he wasn't "doing is thing" for a good month and a half after that.

I don't listen to Portland sports talk radio, but today I tuned into Canzano to hear the reaction from the weekend news. He brought up something that I don't think I've read or heard mentioned before, questioning why never hear from Lillard's teammates that he's a great teammate? I'm not sure if that's entirely accurate, but nothing is coming to mind refuting it either. I'm sure they're out there, but it made me pause.

Batum just tweeted about being with his brother Lillard in Paris just last week

Am I the only one who feels like Canzano and now Parker go out of their way to take shots directly at the franchise AND the fans? Does this happen in other markets?!? Are these two delusional enough to believe that LaMarcus is their friend and they need to defend him?

dame will probably go on steph curry mode. i think this will end up being the 2011-12 GSW, but will probably get the 2nd pick (we don't need another oden or bowie)

He's gonna be better! Would CP3 or Lobe do this?!?!

Holy crap this is awesome. THIS IS the dedication and persistence of a CHAMPION!!!!

 

[lordninja11]

Nah but he getting paid like them though

Looks like he's wearing the PDX Carpet shoes too. Rip City is blessed!

 

[magnifier661]

He's either cheap as fuck or very humble. What do you think?

The guy is embracing and exceeding expectations as a people's player, a community star. The things he is doing is nothing short of super stardom within the everyday commoner. And I'm talking everything outside of the 48 minutes. Showing up at Summer league, greeting the new guys at dinner. It goes on and on. Dame is proving himself to be a truly consummate hero.

 

[ripcityboy]

Dame is Dame. It's that simple.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

"Dame is just this guy, y'know?"

 

[rasheedfan2005]

When rasheed was asks about why he gave up on coaching he talked about guys having too much ego. Dame is a rare breed that sets ego aside and displays true humility. Paul Allen's best nba decision was giving dame the keys to his team and locking him in Long term.

Remember shadow constantly complaining people weren't cheering his name? The lack of dames attitude is why. This young man IS going to be the greatest blazer of all time.
