One thing that many of the fans overlook is the hard work players put in. While some may put it out to the public, there is still a lot that goes on behind the scenes. Likewise, one such player is Damian Lillard. He is constantly working hard and this off-season is no different.

Probably the most discussed player in the off-season this year, Dame had everyone on their feet. Not only did he seem extremely frustrated after being eliminated from the playoffs last year, but it also looked like he would be interested in a change of scenery. However, it seems like he will remain in Portland, at least until his contract is up.

Dame has been the face of the Trailblazers for quite some time. His performances in the playoffs have earned him respect all around the league. Most notably, his record-breaking 55 points against Denver was a thing of magic, but he can’t do those things without putting in the work.
