Couldn't have said it better. I remember a talk show where someone was saying that CJ struck them someone who they believed would grow big city aspirations. I'm not sure that's entirely accurate, but I will definitely be more concerned when CJ is an UFA than I will when Dame is.
This is a great bunch of guys top to bottom. It's unique..CJ is an engaging, intelligent young man. Portland is a great place for an NBA player to come home to after a long road trip...these guys know how chaotic big markets are. You come to Portland to play basketball and improve without distraction...it was Dame that said that. Dame's mom and CJ's mom are best friends now...beyond those guys..try to separate those mothers and move them apart! It's a great story. My greatest hope for these guys is
Dame and CJ are also 2 of the most fun players to watch in the league. I know some of you hold the "championship or bust" mentality, but i really appreciate the privilege of watching the 2nd or 3rd best starting backcourt in the league operating on a daily basis. Imagine having to watch Harden and Beverley every other day...argh
