🙏🏿 to anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one.

[@ryanstgeorge9992]

What is this feeling of happiness I am having as a Trail Blazers fan right now?! Is this... hope? haha

[@derekxavier220]

I am 49 and my mom still around. Thank God God bless

[@gseric4721]

Best of luck to the young fella. He made it.

[@ZoeHoffman-qk1cm]

as a blazers fan… we really needed this 😭

[@juliobonilla2222]

Donavon is the steal of the draft

[@GunninRebel55]

This kid lost his mom. Just amazing. I can't say how much that benefits him. Shes smiling down and that's gonna carry him far in the NBA.

[@gdbssa]

That was vintage Stephen A. Nice to see him taking a break from the Pokemon analysis of late.

[@kengvang3062]

He's good. We'll see how he adjust in the big league. Good luck! You'll do great.

[@tenn_ore]

This kid is going to be fine. He looked like a men among boys in Summer League, and even though my Blazers are not good right now, we've got our center of the future. He can sit back and develop while Ayton is still here, but I hope we've got a guy who will make Portland his home for life. It's a great city, regardless of the reputation nationwide.

[@darthrain5895]

I lost my Mom too well before her time. To Clingan and these three men covering the draft I feel your pain. God bless! Stay strong!

[@user-gl5vz2qm4w]

I'm happy for him

[@kevinborota8386]

Please don’t get injured

[@TheStrawThatStirsTheDrink]

Imagine finally making it and you cant show your mother, finally you have the financial independence to take care of her, give back and she's not around anymore. Life can be cruel sometimes. You cant have it all.

[@justinward7331]

Lets just hope the blazers big man curse doesn't happen to Donovan. I would be so upset. Ive lived in Portland my whole life.

[@LIKEMIKEGG7]

As a blazers fan, anybody can let me know anout this bigman. Potential, etc?
