What’s it taught you about yourself this year? DAMIAN LILLARD: I think it’s taught me that when things go sideways for me, I feel the weight of it. I feel the weight of the hard times. But I always find a way. I’ve dealt with a lot—from having a blood clot, tearing my Achilles, being waived, being away from my kids and my family. I’ve had all those experiences all within the last year, and I just kept my head down. I had some hard days, some hard times, and I just kept pushing forward. God is always faithful. I don’t even know how we got to this day, but we got here through the grace of God. Now we move forward. I got here with my head held high, and still all in one piece. So I’m really excited about what’s to come—and also being back home in Portland.
