Story of him taking his jersey off and losing the game because of the technicals is a great one. Changed his entire demeanor and made him even more dangerous.

You pay me 50 million a year to play basketball I wouldnt complain either. Not sure what the big deal is about someone playing basketball making millions and not complaining. As Chris Rock said, its what youre supposed to do. He has had good players, CJ Mcollum and others. But Dame hasnt been good enough to beat the best.

If anything, Dame deserve to win a chip on the Blazers. Despite noises around the league that he should leave Portland and join a superteam, he's just too loyal to do so and told that even the Blazers traded him there wont be any hard feelings. He doesn't forget where he came from and grateful on where he is now.

To think Lillard and Giannis teaming up this season - two very loveable players; each the master of their craft; and probably the hardest working players in the league right now, in the same team.
So humble... Dame deserves love. Even if he doesn't win a chip, his loyalty and strong game should be celebrated.
My man Dame deserves more credit. He's been living in Steph's shadow for all of his career, and he never had a team that could help him win anything. Yet still he is loyal and although he may retire ringless, he will be my all time favorite guy

That shot gave me chills
The way dame talks about his current team as well as his college (weber st) makes me like him even more. You can just tell he's humble af.
Dame is easily my favorite player. I've only seen him play in person once but I plan on going to more in the future.
Thanks for giving dame his recognition, his story is so inviting. Praying God continues to bless him
And now he’s dropping 70. Dope dude
In an era dominated by prima donnas and Ball hogs, dame has been that guy. Hope he can get some support and win a ring before he retires. Nothing but respect for a cold blooded machine
By far the most underrated player in the NBA, love this dude
I will always remember Dame killing the Lakers when he was a rookie and Kobe even said that boy serious. I knows he would be a great player from that game.
There's just one word that can define Lillard perfectly. Cold.
I grew up 40 minutes south of Weber State and I went to the Weber state basketball summer camp from 8-15 and one year dame was my teams coach because the players were put in charge of the kids. Great guy I never knew how good he was until I was older
Dame is quite literally part of the reason I love the blazers. I know --obviously-- but just the way he talks off the court and never falls short of a genuine answer in interviews is something that you really don't see in other stars. I can't imagine growing up watching someone like Paul George or Kyrie Irving who constantly leave and quite literally lie to the press about how they "plan to stay" on their teams when they end up leaving. Dame, on the other hand, never ends up in drama, and always has the right thing to say. Truly a selfless and honest, down-to-earth guy who strives only to be the best person he can be. I just don't know how you could dislike Dame (except when he is destroying your team, of course).
a lot of clueless people tend to discredit the greatness of a player just because they never won championship.. dame and chuck are in that conversation.. ive always admired his play...
Living in Portland I've been lucky enough to see all his greatness. Dude is a beast. 1st team all NBA this year
i hope dame wins one in portland so bad. Would be the most memorable title since dirk. He seems like one of the few w the old head mentality. cool to see his backstory too. good vid :)
Just scored a career high 71! Nothing but respect to dame
True definition of dedication here. You put honest work and you get honest results

Here after he dropped 71, man's a legend
Look at dame man, so inspirational. Dame is a great player and a top point guard in the league.
Love Dame's logyalty and cold blood finsining at the end of the game. Keep GOING!
Whenever I feel like I'm being doubted or passed up, it's videos and stories like this that keep me going.
Dame would have been awesome in any era of basketball, man.
It’s not a lot of nba players who said “I’m done ima go team up with a superstar somewhere else. And dame is one of them. He legit
And then drops 71 pts and 13 threes in a game 🔥 Dame Dolla is cold
He is my favourite current player. He's so cool. Idk how you can't like him. My brother is an OKC fan and always loved Russ, but Dame is one of his favourite players as well and we both consider him the best PG in the league.

..."chasing rings somewhere else was never an option." Mr Lillard is true professional, and epitome of teammate. No brands, or gimmicks.
Dame is definitely underrated and for a while. He has been one of the top point guards in the league for years and the fact that he mainly carried Portland for his time there is insane. Also: I love his smooth shot mechanics. I never noticed that he is a palm shooter, though, up until the All Star 3 point contest
Dame is how a player on the NBA should be ! Favorite of all time ! ( along with Drexler)
his control of his emotions after being embarrassed in HS shows he's the type of guy who learns from his mistakes. he deserves peoples respect
One of the most inspirational players ever

I have massive Respect for this guy, he really is one of my Favorite players ever. And he not switching teams is another level of awesome. Hall of Famer for sure :)
I love how Dame makes failure and setbacks a part of his story. Blows a game in High School by taking his shirt off, turns himself into a stone faced assassin. Breaks his foot, turns himself into a monster. Gets swept by the Pels, turns himself into a pick and roll master by becoming Logo Lillard.
Great video. Your storytelling skills are amazing 👏
anyone else notice cj hit the bye bye after seeing dame do it, lmao i love them together bruhh

The funny thing is this came out before the 71 game
Man dropped a 70 bomb tonight 😭🔥
Here after he just exploded for 71. This guy is ridiculous
4:30-4:45 destined for greatness 🙏🏽💯
I remember seeing the game as a kid. I liked lillard before but at this moment I became a fan!
2012 is a BEAST year for NBA players too! The man is just a great person all around. He saves his money and he makes a TON of money off of shoe deals alone. Hes tied with Kobe 2nd on the list of players who have scored 60 or more points a statistic that not many players make.
0:01 perfect timing with the beat

WOOOH DAME UPLOAD!!! LITERALLY THE GOAT
