Damian Lillard story

[NorthEndZoneDan]

this is a pretty good story on Lillard.

"Lillard Time.

It's a hashtag. It's a social media cue for Portland Trail Blazers' fans to unite in cheering during the fourth quarter of close games as they root on their team. It's a snarl. It's a warning signal to opposing teams that something wicked this way comes. Get to the final period of a game against the Blazers and have the gall to possess a lead or be within striking distance of a victory and you'll have to deal with Lillard Time."

There is also some good material from the GM. Its a good read.

A pretty strong statement, considering all the great players who have preceded him. As just one very old example...Pete Maravich, still the greatest scorer in NCAA history, averaging 44.2 points per game--without the benefit of a three-point line (it was later calculated that he would have averaged 57 PPG if he'd had a chance to shoot 3s), but never made the Big Dance. Not to mention that PM could not play as a frosh under then-current NCAA rules, so he's the leading all-time scorer despite having only three years to amass points.

Pistol could do it all....what a ball handler and the passing was "eyes in the back of your head" spot on...dad was coach and it was so entertaining when pete tried the impossible shot or pass...his shooting was beyond compare and yet he could take it to the hoop with calculated abandon...
