Just finished reading the online interview with Dame after last nights victory. This guy is one amazing individual and athlete.
He does nothing for ‘show’ - he is positive and looks at every situation from a team standpoint. Everyone should read the article and understand what really drives a quality individual to excellence.
He is the exact opposite of the ‘hey, look at me’ athletes.
I don’t think I have ever read such an amazing perspective from an elite level athlete before.
What an outstanding human being.

Well, there's Dame, all class, and then there's Westbrook (or whatever). Two opposite ends of the spectrum!! |

Glove no love for Dame :-( Russell westbrook shoots 5 for 21 and then just says I don't know or I'm not sure when asked about the game. Oklahoma city fans have it bad. They have to live in oklahoma city and this guy is the face of their franchise. |

Dame should be getting the love and the press - everywhere. Guy is such a role model.

I really, really wish this series was Portland vs the Seattle SuperSonics.. The Dame vs Westbrook rivalry would be on another level around these parts. /cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/25043631/drexler_450.0.jpg) |

Clyde the Glide vs. GP - gotta love it! Other than Walton, several of the vintage Blazer players were stand up guys  |

Well, that was one of the best NBA games I’ve seen in a long time. Dame from 40 ft for 50 pts and shuts up the Thunder.

I don't go to many NBA games, for many reasons, but every once in a while I take my son to random games... Figured a game 5, potential close out game would be worth it and he loves going... and we both can't stand RW (and now the way PG similarly acts). I'm not sure I've seen a better performance when a player's teammates were collectively suffering off nights. That the officials seemed to be blatantly concerned with getting this to game 6 only magnified the will and heart of team that could have easily folded the tent. Better than normal traffic at 3pm to Beaverton Central, uncrowded MAX to Pioneer Sq, great happy hour food and drink at the Yardhouse, absolutely great game, key plays from multiple players down the stretch, and then "BOMBS AWAY"! Great great night! *Throat is suffering today though! |

Great great night! *Throat is suffering today though! Good point about paul george. He is a follower, not a leader. He doesn't run his mouth like Westbrook but carries the same disrespectful attitude, at one point last night he just ignored his Coach trying to tell him something and went to one of the assistants for counsel. Too bad, he used to show some class. |
