Damian Lillard spoke with Paul Flannery of SBNation last week about leading the Portland Trail Blazers. In the interview, Lillard outlines his priorities as the face of the team, including his change in perspective after becoming a father.
It’s changed me as a person in that I just don’t carry stuff like I used to. If I have a bad game and on TV they’re like, Dame went 6-for-20 and they lost. I’m just like, you know, whatever. It’s ok, bro. You know what I’m saying?
Lillard also discusses the impact working with Special Olympics has had on his life, and how the current state of the NBA is different from what he considers important.
