    Definitely well deserved. He's a terrific leader on and off the court. Congrats, Dame!

    Yes, I am a small market homer, but I'm pretty proud of our dudes, now and then:
    92-93: Terry Porter
    95-96: Chris Dudley
    98-99: Brian Grant
    18-19: Damian Lillard

    That's what makes Lillard so special. He's great on the court and off the court. Blazers are fortunate to have such a class act.

    There are a bunch of really great community oriented players in the league today. I'm proud to support them and am thrilled that Lillard is getting the recognition he greatly deserves. The NBA as a whole is filled with more high character players than I've seen in the past 25 years. There are many on the Blazers who are positive, generous community members.
