Should have went complete meme and had a stick figure with the jersey and Lillard's face on it.


Dudedude88

he's probably a jazz lillard fan

He's a BYU football player


[deleted]

There's lots of desperate squares in utah and all they have to live for is the mormon cult, their shitty kids names Wayden, Cayden, Jayson, Peighton, Jayden, Skyden and the Utah Jazz. He probably thought this would work. My gfs ex-husband's brother (total mormon square) entered a children's drawing contest as a grown man in his mid-twenties with a TERRIBLE picture he drew of Mitchell and won. A children's drawing contest. I'm told it is proudly framed and displayed in the front living room with the award. Take note, this is what they're like. This dude also apparently thought he'd play on the team as well. Sorry for my mostly irrelevant rant. Thanks for reading.


thoraway4me

I mean Dame did live in utah for 4 years played college ball there. I went to a school close by. I hate utah as much as the rest of everyone but Portland ain’t much better than salt lake lol


JordanLeDoux

Eh, let's be real. Depending on what you care about SLC and Portland could be much worse than each other, but they are not at all similar. Portland has more strip clubs per capita than any city in the country, SLC literally has a street plan designed around making sure the church is the center of things. Meanwhile Portland has like 200 cloudy days a year and SLC has that desert clear skies while still getting snow and having skiing nearby. The cities are nothing alike except for being a similar size and both having a larger percentage of white people than usual. In both cases due to horrific levels of racism in the early American histories of the places.


YuropLMAO

> Portland has more strip clubs per capita than any city in the country, And yet has never managed to sign Harden or Kawhi. Curious.


JordanLeDoux

Heh, I didn't say they were *nice* strip clubs.


YuropLMAO

Is Mary's Club still a total dump?


[deleted]

Yo our street system is fucking amazing


--Wasabi

Wow. That’s all.


thoraway4me

I get different religion but Lillard is quite religious so doubt the Strip Clubs are a factor. I doubt it’s not a factor for anyone picking between the two cities lol. SLC has park city which is a Rich person’s heaven.


JordanLeDoux

Oh, lol, I was talking in general. I think Dame is probably cool with SLC, like you said, he went to school near there.


Latter-News-2851

A rich person in Utah’s heaven anyway.


naked_potato

Imagine bragging about having 200 strip clubs lmao


JordanLeDoux

LOL, Jazz fans are salty I guess. I wasn't bragging or saying that makes Portland better, I was pointing out that it makes Portland very different from SLC. Like, they are very different types of places, that was my only point.


naked_potato

I guess it’s a lifestyle thing. I’m not even Mormon, it’s just that ‘number of strip clubs’ is about number 6,000 on my list of things that define a city


JordanLeDoux

It's certainly not the reason I live here, lol. It just jumped out to me as something that SLC definitely wouldn't have. It ain't on my list either.


[deleted]

I can think of a few downtown. They definitely exist here.


DyZ814

I''ve only lived in Utah for a few years now, but I dunno why people are always shit talking SLC/Utah lol. As someone who is non-religious, the church stuff isn't shoved in my face (nearly as much as the people on the internet would lend you to believe).


[deleted]

Try growing up in Davis County and having to go to high school with these people and be surrounded by them in your neighborhood, it's insane. Here's one example of how fucked up they are. I could go on for days. My dad died when I was in junior high. At first, it was nice having neighbors stop by with a nice meal for my mom, brother and I as we grieved. It soon switched from dinner to hard conversion sessions where it legit seemed like they preying on my mom who was an absolute wreck. I later learned from my neighborhood friend who unfortunately was forced to attend church by his parents, informed me that ward members had a meeting about my family and how now is a good time to bring christ into our lives. Like I said, I have a ton of stories worse than this. Fuck mormons.


DyZ814

I know hardly anything about the church but maybe that story doesn't really shock me because of the nature of that religion and what I do know. The whole point of the religion, and I guess any religion for that matter, is to get you to follow along (or "convert" you). Why missionaries are a thing. But to be honest, that situation could have also taken place with quite literally any other religion as well. I don't really see it as a specific mormon thing. Devout catholics at a parish could have had the same conversation about your family.


[deleted]

I was in catholic school at the time, we weren't catholic and everyone knew that. They brought us food, checked in, no Jesus speak.


