He is the most respectable player in the league. Carrying a team on his back for the 8 years and never complained and even turned down opportunities to leave and play for championship contending teams. He always talks pragmatically and refuses to blame the loss on any single person. Guy has earned the respect from every player and every NBA fan.

@@vee2927 I've been saying that for the past two years. Their defense is so awful and I understand, they don't have the best defensive players but as a coach you have to change something.

@@ricooo4566 k, I don’t think he was comparing the two he just said they deserve the same respect and also dame has been with Portland his whole career even tho he ain’t have the teammates as currys, he still decided to be loyal
I mean at this point, it just feels like Dame's career is getting repetitive... Out of this world performances end up meaning absolutely nothing because of the lack of a supporting cast on his level... His loyalty hurting his own legacy...
I admire that he ain't going that route. What NEEDS to happen is put some pieces around him in Portland that can assist. Missed dunks, little-to-no energy oft the bench. Carmelo 30 + minutes and 8 pts....shot 15% or something awful. Dame really just needs one other reliable stud. He doesn't want to go anywhere else. He wants to do it the right way IN Portland.
@@floordoctor Portland aint gonna give it to him. I respect is loyalty but the front office clearly aint loyal to him, they haven't given him anything to work with including a good defensive coach.
@@nibbatello3120 Yeah...I can concede to the fact that it hasn't happened yet for sure, but the grass isn't always greener. That's been proven over and over and over again with many "stars."

They really don't have a choice, or yeah...barring decisions in the off-season, it could lead to that discussion more seriously.
Dameian Lillard is my favorite player! Love the effort and passion he puts into the game. Hope the Blazers tie and advance! Love the Nuggets, loved to have seen Murray in this match up.
Portland needs to bring another Superstar if they want to keep Dame. I mean, come on how many more years can you expect him to be loyal if they aren’t giving him the help he needs.
Poor guy looks broken. The greatest shooting performance (volume, efficiency and timing) in playoff history and his teammates go 1/14 in the overtime periods.
I can't even listen to him. After two sentences, the pain behind his voice was enough. He deserves better than the organization can give him. Thank you Lillard...you're the best Trail Blazer of all time. You did it man.
This dude is actually cold blooded...he drops 55 6 and 10 and acts like it's nothing. But at the same time I understand, this is the playoffs and winning matters more than ever crazy stats or not. Still, he doesn't seem to even care what he did was one of the craziest things people have ever seen if it doesn't lead to a win.
@Peter mrui Well he shouldn't be all smiles but maybe some sort of happiness for his historic accomplishment. But like I said I understand at the same time
They still have a better squad on paper and on the court becaus of Dame. It all rests in his hands if he wants to move on to the next round. Nobody is bigger than Lillard in this series straight up! 💯
Fact is, everyone on the Portland team is trying to be a hero, also shooting too many 3s, instead of sharing the ball more for easier opportunities. Dame being the leader is exemplifying this problem. With this style of play, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It's hard to get consistency.
This mad deserves to win. He does everything in his power to carry his team. He stayed loyal to Portland by not leaving and teaming up with other big name players. He the truth
Don’t be surprised if y’all see dame in a warriors uniform next year as crazy as I may sound if you really sit and think it’s not that crazy can you imagine Steph,dame and klay🤯
ima blazers fan and if next season he ask for trade im not even gonna blame him. i respect and love the guy that EVERYBODY in the WORLD knows he deserve a chip, even the denver fans.

@@ryd9965 CJ is on and off, but dont forget 2 years ago, that he saved Portland's szn with that insane game 7 performance. I like cj, but this year it has been off. It's starts with stotts first tbh.
Naw man, they did the right thing by ending it. That man didn’t deserve to have to go off in front of cameras and he was about ten seconds from doing it
Rodney hood is the worst player in the league this season. We should of kept Gary I'll agree. Injury recovery or not Rodney was straight up this year besides one or two games. He sold over half our season. Liked Gary tho
I'm a Blazer's fan, but the organization has let this man down. He's on par with Steph Curry, has the heart of a championship, and the only reason why he isn't seen as a perennial mvp candidate such is because the front office and coaching staff can't put together a team or a defensive scheme to save their lives. Like I said, I'm a Blazer's fan, but I hope Dame leaves and goes to a team where he has a legitimate chance to win a championship.
Well and he’s in a smaller market. Warriors have done historic things in e past 6-7 years. He should be almost as famous as Steph but the small market and lack of playoff success is why he’s still not as big as he should be
Meaning he’s probably strongly weighing his options right now if they lose this series 💯💯 he needs to get the hell outta dodge and onto a better team, bigger market
What a waste... Portland better be grateful Lillard is a man of pride and principal and wants to stay there. His talent needs to be on the big stage.
Believe me, we are grateful.
We are... dunno what else to feel but pain for this man
The big stage? Lol you want him to join the Lakers or something and make another super team?
@@scottramsdell9517 Fr I just want him to win....hopefully with us but if he leaves us I can’t even be mad.... Oshley blew his chance with this dude

Dame Lillard could run for mayor of Portland TODAY and win 80% of the votes. Proud of him being my team captain.
