Yes, you heard it here first. Many Blazer fans ask me how he will impact the league and I simply tell them: The landscape of the NBA has changed for the better. Portland will now be able to overcome various obstacles (true fans know what I mean by this, dare I say the word) in order to win the NBA championship.
Prior to the NBA draft I told our organization to draft this kid. And, well they did. Not saying it was totally my decision because I knew that our organization will always make the best move. Aside from one bust, Greg Oden. But we all know Greg Oden would have been something hadn't the league taken action on him. But that is another story.
Lets stick to the main topic, Damian Lillard. Yes, there will be haters (I personally call them jealous fan boys) but there will also be lovers. He may possibly be able to fill the gigantic hole Roy left in our hearts (unintentionally of course).
If you want to know more of the great rookie, please take the time to watch the following videos. You will jump the bandwagon one day, whether you have already, or after you seen the videos, you will one day.
He is already the most athletic player in the league. He has a solid jumpshot (which can easily be worked on) and tremendous passing ability. His passing ability is overlooked because his teammates at a tier 2 college were, well AWFUL. He has great lateral movement, hence his defensive ability which led him to easy buckets.

I've spoken with him, he is a very well mannered kid. Something we like in Portland. I can assure you he isn't a whiny bitch like Dwight Howard, he isn't a thug like JR Smith and Chris Anderson (also a pedophile), and he is also not like Kobe, a rapist. He is more like Brandon Roy.

If Howard was a member of the Portland Trailblazers i'd guarantee that you be sucking him dry.