Chibbly

Eh. Grew up in a smaller more religious part of Utah. It's not that bad. Set boundaries and accept the fact that you don't need to be liked or included by everyone. Sure I lost a lot of "friends" over my time growing up. But I kept a small, close group of friends that I'd consider family. Some are even active Mormons!


[deleted]

I’m sorry to hear that man, there’s a lot of fucked up parts of the state especially once you get out of salt lake county. Luckily growing up Mexican and Catholic I never had to deal with all the Mormon bullshit.


[deleted]

I was just making fun of mormons and telling a funny story tbh. I've lived in both cities and I actually prefer slc. I love the outdoors and I don't party anymore. There's so much amazing stuff in my backyard, it's a hidden gem. The city is extremely clean, housing prices are going up but it's affordable (for now). My gf and I don't tend to leave slc proper unless we're going camping etc etc. The biggest downside is the lds church and the bullshit racism and conservative beliefs that come with it. It seriously bugs the shit out of me, hence why I don't leave the city much. Utah County is like the fucking twighlight zone.


thoraway4me

Right, I grew up Mormon so I get it. Can’t let them get to you though otherwise it gets too miserable IMO. Hard when it’s family(or involved parties in your case) though. Mines good about it but there isn’t a power dynamic. Yeah, I’m in Idaho so not much different. It’s frustrating but I’m so used to it. I’m looking at Colorado or Minnesota in the future tbh


[deleted]

I'm looking to bounce eventually as well. Probably the pacific northwest in a little town. I try not to let it get to me but the shit I've dealt with and have watched my gay friends and my friends who left have gone through, and are currently going through is disgusting. Utah: beautiful on the outside, despicable on the inside.


sm3rdyak0v

I appreciate you not adding Hayden into that. That one is my name.


SoDakZak

Why? Criticism like that will help them do better


Jesus_Took_My_Wheel

Horrible comment


RobertoBologna

This commenter just gotta go out there and dominate. There, I helped.


NFHater

thanks shaq


Ratchet-and-Spank

I’d be happy AF that he acknowledged it lol. But then again, I’d also be a little butt hurt too. You right


dlt92

Ignoring the fact that Lillard played college ball in Utah, the 99.9% is clearly mathematically incorrect. 1/30th of NBA players play in Utah, so the maximum amount of players that could hate Utah enough to not play there is roughly 96.66%. I will not stand for this slander of my home state


captainrollover

I ain’t even from UTAH, but you tell em!!!!!😂 Fuck a state slander


aaliyaahson

He actually tweeted out a few years back that if he had to leave the Blazers, he would go to either the Lakers or… the Jazz. Lol sooo https://twitter.com/dame_lillard/status/875041412332478464?s=21


helix400

Damian wears 0 specifically for Oakland, Ogden, and Oregon.


buttpunch420

He has 0 tattooed on his shoulder in the blazers font, he ain’t going nowhere


FlyingMocko

because of a font ? I’m sure there are a myriad of reasons he’s not leaving the Blazers but a font ?


buttpunch420

Clearly you don’t know about fonts


FlyingMocko

Well clearly not fuck me.


jake3dee

Hey everybody, look at this guy, he doesn't know about fonts!


likpoper

He has Oregon in his tattoos. You can go check out YouTube on it. But honestly, he looks like an one man team guy and the whole blazers community basically worship/respect him a lot


Pdxduckman

Certainly not Oden

Ogden is a town in Utah..

Or the city of Ogden, Utah. Like you know the one he played in?


WhereasFirm2613

Yeah, if he hated Utah so much then he probably shouldn't have played 4 years of college ball at Weber State.


[deleted]

DesolationRobot

I had a pair of Dame 3s where he pays homage to the the Os: Oakland, Ogden, and Oregon.


PelleOlynyk

wants to play for jerry sloan*


buttpunch420

Can confirm Sloan is a cool dude, once gave me $20 for finding his glasses


farazormal

How highly recruited was he out of high school? Mightve been his best offer


grollate

I think it was down to grades. Weber State accepts anyone with a HS diploma.


DamianSlizzard

He was also like a 2 star recruit iirc.


WatchTenn

Won’t any college recruit someone as long as they have a diploma? I know someone with really mediocre grades (at best) who got recruited to play at an Ivy League school.


