ESPN Cover Story: Damian Lillard
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Lillard has two careers, and both are defined by one place: his hometown neighborhood of Brookfield Village, just outside Oakland, Calif. After recently signing a $196 million extension with Portland, Lillard is secure in his first profession. Meanwhile, his music career, under rap persona Dame D.O.L.L.A., is rapidly expanding, having released his third album in August. In this installment of ESPN Cover Story, The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears uncovers how Lillard’s success in music and basketball are rooted in the neighborhood he was raised in, and how he continues to give back to Brookfield today.

Dame's a real one. Mad respect for him in all ways. Good human being.
Sooooo glad OREGON has Dame. So glad. :) & he’s never leaving.
One of the realest dudes in the league and rap. Loyal to the soil says it all
I remember when Damian released his first album I knew it was something special about the brother. By the way that album helped my pass my Psychology 101 exam in college. Thanks brother for the motivation.
@Eben Cole thanks I appreciate that 👍👍👍
@@lorhtommy786 Nice bro. Keep at it!
@@blairoconnor6785 Thanks bro I appreciate it 💪💪🙏💯
You are literally my child hood hero and you inspire me the most😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭when I needed advice or motivation you were always there thank you
"Bigger than us" is maybe his most influential song. THAT IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!!
Dame is one of my favorite players I want to be like him and kyrie when I grow up. Dame is so inspiring in my eyes
Pick Dame. Kyrie... leaves some to be desired.
Dame need to win the sportsmanship award bruh

@@rastagod9970 Damn
Thank you dame for inspiring me and entertaining me either if your on the court or off the court making music
A star in and out of the court! Mad respect to this awesome man !
Your amazing man keep pushing keep improving keep inspiring
Blazers aren't my team of choice, but Dame gets my absolute respect for his play and leadership. I just wish he'd smile a bit more. Like the Joker would ask, "Why so serious?".
Momma Lillard got some moves
Gonna be the blazers goat when it’s all said and done 💪🏻💪🏻 #ripcity
@Daveed da sick he'll be the franchise leader in damn near every category by the time he retires.
ShaquileBROneil I think he already is.
Daveed da sick by the time he retires, he will by far pass him LOL
@Daveed da sick How many chips did Drexler win the Blazers?
@Daveed da sick Winning a ring for another team does fuck all to make your case as the best Blazer. Sounds like you're not even a Blazers fan so why tf are you even here?
dame dance are soooo smooth
Your a Legend on an off the court. Thanks for everything you do Dame!
GO BLAZERS!!

Love Dame too much
The truth!!!! Underrated on both sides!
🔥🔥MY GUY
Came as soon you posted brotha 😂
Greatness in the making 🤙🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
You are another sacred ( to us fans ) Portland legend ( we know you're from Oakland ). Realistically in Portland history there are a lot of great players, but so few on such a gifted, talented, blessed level. We are grateful and fortunate to have you here, great things start with you. We can only hope you acheive and get the wonderful things and credit you deserve. I have not been this inspired by a Blazer player in decades and I know how humble you are having met you very briefly a couple times. and I don't want to leave CJ out of this, he's a great talent as well, it's the team's you guys build. Thanks Dame!
If you all don’t know the plastic crate they are playing basketball with is the hoop Lillard grew up practicing on 1:21
One of my favorite players in the NBA.. very stoic and humble..
@@jgoodlett you obviously don't watch basketball much. Dame talks trash to people who talk trash to him but for the most part he doesn't celebrate after every play and is very stoic! You obviously don't know what stoicism means in literal terms. If you're talkin about the whole Shaq incident he didn't talk mess he just gave his opinion and shaq took offense and they made a few disses about each other nothing more than that. Also if you correlate him not having rings with him being humble or stoic you're a moron! They're having a Down Season sure but almost every year since he's been in the league he's been in the playoffs in the tough Western Conference so him not having value is an oxymoron statement. Novice people like yourself shouldn't speak on these types of subjects because you're Clueless😂😂
@@jgoodlett I peeped your page and you're commenting on any and everything Dame Lillard.. you're a loser. Who has time to go from RUclips page to RUclips page leaving negative comments on somebody they claim not to like😂fucking clown😂
I performed at his picnic 💪🏽💪🏽
Hi dame hope your days good
Inspiring
Dame D.O.L.L.A is a positive impact on his hometown and he got BARZ.
Best pg in the league
@Mr. Marshall man is trying his ass off music wise and on the court, loyal to a team,and a great influence on kids in his home area and you gonna say this shit? he loves portland and plays well 99% of nights, what do you want him to do join the fucking lakers and get a free ring? stfu
Yeah until Curry returns.
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 major salute homie

Ooga booga
Dame is a top-50 player in NBA history imo:
(6) 50+ point games (1 in playoffs, 7 total) (Durant and Curry also have 6) www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/50-point-game-most-times.html
3 of the top-100 all-time highest Hollinger Game scores (56,43, and 35th best game ever) www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/game_score.html
2 of the 7 All-time NBA playoff series-ending game-winning shots in NBA history are by DAMIAN LILLARD (D. Lillard 2, M. Jordan 2, J. Stockton 1, R. Sampson 1, K. Leonard 1)
1 of 3 NBA players all-time to start their careers with 6 straight season of at least 1,500 points and 400 assists (Oscar Robertson, Lebron James, Damian Lillard)
He made this song: ruclips.net/video/0mM527yJ3K8/видео.html
The ENTIRE GAME 5 vs OKC was one of the most DOMINANT displays of "will" imposed on a game from start to finish of ALL-TIME. He made a 35 footer like 20 secs into the game AND ENDED IT WITH ANOTHER!! Damian Lillard's shot is by default one of the GREATEST EVER. Most people make 30 footers as a last resort to win a game -- DAME SAID: "NO OT TONIGHT" He literally lived out PG13s own Gatorade commercial. The irony is crazy. ruclips.net/video/XgnlEkEzAEg/видео.html Like really.... eat your heart out Paul. Dame went and did it.
GO BLAZERS!!
My GGGGG
Rip juice
Bruh hes the man!!
Dame or shaq or lonzo in a wrap battle
900 or nothn ! Lil cuzz baby is east side O
Big Game Dame!!!
MVP MVP MVP
On any level he wants!
Dame's voice is like a slightly less irreverent Vince Staples.
I like him better as a hooper
The realest famous person on the planet
soundcloud rapper
STRONGER
Bro been talking year after year about how he always getting snubbed on the All-Star vote, yet his 'music' career is what first pops up on searches 🤣
God is from the Town!!!!!
First
HE NEEDS TO RETIRE FROM THE NBA AND GO RAP!!!,.. CUZ HIS BB CAREER IS DONE!!!.
Lyrics are cliche and dull.
