I would just like to point out that our team is awesome

I was reading a thread on Reddit about Robin Lopez.

A girl asked him to come to her graduation so Robin's mother sent per a package and a hand-written note.

Also, someone else commented this:

This with that comment by Dame earlier in an interview with Casey...

This team is awesome.

 

Hear hear! I love our team! I hope people can sit back and enjoy it.

 

Would rather have Lillard than lebron. Am content not winning if I get to watch this team every night...that said, I would love Larry to come to pdx next year!

 

That's pretty cool stuff man. Sure beats when we had players flipping us off and shooting at civilians

 

Just seems like way more than is necessary. I think most teams would send some typed response thanking the fan for the letter or some such nonsense.

 

Dame, Stotts and Lopez just get it. They know the fan base truly treats the team like its part of them. Sometimes we can be really annoying like a parent embarrasses their children, but it's all for good intentions.

Didn't Lillard do another thing cool with a fan because he forgot to acknowledge him?

 

Yeah he sought him out to give him an autograph iirc.

Oh shit he flashed a gang sign!!! Trade him for late second rounders and cap space!

 

Yeah, it's a lot better than Bonzi spraying his spittle on a fan.

 

haha "The worst thing that happens is someone will bump into me and say 'oh, that's Damian Lillard!"

What an ego maniac. :MARIS61: hahaha. That's cool.

 

I'll never forget the time I witnessed Rasheed Wallace make a little 8 year old boy cry the day after Christmas at Toys R Us over by Washington square.

The little boy was a big fan and approached Sheed asking for his autograph. Sheed told the kid to get lost because he was busy shopping.

I was young myself at the time but still remember thinking "wow what a terrible way to be".

 

Yeah sheed was kinda a douche. Still loved his game!

 

I have this chart... was it the Okey Dokey Artichokey?

 

Lmao!

 

The picture shows a July 10 date. So a month after the girl graduated and probably 2 months after she wrote him the letter, Robin's mother, his secretary, looked through his unopened mail and caught up his correspondence. The mother's experienced with 2 NBA sons, so she knew 2 tricks to protect their reputations when answering minor girls: Wait till it's too late to attend, and don't have the player write the virus-able letter by saying he's out of town.

But it gives you worshippers something to drool about, so I won't ruin your fun.

 

Now I notice the new letter says the original letter was from the father, not the girl. So the father used the girl to try for a meeting with Robin. Robin's mother saw through that.

 

I sure hope nice guys don't really finish last.