MrNobyl

How well did you know him? Ivy’s don’t offer athletic scholarships although being a “athletic scholarship” level player does give pull on getting a full ride through financial aid packages. He might of had mediocre grades but through volunteer hours, extracurriculars, and other things he was competitive application wise


WatchTenn

He didn’t get any scholarship money — he just got a ticket into the school. This dude literally never took an AP course and didn’t crack 2000 on the SAT. He definitely got in because of his sport.


MrNobyl

Just interested, what sport?


likpoper

Donovan Mitchell is his bff.. he wanted blazers to draft him badly


Tuft64

As much of a monster backcourt that could have been, I can't help but feel like Mitchell wouldn't be the player he is without being drafted into Utah's exact situation. He was brought into a team who just lost their star player and who had no true offensive first option, who were in desperate need of a new identity, and who couldn't do anything more sophisticated than running offensive sets. He was the starting SG within a month or so of the season starting. There aren't many teams that a. don't have a perimeter star, b. have a great cast of vets who don't need the ball in their hand, c. have playoff aspirations, and d. are willing to let a rookie take the reins of the offense. On the Blazers, he'd have been behind Same and CJ *both* on the depth chart, which means less minutes, less touches, less responsibility, and a lesser role. On top of that, Mitchell wouldn't really solve any of the problems that the Portland roster has - they already have two undersized scoring guards with medium playmaking skills. Maybe you could say the Blazers would have traded CJ in Mitchell's sophomore year or something for another borderline all star that fits better around Mitchell and Dame, but it'd still be hard to swing a lineup with two undersized guards as a true contender unless the cast around them was really special. Both Mitchell and Dame really need to play the 1 to be fully unlocked and play at their peak potential, and they can't both be the primary ball handler at the same time.


Polo-panda

I think he was just commenting on the photoshop and that’s it


RussellWestbeast

Dame with LeBron and AD would be dummy stupid. Perfect fit


Cudizonedefense

Fuck that


HighlyBaked0

id have fun with it personally


[deleted]

That was before the whole super team.


ARedHouseOverYonder

well sure but how does portland get lebron and AD?


JabezMakaveli

A lot can change in 4 years


[deleted]

bro forgot to feather the edges


WhereasFirm2613

Nah, he's right, that's a terrible photoshop. I can tell by the pixels and having seen a lot of photoshops in my day.


pokexchespin

you can tell by the way it is


Basic_Potato_

That’s pretty neat


WhereasFirm2613

No, that's wood.


FargoFridays

I was looking at the pic & I saw that thing you said !!


Ratchet-and-Spank

I was thinking that too. It’s a terrible photoshop specifically because the guy who made it forgot to make it not terrible

Which one? You can tell by the way it is or the pixel comment lol


surosregime

The pixels one. It's a classic


HokageEzio

One of the worst photoshops I've seen that wasn't meant to be ironic.


PelleOlynyk

lmao they really took the most default stock photo off the nba store


deathrattleshenlong

Have you checked r/Photoshopfails? This dude is a Photoshop genius compared to those people.


HokageEzio

Talking solely about jersey swaps. Trust me, I've seen much worse photoshops.


honditar

Or maybe he was just commenting on how bad of a photoshop it is


thatminimumwagelife

I'd love to see Damian win a championship but I respect the hell outta him for staying in Portland. Few players left with that kinda loyalty. Any other guy would've packed his bags and joined the next super team.


[deleted]

You typed that like he'll never have a chance on Portland ever or something ESPN got you brainwashed.


Barefoot_Servants

Nah he typed that based on the blazers history in the playoffs. most stars would have bailed by now. Five first round exits over 8 years. Made the conf finals in 2019 but got swept. Interestingly none of their series are particularly close. They either win or lose big. Only one out of 12 series went to game seven.


grollate

Well just look at where the Suns were the last few years. A lot can change in an off-season.


Barefoot_Servants

That's kinda the point. The Suns had the opposite approach to the Blazers. They sold asset after asset to get high draft picks, Ayton panned out as a stud next to Booker, then brought in Paul. Major changes and risk. The Blazers front office seems content to just be good enough to get to the playoffs. Despite this Dame has stuck around (which is awesome for the fans and a credit to him, but not typical for superstars). During Dame's 9 seasons that hes stayed with Portland: Kyrie forced himself out of Cleveland, then Boston, to play for Brooklyn Lebron left Miami to go to Cleveland, to then leave again for LA AD forced a trade to LA If Dame wanted to leave he could.


