    Warning: do not talk to people outside the Dame Dolla Cult! They are heretics!! Dame Dolla can do no wrong, he is perfect in every way! His defense is amazing, he always holds his teammates accountable and he has a better work ethic than Kobe and MJ (when he’s not rapping, clubbing, or attending Democrat fundraisers).

    Yeah...the more I think of this, I still think that quote isn’t a positive.

    I can’t imagine how delusional you have to be to spin this into a “positive.” He is threatening to leave the team if he doesn’t get what he wants. First he is looking for sympathy from other players to tell him to “do you” etc. he’s pulling a Kevin Durant. This is obvious to everyone who isn’t in the Dame Dolla cult.

    Didn't he rip Austin Rivers then go down and hit one of his game tying insane 3s in game 5? Also someone noted in that same game he had the potential for 27 assists but no one could hit anything. Don't know if you actually watched the games or if you're just trolling but anyone trying to blame Lillard is just simply wrong. I'm not saying he's perfect but the expections put on him from some in this fan base are insanely unrealistic.

    He claims to be an MVP candidate, yet nobody will judge him as an MVP candidate. You act like he’s some top 20 player and not someone we blew out our salary cap for decades for. He makes far more money than Jokic but overall was outplayed by him.

    he’s not kobe. He’s not MJ. He’s not even steph. He’s not Durant. Hell, he’s arguably not even Kyrie. He’s a great player who likely will never even make it to the finals as a #1 option because overall his playmaking is not elite and his defense is Steve Nash bad.

    Every person you listed played with Hall of Fame players to help with the burden of carrying a team. Dame hasn't even had an all-star to help since Aldridge. I feel like you're just trolling so I'm going to just leave it at that.

    Blazers should re-sign Powell then trade CJ for Jaylen Brown and if still a way to get KAT go for it.

    Gee, a fan who is critical of dame and critical of anyone who doesn't agree with him.

    I can't put my finger on who this is...

    That wasn’t an exhaustive list. You can also compare him to Jokic, or Kawai, or Dirk. Dame has the talent to be a GOAT but he’s underperformed relative to many other players. He got outplayed by Jrue Holiday for fuck sake. He’s essentially Jordan in the beginning of his career: he can score at will but he can’t win shit. Part of it is his team, but he’s not blameless.

    The responsibility always falls on the leader. “It wasn’t me, it was everyone else” is not the mark of a good leader. Dame will never come out and say this out loud, but he is thinking it. He is a mediocre nice guy when it comes to being a leader. I don’t know how you can possibly disagree with this. I’ve never even heard a rumor of him raising his voice once, let alone threatening to beat/kill people like Kobe/MJ.

    I’m not a “troll” because I call a spade a spade and mention that he needs to show more emotion. He is too distracted by things like Instagram, politics, and making rap videos. He is too smug and self assured when he hasn’t won anything and only has meaningless personal accolades to show for his entire career. If you think he has the same desire to win as Kobe or MJ you’re high.

    I’ve been floating this idea to my friends in Boston for at least three years. Unfortunately it sounds like they love Brown. I wish.

    Brown is the perfect Blazers with Dame
