    Well he didn't say that. What he said was:
    So here's the All-Testicles team IMHO:

    PG Damian Lillard
    SG Kobe Bryant (even though I hate him...)
    SF Kevin Durant
    PF Lebron James
    C Marc Gasol (no Dwight.. you have no balls...)

    Lillard's game is nothing like Iverson's. No one will confuse him with AI.

    Clyde Drexler certainly did. He was a horrible practice player.

    I can see Thibodeau not wanting Rose on the team.

    He can't even get much for his testicles. Ten bucks and a frisbee. (See who gets that reference.)

    You may be right. It was odd seeing the video of Thibodeau, Coach K, and Rose talk about how great he looks. Talk about putting pressure on a guy for a young Team USA, especially a guy who hasn't played well in over two years.

    Is he only there to build up his confidence for next season, and will bow out?

    Even odds at this point eh?

    Considering how oddly his knee blew out in Portland I'd be trying to limit the mileage on those knees.

    Yeah, you're right, it makes perfect sense. I was also skeptical of why from Day One of camp the coaches all made a point to let him know he needs to be a leader. Why say that when the guy hasn't played at an elite level since Almost Human debuted well and then was cancelled.

    LOL! I wonder if Adidas is pressuring Rose to play? New shoe line just came out.

    His buddy that they brought in. That scrub point guard. I don't remember his name because he was so bad.

    Price.

    But he is much more vocal about Mo . . . if that is who the tweet is about.

    Well, he was pretty clear on how he felt about Mo earlier in the offseason.

    Well, Dame is, presumably, pretty close to himself. And Portland doesn't keep around people he's close to. Ergo, ipso facto, Portland won't keep Lillard around. QED.

    Dame was closest to JJ Hickson and Jared Jeffries his rookie year, close with Mo and Earl Watson last season

    Obviously the trend is towards smaller friends. Blazers just need to be sure to retain the ball boys after next season.

    I cant find the mo tweet but this tweet by dame comes on the heels of a mo tweet calling out the blazers for not offering him a good contract.
