Dame plays in Portland , an isolated market and his teams are mainly just solid with little expectations...The extra cristicism is usually reserved for cats contending/winning at a high level and/or playing in big markets ...Dame would still be cool long as he stays on the Blazers and continues to lose before the Finals/WCF
And remember the bubble concept got an extra spotlight on him right now, he doesn’t get all this attention when a normal season is going on...But shout-out to yo tho, he ballin keep doing what he doing !
I was thinking about this...Dame is in a position where he's not really going to be slandered. IMO, his teams have overachieved for the most part. For the past several years Portland had to compete with the GSW dynasty and now there are two highly lauded teams in LA for the next few years and GSW might reload, not to mention other teams. Plus despite all the hype, folks have never had championship aspirations for him and his teams like they have with Harden, Greek, etc. which is why those guys catch heat.
Dame will be looked at as a phenomenal player that stayed loyal to his squad, exceeded expectations but couldn't win because he didn't give in to the Super Team Culture. That will make him bulletproof from the mainstream media IMO.

On God. If I have a son, I'm telling him to model his game after FVV.

He’s top 20 so he’s real close. Like how he’s staying aggressive putting pressure on the defense off the dribble and not being passive. Still creating plays for others

He's close
but if he wants to be this pick and roll primary ball handler he's gunna have to tighten up that handle and add some mid range shots to his bag.

Bro...1 trillion. After watching last night. Lakers gonna have a hard time advancing past Portland. If they manage, they have literally nothing for Houston. That'd probably be a 5 game series, maybe 4. Rox would do them dirty like golden state. I don't think they have a chance getting past the 2nd round.
Portland gets game 2, it's big wraps anyways if we're keeping it a buck.

Yeah much rather have Pascal better defensive player, can hit a 3.
Houston gotta play with 5 permitter players because Westbrook can't shoot

Clyde Drexler 2.0 for Portland... i admire Dame's loyalty but I imagine at some point he's gonna realize that there's a ceiling to playing on a Portland team stuck in the Western Conference. Gonna wither away his prime and never make it out of the WCF
he can use CP3 as a cautionary tale.

was watching the '14 wichita st vs kentucky highlights off youtube
crazy that FVV is probably the best nba player out of everyone on the floor
kentucky with all the 5* (harrisons, randle, young, wcs)
wichita (anthony, baker, fvv)
that was a squad, really wanted to see them go undefeated that yr

This is how I see his career panning out. He seems to pride himself over this false loyalty.
