[Damian Lillard] “RipCity Forever ❤️… Dame Time has run out 🫡”

​

Heartfelt goodbye by Dame. As a younger Blazer fan, Dame has been the Blazers for my entire fandom. Really sad to see him go, but excited to see him win a ring and I wouldn’t trade the memories he’s created for anything 🙂

    It’s about Dame Time

    Took all Dame off-season

    > “I do believe a day will come where I put a Blazers uniform on again, and hopefully by then I’ll be forgiven for breaking your hearts along with my own.”

    Holy fuck what a goodbye

  3. NevermoreSEA

    This is a really beautiful goodbye. I’ll definitely still be rooting for Dame to succeed in Milwaukee.

    We are all looking for the guy responsible for this!

    Damian Lillard is a special person. He is the best Blazer of all time, but the part that is truly special is everything else he does. Time will tell if the Blazers made the correct move in trading for him. The same cannot be said for RIP City.

  6. Parenegade

    best goodbye a player has ever delivered.

  7. Sportacles

    One of the few of these I actually believe the guy wrote himself

    The part about the local media was cool, and underlines the no-mention of Cronin a bit lol

  8. Hits much harder after knowing he wanted to come back.

    I do wonder how this would’ve been received if he had forced his way to Miami for a low offer, but I feel like this has worked out perfectly for Dame, the Blazers and the Bucks.

    Not a Blazers fan, but I didn’t like the way he and his agent were trying to manipulate the trade market, but he has otherwise always been class, and it’s good to see that show again now.

    lmao not giving a shoutout to canzano my man 🤝

    Keeping it real though dame. You still make Oakland proud. Feel for Portland fans. Keep your head up fam!

  12. God damn man I love that dude. Milwaukee I hope you are prepared to wind your clocks and be ready for us stoned weepy blazers fans in your sub come playoffs

  13. anteater_x

    Signed the contract, took the money, and went back on his word. Some of us ain’t fooled, Dame.

  14. ThePaul_Atreides

    🥲🥲 just wish the exit hadn’t been as public

  15. New_Essay_4869

    Yessir! Portland got a future to be excited for and Dame is in a great spot to win it all now

  16. kimchitacoman

    My prediction: Scoot will ball out and make it easier on the fans

  17. RagerTheSailor

    Oh NOW y’all like Dame again lol

  18. RVAIsTheGreatest

    For the hard feelings Dame may have for the front office, I never once thought that extended to the fanbase and the Blazers as a representation. They will always be his team at heart.

  19. averageveryaverage

    That’s a really classy statement. Respect to Dame.

  20. SureEntertainment676

    I’m so glad we don’t have to deal with this mf more than twice a year now

  21. manbare

    Holy shit I was not expecting anything that emotional this got me feelin some shit

  22. HoyaDestroya33

    At least you know it came from Dame. Nice to see. Not like that generic Kawhi goodbye to San Antonio letter lol

  23. Awkward_4472

    Best to you Dame, thank you for the great memories.

  24. leverkusenschlekt

    I think in a few years and with the benefit of hindsight people will end up being more sympathetic towards him.

  25. SevenHunnet3Hi5s

    man this is weird, gotta feel for blazers fans. i really hope the dude just wins a ring asap and comes back home. seeing him in any jersey except the blazers just doesn’t feel right. and we say this for every star who gets traded but this one just hits *different* the dude’s spent nearly a decade in portland. i’ve spent a third of my life knowing dame as a trailblazer. when you think of dame you think of all those crazy shots and memories he made in red and black. seeing him in dark green in milwaukee with giannis is gonna take a long time to get used to. i don’t think i ever will honestly

    >but excited to see him win a ring