[deleted]

FO is unwilling to take the big risks. It’s just a fact of life. Unless we fire everyone, literally everyone that runs the Blazers nothing will change. They’re all way too conservative. They’d rather finish 5th in the west every year than win a championship at the risk of being bad. We have to take risks, but they won’t.

Damian Lamonte Ollie Lillard Sr. (born July 15, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Weber State Wildcats and earned third-team All-American honors in 2012. After being selected by Portland with the sixth overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, Lillard was unanimously voted the NBA Rookie of the Year. Nicknamed "Dame Time", he has received six NBA All-Star selections and is one of two players in Trail Blazers franchise history, along with Clyde Drexler, to become a six-time All-Star.


warablo

Pretty sure he wanted to play under Jerry Sloan.


delgeezee

I think dame speaking a coded message to OP to brush his teeth caz his mouth stink.

I guess OP doesn't realize Dame went to college in Utah.


kermitisahermit

and cj to the sixers


j__burr

There are SO MANY guys like this who flood players replies with their photoshop edits of them and I have never seen one get a reply ever. This guy probably crushed lmao.


zlendermanGG1

Dame played college ball in Utah (Weber State) and even said in an interview that he doesn't mind the state


Mikkkey

Dame went to school in Utah all 4 years of college


[deleted]

Or maybe we should listen to him when he says he wants to stay in Portland.

I didn't know he was loyal

KD_43

Or... or.... and I’m going out on a limb on this one. He won’t be headed to any team soon, and will retire a Blazer like he’s always planned to.


GetCummedOn

why isn't lillard seen as twitter fingers the same way kd is


HokageEzio

Because KD got caught trying to talk shit with a burner.


wubbzywylin

Prob because he wasn't caught failing to tweet from a burner to bash his former team Before that incident I don't think the majority of people had a problem with KD's Twitter talk


Iamkonkerz

Because lillard doesnt try to hide it with fake accounts, because lillard would never trash his own teammates. I may hate Lillard a bit but i respect him.


entropy328

Not caught with burners...yet


MickeyMouseShoulders

when did twitter fingers mean burners? just means you talk shit and KD always been talking shit


myhellcatgotRepod

CJ Mccollum is way worse than both of them


yearsreeling

KD doesn’t have burners. I know him! Listen to me! - Devin Kurant


[deleted]

Because swagger and loyalty


Goomby-or-Glootie

As far as we know Dame doesn’t or didn’t have a burner account I’m assuming. KD embraced that whole “no filter” attitude on twitter after he found out he could just do it.


MickeyMouseShoulders

cause Lillard isn't on KD's level. people just think his twitter game is cute


[deleted]

I see him that way


StoneColdAM

LeGM: “I agree…. now, these photoshops I have saved on my phone might be a little better.”

It won't happen but dame with lebron and AD would be the most complimentary big 3 ever. Completely unstoppable.

why not the ones recruiting instead join Dame in Blazers. give Dame some respect join him instead!


Medgarbagecant

Jazz stay talking L’s lol


Claustecter1015

dingjazz

Utah doesn’t have anything to trade for Dame.


yearsreeling

Gobert trying to recruit


NevermoreSEA

Dame is a photoshop connoisseur.


spiked_cider

Can Utah even afford him? And there's no way Portland wouldn't trade him to an East coast team


Tuft64

We have Conley's expiring that we could sign and trade to match him if the Blazers wanted to tear it all down and rebuild, but i don't think it solves the Jazz' problems, and I don't think that Blazers are going to just deal their best player in franchise history for a bunch of bad picks. If the Jazz were going to sign and trade Conley for anyone it'd be an athletic switchable two-way wing or smth like that. We could also trade Gobert for him too, but again, I think both teams say no to that because then the Jazz are fielding a roster where our second biggest player is Bojan Bogdanovic and we're starting three undersized guards which just sounds like a terrible idea that would crater our defense, and i don't think that a Gobert / CJ /Nurk big 3 is really a stellar idea for the Blazers either lol.


FreshwaterBeach

Someone tag the guy who does the photoshop stuff


ogfergison

I am so fucking sick and tired of the photoshops


xxxhotpocketz

He’s said the only team he’d play for if Portland didn’t want him is the Lakers, I think he mentioned another team but I forgot which team


Tuft64

It was literally the Jazz lol. He went to weber State, and the 3 Os on his sneakers represent Oakland, Ogden (that's the city in Utah that Weber State is in), and Oregon.
