Damian Lillard 2 (March 2023)

Portland Trail Blazers Superstar, Damian Lillard for our 150th episode. This is a TRULY special conversation that we hope you all enjoy as much as we did. Topics include: Dame's historic scoring stretch and how it was birthed out of necessity, how he attacks drop coverage and other defensive schemes, why he isn't totally satisfied with his 71 point game, if he believes anyone in The NBA can score 100 points in a game, his unique shooting technique that allows him to confidently pull-up from deep, how he feels The NBA has changed with the 3-point revolution and when he felt comfortable to start taking 10 a game, why he feels the NBA's de-emphasis on veterans is hurting the game, how he feels the NBA is changing for the worse and how he finds peace in all the discourse/noise, why he also feels 'rings culture' is cheapening the game, what he personally defines as a 'successful career', the reality of why he's choosing the NBA path he's currently on instead of joining a super team, reliving his game winners against The Houston Rockets and The Oklahoma City Thunder and so much more.
