The story of one Damian Lillard has not been fully written. The No. 6 overall pick of the Portland Trail Blazers out of Weber State back in 2012, this small-school product has been loyal to his organization in the Pacific Northwest.
He’s now being rewarded for it. Perhaps, we should say he is rewarding himself for that loyalty. Dame entered Monday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder needing 21 points to surpass Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler for the No. 1 spot on the Blazers’ all-time scoring list.
Lillard reached that plateau late in the third quarter after nailing a free throw to give him 18,041 career points with the Blazers.
