HEART OF A CHAMPION

DAME TIME!

Some players may not have championships but their heart is nothing less of a champion! Many people feel this way about Allen Iverson but right now I’m focusing on Damian Lillard! Dame been putting on a clinic recently but I wanted to discuss how I knew Dame was that guy!

I. CALLING THAT DAME WINNER

I remember back in the bluff we were watching the 2014 NBA Playoffs. Portland was playing the Rockets and we were chilling stuffing our faces probably. So we were all standing on the tv, I told my mans Dame bout to crush Houston watch this. His eyes stayed glued to the television. We saw Dame pull up in what felt like slow motion and he sunk that game winner. I was like see man I called it, I knew it that boy wanted.

II. DAME BE BALLING

Even though, I called that game winner, Dame really wasn’t showing that dog yet. It were these past couple years that showed Dame as a dominating beast. Dame started to become “Logo Dame”. He would pull up from anywhere on the court and drain it. Boy was looking like he was trying to bring NBA JAM back! I mean he just was destroying the competition left and right. Dame’s champion heart came into full swing in my opinion when he hit that crazy shot. or Paul George.

A. GOOD DEFENSE OR BETTER OFFENSE?!

Head to Merchandise Tab to Purchase !

In 2019, Portland was facing off against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder had the ferocious guard, Russell Westbrook and a former potential MVP in Paul George. Paul George, known for his perennial defense, was the man chosen to lock down the superstar. However no matter how much defensive prowess was on display by Paul George, Dame rose above and sank a shot all the way from Istanbul! The shot was so deadly it took years for Paul George to admit the shot was clutch, he at first said the shot was a “bad shot”. Survey says that was cap! The moment was so crazy for me, it inspired one of my new WLCM products, the “GOOD DEFENSE or BETTER OFFENSE” tee, available now on gettothecorner.com !

III. A TRUE SUPERSTAR

DAME’S CHARACTER IN SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY!

Dame has been a loyal guard for Portland, in this time of superteams, Dame says give me some soldiers and leave the rest to me! For me that is so respectable! Dame cache has increased a lot in the recent years! His shoes are hotter, he has a prominent role in the upcoming SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY, and he’s the latest cover athlete for the best basketball simulation on the planet, NBA 2K21!

If anyone deserves a championship its young Dame! Oh and he’s the hardest basketball-rapper of all time! It may be Shaq but Dame legit is lyrical, even though Shaq did have platinum albums and a song with BIG! But Dame can really spit man lol!

Dame continues to put in the work and one day he will be rewarded with a ring somehow! Maybe when King James decide to retire because I can’t allow him to beat the King lol. But much love to Dame man he really has the heart of a champion!
