does the thread title ask if he is overated as a player? As a leader? the extent some will go to prove someone else wrong instead of just discuss blows my mind. Overrated could be any or all of those things. Typical though. “your wrong!!! i didnt read the post though.....” Okay i was wrong!!! The op was wrong. What an idiot post. What an idiot question... Except there is another thread going where i see alot of people saying Dame is part of the problem, yet the people in here dont say anything in there.... I should have known that some people cant actually discuss and only comment to look right and make another person look wrong, lol. As Naomi said.. “some things never change.” Lol. Why do i keep thinking this is a discussion forum when really its just a “punk yo ass fool!” Forum?
You knew your post had the potential to result in some of the replies that it has. You were 100% right, this didn't go over well with some.
and? Your poont? I already knew i woild get less than mature respomses? no. I figured it might not og over well by people explaining an opposite viewpoint. Not get called an idiot or a bunch of snark. And how do tou know i iddnt say that because its ME making the post and i know how and why some people reapond to me? again. Dame is getting blamed in another thread but not one person in here saying anything snarky is in there doing the same. Posting the same to anyone else.... i wouldnt expect you to understand though. You've already shown your true colors... Not go well doesnt mean, snark, beliddling or anything else. It just means people may have a different view.
sorry man but you do. You may not know it but you do. An asshole may not be an asshole to everyone so i can see how one may not know they support an asshole. But there are assholes in this forum you support. but we can leave it at that. Not looking to start a list of asshole members or anything, just saying sometimes we provide support to those who may actually do something we dont like but not know it.
I didn't say you're wrong, I dunno where you're pulling that out of. Nowhere was I trying to prove you wrong. Not trying to get one over on you. I answered. The answer is no. Simple. I dont care if it's as a player, a leader, an actor, or a father. No.
That thread would be even more fiery than this one... if they let it stay up... I mean you wouldn't have to call it Asshole List Thread or anything. Maybe just Combative Forum Members. If I'm on the list, I still wouldn't mind seeing your opinions on who these "combative" posters are in your opinion.
No I dont think he's overrated. He's that good as a player. What he is likely overrated at is as a Leader. Not that he isn't a good leader, but not sure he's the best in the league. Leaders lead by example, and Lillard has never really shown he has much interest in defense.
wouldnt defense be part of the player on the court? its a two way game. lets take a look at past mvps and thier defensive stats. Do you think Dame is an mvp caliber player when he doesn't show interest in defense? If he does not show interest in defense, but people are claiming mvp caliber, wouldnt that then be overrating him as a player?
yeah but im not here for drama. Im just trying to discuss Dame as a player and if he is overated or not. I can do without the snark, belittling or anything else people do here. That thread would just be more of that. I just want to discuss Blazers with people who can do so without making it personal. but that seems a near impossibility around here.
I think Dame is rated accordingly... No one claims he's a great defender but He still carry's an entire franchise on his back and people see that. He hasn't had another All-Star on the squad since LA and still makes the playoffs every year. He always has ups and downs through out the season and generally falls in and out of the MVP conversation too. I know people are freaking out because Portland has played like crap against good teams but Portland is still in the 6th spot and that's primarily because of Dame. Now, is he loyal to a fault? maybe... But that's probably the only reason he's still in Portland.
Yes but the question is how he’s rated- over or under or properly rated. I think he’s rated properly. Nobody rates him high as a defender. Nobody has him in the Lebron category, etc. As for MVP I have never considered him a legitimate MVP candidate but for those who have, not every MVP is elite defensively. Like Bird.
Here's the fact: He's not The questions are not warranting of responses because of the fact. Move on.
Dame knows he has the respect upstairs, he’s earned it for sure. I dont think he’s the type to try and force any charges as some players have. I do think and its just my gut feeling that both ownership and management would reach out to Dame on certain major issues, not all but I think they value is take, as mutual respect. That's part of the whole loyalty thing it often is reciprocal.
