Pretty basic interview. He talks about how the move to OTE improved his understanding of the game and his skill. Then about the comfortable relationship with the staff being a difference-maker in his recruitment. Acknowledges where he fits in OU’s ball screen heavy offense as a lob threat, and...
Was he a winning player when he stuffed Oklahoma City in a locker in 5 games with less talent around him and initiated the tank job that resulted in the OKC Thunder we see today? People in this state should love Damian Lillard.
Portland was 27-31 with Dame that year and 6-18 without him.
I’m not going to sit here and act like Dame was Gary Payton on the defensive end or something but no version of Jrue Holiday as a #1 option would even sniff the playoffs.
Yeah. Gravity. Guys who draw defenders and force defensive adjustments/irregularities. If you don’t believe he elevated teams in the playoffs you didn’t watch.
