Really good read - much of which we've read before, but still: https://www.sbnation.com/2018/4/5/1...trail-blazers-nba-playoffs-western-conference
Dame is a fantastic example that he doesn’t need to be in a “BIG” market to make cash and a name for himself off the court. I think social media has changed the game. Their message can get out no matter where they play.
Just think how big Dame would be if the Blazers organization was able to produce high quality video replays!
“When shit starts to get tight, you know he’s ready for it,” says veteran forward Ed Davis. “There’s a lot of guys who say they got it, but they ain’t got it. Trust me. I’ve been long around to know that there’s only a select few that can do it on a nightly basis.”
I don't give a fuck what happens for the rest of Dame's career. He could win us a title or he could just go on doing what he does, but the letter "O" needs to hang in the rafters.
I think dame was using reverse psychology on ET. It was really ET's fault but dame didn't want to come out and say it to ET
