What happened to Damian Lillard's injury?
This isn't Kevin Durant. This isn't a dude who's seven feet tall who can just bank on. Worst case for me is I can just be like Dirk Nowitzki, old Dirk, just raining jump shots. We don't know 100% certainty. All the comments last night were pessimistic. We're going to get to the future and what it means, but just... This is a guy both of us kind of our professional careers kind of overlap almost exactly with Damian Lillard's entry from Weber State into the NBA. I remember watching him at Summer League trying to pick apart his game, not pick apart, but like, oh, my gosh, something something's interesting here. We all know, you know, there ain't too many players with two series winning walk off shots in the history of the NBA. I mean, just reaction, just gut reaction.
I think my gut reaction is kind of aligned with Dame's, which is after this injury happened, and he just sort of sat there with it. And, you know, is that resignation? Is that acceptance? I don't know what he's going through in that particular moment, but when a player like Damian Lillard goes down and kind of stays down, and particularly when he goes down grabbing the back of that ankle, We all know what that means. We all know what he's reaching for. We all know what he is feeling in that moment in the sense that we have seen it before. I really hope, desperately hope that this is not it for Damian Lillard. But I want to be really clear that even if Damian Lillard comes back and plays NBA basketball again... this injury is going to define the end game of his career.
