Plus he averaged 8 boards a game. Yeah he's skinny but if he can mix it up on the boards I'm not all that concerned about his weight or lack thereof

Raymond couldnt do anything right last year but I always laugh at people who think any professional basketball player who plays 48 min games 3-4 times a week is anything close to fat lol

No, I finished a more extended report on Lillard and then started on Leonard, but haven't finished it yet because I got lazy 8-)

Still open on my desktop, will get back to work on it, and post them both together.

I learned on Damian Lillard's Facebook page that he chose the number "0" because it stood for Oakland (where he is from), Ogden (where Weber St. is) and Oregon. Good choice IMO for choosing that number even though it's technically not a number. ;)

There's a reason why Barkley's nickname was "the round mound of rebound" when he played. It wasn't because of the shape of his head....

Im aware of his nickname but its humanly impossible to play 4-5 48 min NBA games a wk & be fat, their definition of "out of shape" or "fat" is our definition of "gym rat"

Better free throw shooter... Probably not as good as a defensive team leader
