True leader.

 

[ripcityboy]

Awesome story. You know. I'm sure if you asked Dame he'd say he feels lucky to be the Trail Blazer.... But I'm pretty sure that it's the Blazers are lucky to have him.

Story breaks about football player criticizing NBA guys for charging for camps......

And then this comes out? Hmmmmmmm

 

[Eastoff]

Either way, if true that's very kind

Yeah. I know. It's smacks of P.R. and I'm a cynical as anybody. But where Dame us concerned I chose not too.

(Ohhh yeah. The cynicism remark.... I forgot about Tunchi. No contest there.)

 

[Cippy91]

TUNCHI WHERE YOU AT?!?!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Love hearing stuff like this. Damian is a good dude.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Damian was probably drinking like a fish at the time, because he either didn't have room at the camp or he did. If he did have room at the camp, why did he lie to the mom in the first place? And if he didn't, isn't it a safety concern to have an overpacked basketball camp? He doesn't care about children's safety!1!!

And the second-largest contract in NBA history just kicked in for him! Why's he charging poor kids $325? Must want to gentrify his camp.

Jon, thank you for sharing. It is little things like that which have an incredible impact on children going forward and certainly makes them a fan for life.

First world problem at it's finest.

Dame seems like a real nice man.

 

[BonesJones]

That's a great story

 

[Strenuus]

That's a great story

........

Im still convinced Tunchi is on milk cartons!!!

 

[Tunchi]

TUNCHI WHERE YOU AT?!?!

I'm right here. That's a fantastic story. It just reassures what I always say on how he's by far one of the best leaders in the NBA up there with Lebron. Hands down.

All I ask from him is work on his efficiency. Literally that's all I ask..

Waiting for the mother, who obviously had the money and could afford to send her son, to donate the fee Lillard covered for a needy child at next year's camp.

How exactly do you work on efficiency?

 

[Tunchi]

How exactly do you work on efficiency?

Stop chucking those contested 3s with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. Shoot a little bit less but instead convert assists that produce high percentage attempts. That alone will help greatly

In not sure if taking away his aggressiveness/killer mindset is a good thing.

Sounds like it was an issue of time in relation to lack of funds than just lack of funds.

But sure, fox news it.

Great story. Can bring a tear to the eye.

Who says he hasn't been trying to do that al along and wont continue? Do you make the correct/best decision 100% of the time at work?

Sometimes you have to learn to take the good with the bad, especially when the good is a hell of alot better than the bad. I understand you, and I don't disagree. I think I'm just ab it more realistic. Dame isn't going to shoot 100% 100% of the time!
Sometimes for shooters to get into the groove, they have to keep shooting. Its pretty much a known fact around the league. He will have more weapons around him this year to feel more confident to dish it off. He will also find himself open more often on the 3pt line when Turner is driving to the hole and then kicking back out.
Dame will be fine. Blazers will be fine. Cant wait for this next season already!
