Wilson vs Lillard: whose star shines brightest in the PNW?

[Cugel]

Its Wilson by a mile, but a lot of that is his wife is an attention whore. but who cares about the nfl. I could never go to a game with all the silly facepainting and outfits of the douchbag fans

 

[BlazerWookee]

Fuck Seattle.

 

[kjironman1]

Fuck Seattle.

Well Yeah of course. Fuck Seattle!

After the last presidential election I realized that Portland is inside of a bubble...whether that's good or bad, it's not for me to say, but I do know Damian Lillard is inside that bubble.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Wilson.
The NFL has a larger audience/fan base compared to the NBA.
The Seahawks TV ratings here in Portland are huge, much higher than a Blazer game.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Lillard is the bigger star.

He has his own shoe line.

Imagine Russell Wilson vs Lillard walking down the street in NY. Dame will be mobbed. Russell will be taking pictures of fans with his wife.

That would be the case if they walked down the street in Paris. In NFL driven USA hell no.

 

[joeBlazers]

Damon will get his max deal soon. Wilson can only dream of the type of money Dame will make in his career.

Nah, if it were Tom Brady then maybe, but the casual fan would be whatever about Russell Wilson.

 

[joeBlazers]

If Both Russ and Dame walked the streets of Seattle and Portland, which one will get more recognized in the city where they don't play ball?
Will Dame be more recognized in Seattle than Wilson in Portland?
What if both walked in Eugene/Corvallis?

Russ will get more recognized in portland because people from Seattle are fucking idiots.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Football players are generally less recognizable since they wear masks during the games.

Also, most seahawk fans are bandwagon.

 

[joeBlazers]

I'm talking about opposite cities. Will more people in Seattle know who Dame is than people in Portland know who Wilson is? I understand the number of people living in each city is vastly different.

Lillard is more recognizable. He has more endorsements, so he has posters in sports stores. State farm, hulu, adidas, biofreeze

I couldnt even begin to tell you what Russell Wilson endorses.

[joeBlazers]

Since Seattle doesn't have a team anymore ... (thanks for Starbucks)
Is Dame the biggest Basket ball player ever in the PNW? Bigger than the Detlef, Kemp (the rain man), Payton, Nate, ...

Drexler still is more iconic and in the HOF) but Lillard is in his early prime and should be when its all said and done.

Ciara

damn, I would trade it all

 

[kjironman1]

I'm thinking Wilson isn't as popular because he can't rap and can't get a shoe deal because he's always stuck in traffic.

And did i forget to say Seattle Sucks?

 

[BlayZa]

WTF is a seahorse?
