    Wilson is perceived by many to be contrived, artificial, "fake"--even moreso after his "we got a deal" video.

    Lillard is generally understood to be one of the most "real" athletes out there. No artifice there at all.

    For that reason, I think Lillard's star shines brighter.

    I’m not a Seahawks fan at all, and Wilson has always come off as fake to me. Dame 100%.

    I’m capable of liking a player on a team that I don’t like. I’m not the first person to call him fake either. It’s a pretty popular opinion.

    After the last presidential election I realized that Portland is inside of a bubble...whether that's good or bad, it's not for me to say, but I do know Damian Lillard is inside that bubble.

    Wilson.
    The NFL has a larger audience/fan base compared to the NBA.
    The Seahawks TV ratings here in Portland are huge, much higher than a Blazer game.

    Lillard is the bigger star.

    He has his own shoe line.

    Imagine Russell Wilson vs Lillard walking down the street in NY. Dame will be mobbed. Russell will be taking pictures of fans with his wife.

    That would be the case if they walked down the street in Paris. In NFL driven USA hell no.

    Damon will get his max deal soon. Wilson can only dream of the type of money Dame will make in his career.

    Nah, if it were Tom Brady then maybe, but the casual fan would be whatever about Russell Wilson.

    If Both Russ and Dame walked the streets of Seattle and Portland, which one will get more recognized in the city where they don't play ball?
    Will Dame be more recognized in Seattle than Wilson in Portland?
    What if both walked in Eugene/Corvallis?
