    LMA gave it nine years and played pretty damn hard throughout his tenure, played through injury, endured more disappointment than is probably healthy and finally decided at 30 it was time to leave. That's it, that's all there is to this.

    I don't think there is anything I couldn't say before. Maybe it wasn't as a leader before. Wes was the emotional leader. LA was quite but he would say something from time to time. I would go talk to people one-on-one. Now I'm more comfortable just spitting things out to the group. As far as the game, my role will probably be bigger.

    Being more popular or going overseas for tours hasn't changed me because of who I am. I put the work in and that doesn't change. I stuck with it and still do those things now. A lot of my family is still here with me or visit often. They treat me the same which allows me to grow but not get too big of a head. My mom still tells me to put my glass int he sink when I'm done with it.

    I don't see this as pressure. I have confidence in being the leader of a team. If people want to point the finger at me because we aren't playing well right away, I've had a lot more pressure than that in my life before. It is now my responsibility and I can deal with that and I'm ready to do so.

    Was that media person browsing S2 on his laptop when the camera was going over Dame's family?

    Giving credit to his Adidas agent, his adopted-like sister who helped raise him, his girlfriend and his mom. I remember my mom getting up for work at 4 o'clock in the morning. There is nothing I can do to every pay my mother back. I'm as excited for her as for myself. My uncle has been around the entire time. He would take me to school and always be there. My cousin Kenny is here who I cant give out his nickname. (laughter) It goes to show you how much you pick up from your family. My cousins were all great athletes but ran into something that kept them from going further.

    Dame getting choked up talking about his mom was pretty special.

    Wow. I never knew that Lillard could speak so sentimentally.

    Damian Lillard is a great role model..this guy doesn't flinch and has as much character as I've seen in an exceptional athlete. PR does not need to coach him..he's read enough fortune cookies

    Aminu is very soft-spoken. Davis talks about playing hard every night. Tough to follow Neil and Dame.
