    While Terrence Jones is stomping on homeless people, Damian Lillard is being a generous dude.

    Same thing happened to me with Carl Landry, except he completely brushed me off.

    So I did the only reasonable thing and shot him in the leg.

    I met Lillard at the All Star Game in Houston... Asked him for a picture, and he said no straight up. I guess he's grown up.

    Agree... this is pretty cool. Vast majority of NBA players would never have thought twice about not reconnecting with the kid.

    Very nice of him....and the right attitude, maybe he can teach our 18th pick in the first round last year how to deal with people.

    Think he's making a P for Portland.

    I didn't know media asked for interviews on Twitter. He has reporters asking him to DM his #.

    I appreciate someone putting forth the effort for some positive pr... rather than not giving a sh** or being a jerk getting negative pr (ie Jones).

    If you can't respect the mans actions... I don't know what to tell ya....

    Feels like a total PR move. Maybe I would feel differently if it was the kid that posted the picture, not Lillard himself. It is a nice gesture by him though.
