Exclusive The Player's Tribune: Loyalty Over Everything by Damian Lillard

^ To be fair, though, someone as loyal as Dame would likely say the same about whatever team/city drafted and embraced him.

I feel like we fit his personality to a tee, though.

And one more thing I never heard no one talking about. I believe he will be great Blazers head coach after he get those rings.

I ran into an old friend today who knew me back when I was allowed to bring the Blazers cakes at games. He asked if I'd make Dame a cake if it were allowed. I told him I'd make a whole damn holiday dinner.

I feel like we fit his personality to a tee, though.

Perhaps, but he's equally loyal to Ogden and Oakland, and beyond the O-connection, I'm not sure the three could be any different. I think he would be 100% loyal to whoever drafted him.

Have to confess I was a tad unkind to my friend. When he asked if I was going to go see the Warriors in their new arena, I asked him why I should schlep to San Francisco to see the worst team in the NBA,?
