I think one positive for Dame, when comparing to Kobe, Kobe had a *lot* more miles on his body. Besides starting fresh out of high school, Kobe had 7 trips to the finals which adds an extra 140 games in addition to the other playoff runs he did. Kobe had a lot more miles than Dame does. Doesn't mean Dame is coming back just as good, but they're not unequal comparisons in that regard.
It's also how you play. KD's greatness is about being so smooth and long. He's a good athlete but never rose up on his J like Dame or relied on quickness to free himself for good looks. He just had to get into his shooting motion and extend knowing no one could contest his shot. STOMP
Kobe had a lot of other injuries post Achilles and seems like he rushed back far too quick. Certainly devastating injury to Dame and questionable how effective he ever will be. But also can't 100% write him off either.
heres something I've never heard you say despite ample opportunity, oops my bad. I got that wrong Again, you get so many things wrong, it's expected STOMP
You really seem obsessed with how often I'm right or wrong, and just my posts in general. Thanks. I really could care less. I'm wrong a thousand times a day.
Dude, I never answer your random posts because of how often you are off... which is fine, you do you. I only answer your posts when quote me... & I'm obsessed with you! STOMP
It's weird that you repeatedly post about ME and not my posts. I call out tons of stupid or incorrect posts all the time and others do to me. But those are on the subject matter - not some bizarre fascination with the actual poster.
So they still physically sign all NBA deals? I guess I had assumed they were adobe sign or such. Anybody ever see a Blazer contract as memorabilia? I saw that pawn stars show where they had one of 4 signed copies of a Wayne Gretzky deal worth a decent amount.
Monday at 6pm the Blazers will hold a press conference with Damian Lillard, Joe Cronin and Chauncey Billups. https://bsky.app/profile/highkin.bsky.social/post/3lue2zioxud2q
Saw interview with Steve Smith. Unequivocally in favor of Dame returning. Nothing but good things to say about Blazers and Portland.
I'd assume Jrue left town or they want his conference to stand alone. Probably right to split them up otherwise nobody will pay attention to Jrue.
Or now that they have Dame maybe there were previous offers on the table they are considering. Most likely not but possible.
