Portland Trail Blazers Public Address Announcer Mark Mason’s introduction of Damian Lillard during starting lineups Tuesday night didn’t linger too long. It certainly didn’t last 63 seconds. The Moda Center crowd gave a nice, loud cheer for the Portland legend who now plays point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, but there was no show-stopping, massive standing ovation.
For his part, Lillard didn’t stop to acknowledge the warm reception or greet it with a heart sign. He dapped up his teammates while Mason announced Doc Rivers as Milwaukee’s head coach, and the proceedings of the night carried on.
