Lillard Still Apologetic About Nash's Leg

[pross]

Lillard can be very classy. I forget what the story was, but I remember hearing something about him not being able to take a photo with a fan because he was busy, then when the fan told him about it on Twitter he made sure he was able to see the fan again and take a photo.

I'm a man of my word....S/O @SArdestani6

Pretty sure the kid saw him at the mall and tweeted to him about it. Lillard tweeted back and asked to meet him for a photo. I don't think you'll find many NBA players do that.

[azuresou1]

Not a Blazers fan but Lillard seems like a standup guy.

I can vaguely imagine what's going through his head though... "I put the nail in the coffin of a Top 3 GOAT PG"

Never liked the blazers, but Damian Lillard a likable dude. Always been a fan since predraft.

He's so full of ****.

See how he treated the fans in Houston last year, innocent little kids. He tries to be too good in front of people, go on twitter to recognize some folks, etc. The two times I've seen him-- he's been unnecessarily rude to folks a third his age and even double his age.

He's not classy at all, he's just a scumbag. He likes to compare his life to the song by Drake-- Started from the Bottom. That just says it all.

He also told of a bunch of 8 year olds at All-Star weekend to **** off, no one has that on social media so let's forgive him. He also was literally the only guy not willing to sign the balls to kids for the Rookie-Soph game last year, and was disgusting towards the ASG crew.

Very good player, but I don't like this phony bull he's doing.

Not sure if you're serious?

100% serious. He's a piece of ****.

Very good player, but I don't like this phony bull he's doing.

I was planning on doing a thread a while back about players who act like that and also asking RealGM posters how they would act if they were famous.

I was looking at Andre Iguodala's Instagram one time and he was ranting about how a "male groupie" bothered him on the plane and caused him to break his phone's screen.

I can understand him being mad at someone trying to get his attention and causing him to drop his phone, but it's surprising how he calls his fans "male groupies". Iggy isn't a singer or male model so he can't expect all his fans to be girls. When you're a basketball player, 75% of your fans will most likely be guys and older men.

lillard to the lakers

Yes that the only way Lillard can make it up to Nash is by forcing a trade to play for the Lakers as the would only be reasonable.

Nah, the Blazers aren't a farm team for the Lakers.

You guys already have multiple farm teams in the NBA (or teams that went out of their way to help the Lakers):

Orlando
Charlotte
Cleveland
Utah
Memphis

I mean I don't think you need anymore when throughout history the Lakers have benefited from some of the most lopsided trades of all time. They don't always work but when they do they are huge for the Lakers.

Charlotte got back a good player in Divac in the Kobe trade. As if anyone thought that Kobe would become the player he has become.. Regardless, Kobe stated he would not play for Charlotte anyway

What was he supposed to say?

Care to explain why? Because it's Drake? He wasn't offered a scholarship by any big time school, went to a tiny school in Utah and went on to be a Top 10 pick and Rookie of the Year. How is calling someone a rags to riches story and saying they "started from the bottom now they're here" any different?

Lol at the butthurt people hating on Lillard.

lol well they still benefited from having a lottery pick demand his way onto their team and im pretty sure they weren't in the lottery. You just proved him correct more than anything, organizations around the league cater to the Lakers, that's no secret.

Catering to the Lakers is rather extreme to be honest. Lakers gave up a good player for a project.

The trade was agreed to before they even selected their pick. They were just drafting the player the Lakers told them to pick, which happened to be Kobe. The Lakers essentially drafted Kobe.

Lillard is one of my favs and seems like a good, down to earth dude, but I remember he had an incident over the summer with fans trying to take his picture or something. Let's not canonize him just yet.

[JellosJigglin]

Nash was already on a steady decline before he got to L.A., but Lillard did snuff out whatever career Nash had remaining. It was obviously unintentional.

[ChiCitySPORTS#1]

Man, Steve Nash going to the Lakers has been a huge failure

He was a bad fit under Mike Brown, and unfortunately he's never been healthy since Dantoni came aboard. Losing those picks hurts for sure.

Classy guy. Caring for the elderly.
