    Just listening to the players talk about Dame and then watching the interview with him I got chills. Its hard not to have GIGANTIC expectations for him especially when you hear him say stuff like "I was more excited to play against everyone here then anything else".

    Dame in 2016!

    He's gotta be as qualified as any Dem or Repub, right?

    Dame looks like a commando or a South American bodyguard in this picture. Don't mess with the Dame.

    Is that John Calipari in front of him? In that case, does that make him a drug kingpin?

    7 PGs. No shame in being cut.

    I don't think they'll cut him until maybe the last cut. I think he has the perfect game to play with the national team.

    I think that if they cut him in a years time they will sorely regret it.

    I liked how John Wall, #1 pick from the 2010 draft, referred to him as a role model. You can see him kind of catch himself after he said that. Damian tricks guys into thinking he's a 10 year vet.

    Bad news. The 3 best defenders of those 7 will probably be the ones who make the team.

    I think he'll make it. He plays a lot like Steph and there is no way they can rely on his ankles. In the international game, I like Dame better than Wall/Rondo. But I like Kyrie more than both.

    It's funny, Dame is actually 2 months older than Wall.

    Good. More motivation for Dame to get better and he has certainly proved that motivation drives him.

    Speaking of defense, this is cool.

    I even mentioned that I would trade Aldridge for boozer and tibs straight up. That's how much of a coach I think if tibs.

    It's nice to see someone working the 1950's 10w/30 comb over.
