📝 Eu me peguei pensando em escrever alguma coisa assim que eu vi esse lance acontecendo ontem quase 03:30 da manhã.

Acho que esse é o tal legado do basquete que muitas pessoas resumem como “ou você tem história porque venceu um título ou não tem nada.”

Damian Lillard é intrínseco a Portland, e vice versa.

Damian Lillard é o sorriso do Donovan Clingan depois desse arremesso do meio da quadra.

Damian Lillard é o Deni Avdija colocando as mãos à cabeça depois desses arremesso do meio da quadra.

Damian Lillard é o banco pulando de alegria depois desse arremesso do meio da quadra.

Mas principalmente…

Damian Lillard é a alegria do torcedor do Trail Blazers, que soltou um URRO ontem com esse arremesso do meio da quadra.

Achei esse grito da torcida melhor que qualquer “welcome back” monótono que eles poderiam dar a esse cara.

É um grito que simboliza muita coisa, desde o choro do adolescente que cresceu e virou adulto assistindo o Dame até o adulto que envelheceu ainda tendo fé no Lillard.

É um grito de uma torcida que faz simplesmente a ideia de que cogitar mover esse time de cidade seja um absurdo, um crime, uma abominação.

Nem todo mundo nasceu pra vencer a NBA, e sabem de uma coisa?

TÁ TUDO BEM.

Daqui a 50 anos vamos ver pessoas em Portland usando a camiseta 0 desse cara, e esse é o verdadeiro legado para os seus, para o seu local.

No final do dia, ver Lillard acertando esse arremesso do meio da quadra na frente dessa torcida me passa uma sensação de CERTO.

A peculiar coin-toss decision. A lack of sportsmanship after a brutal hit. Allowing 4 methodical 2nd half TD drives to a backup QB, and keeping the offense on the field for a game-sealing turnover on downs.

Lincoln Riley’s USC football program, everybody. 

What’s new?

Never thought I’d be rooting for another Camara, but here I am. Toumani looks like a great pickup for the Blazers in the trade. Defensive versatility on display! #RipCity

[Hoops Don @99thBasketball]

Afterthought in the Lillard trade, rookie Toumani Camara has impressed in his first NBA actions.

Let’s dig into his defensive performance against the Jazz — highlighting his striking maturity, outstanding techniques and attention to details.

@LouWill236 Major contributions from Vincent, Lowry, Duncan, Love, Martin, etc. it’s bam and Jimmy who lead this attack, but everyone on the heat has something to say about staying ready and playing big in the moment. Huge response after game 1. Tied up heading back to Miami!

[Ian Johnson @ianjohnson_22]

@LouWill236 This Duncan - Bam two man game is so fun to watch. Like Spo said, 10,000 hours of reps and live reads. Huge part of the game that is hard to understand as a casual is the idea that basketball is just making quick decisions on the fly. Shoutout to the heat for always staying ready
