    I don't care what Tony Kornheiser thinks of me but whatever I do or do not become, will not be because I went to weber state. #RespectIt

    Was wondering the same thing. Going to watch PTI on ESPN2 here in a bit. Will let you know if no one else can.

    Concentrate on the Spurs, not Tony Kornholer. Twitter stuff like this shows that Lillard still has things to learn. The team did a great job of keeping silent for the most part (Mo Williams aside) while the Rocket players kept talking about how they were giving away games, were the better team, blah blah blech.

    I generally go out of my way to not watch the opinion based shows on ESPN, so that will be a big help.

    Basically, he isn't a star (yet) because no one knew him coming out of college and that portland is an outpost of the league. If we make the finals, he can become a star. Basically, it was Tony's normal Northeast bias.

    I guess Paul George isn't a star either.

    Dame fell into the old "I don't care about this, but I'm going to post about it" internet fail.

    He might have been asked about it and responded... like the old "Should I know who John Canzano is?"

    This.

    The way porkchopexpress explained Tony's comments above, it just sounds like something we already know: historically, it's harder for players to get recognition playing on a team like Portland. And coming out of a mid-major college.

    As long as he uses it as fuel to beat the Spurs, I couldn't care less.

    +1 I don't see how this is a bad thing at all. I think Paul should pay news outlets to dish on Lillard not being a true all-star and Matthews just being a fungible role player. I would be money you will never hear either of those things said by a Spurs player over the next couple weeks.

    He responded via his Twitter feed? I chalk this one up to Lillard being a young guy. It's actually nice to know he's not perfect yet.

    Yeah, not a big deal to me, either. I was just pointing out that Dame made a common internet mistake.

    I don't care about your sarcasm, but it isn't very sarcastic. I care so little that I'm going to use it to motivate me to post better next series.

    Houston - "overhyped"

    Dame a national star? Wilbon: Not quite. People knew Austin Rivers more than Dame. Called the biggest shot in the history franchise? Korn: Not yet. That is ridiculous. Wilbon: We've seen stars in Portland. If KD is a star in OKC, we can get a star in Portland. Korn: Portland is an OUTPOST. They play their games at 11pm eastern. Other than Bill Walton, they have had no stars. Adidas wants to make him a star. They gotta get to the finals for Dame to be a star. Wilbon: They got those people (malone, LT, CWeb) to be in the ad and he's not a star? Calls out the dick for his northeast bias. Portland is great. Korn: except when it rains, 300 days a year.

    Ok then. Got as much as possible.
