What they didn't show is that fans gave him 2 more standing ovations after that 1st one. During the commercials, they honored him twice. And they cheered almost all of his made shots.
That’s special…
It was pretty much the same with CJ, but he only got one tribute video, and tickets to that first game back for CJ weren't overpriced AF.
@@chrissimmons9743in fairness, I love CJ but Dame was the town hero, no comparison
Even a standing O when the Bucks first came out & started pre-game layup line. He is missed! One of a kind. I hope he gets his ring & comes home & retires as a Blazer like he always planned 🤞
i was right in front of him the second standing ovation while he was on the floor pretty sure he teared up
People in Portland show real class and appreciation...they are special people up there.
It's the only big 3 we've got and Dame really was something special to us. His attitude, his drive, his confidence in himself and his teammates... I know other PNW sports fans can see similarities in him and Marshawn Lynch. Both from Oakland, and both carrying themselves like they can lose, but can't nobody beat them.
Heat fans gave the same Ovation to D-Wade when he returned and he was on the Bulls, same with LeBron same with Jordan when he came back to Chicago after being on the Wizards and countless others. So stop it it has nothing to do with Portland fans
Respect…..
🎉😂@@xTBCGx😂p😂
@@SlimKim3 And again, you are wrong. Fool.
He will always be a Trailblazer at ❤️ I hope Dame gets a ring he more than deserves it
Game was rigged 11point fav losing to the bad news bears nba is so rigged
@@mikejohn7273they just sucked that game, that’s the way it goes
he aint getting a ring bro
Portland loves Dame, and Dame loves Portland. The Blazers organization was the 3rd wheel here.
exactly.
Oregonians will always support this man!
i was at the game, it’s was at least 4-5x louder than the video can convey and any true portland fan was on their feet. every shot/drive dame took the building was waiting to erupt. truly a wonderful experience having the legend himself back in the rose garden. forever loved by the city of portland ❤
100% true. The TV broadcasts didn’t do it justice. It was so loud in the arena. Moda center matched Dame’s level of class, respect & appreciation last night 👏
Well deserved. Always been a Lillard fan. Solid dude on and off the court.
NBA is fixed totally rigged worst shots defense I ever seen bucks tanked on purpose brook lopez stinks worst player giannis never gets the ball this game its rigged
He was very loyal to them
I hope if and when he goes in the HOF he goes in as a Blazer.
NBA is totally fixed
he will
@@mikejohn7273chill cuh
He already said he's coming back
@@mikejohn7273
It's scripted like the NFL
Classy fans ⌚️
As a Blazer fan I wasn’t sure how the fans there would react. Glad it was like this ❤️
how beautiful was that.
Dame is better than jrue
Come back anytime dame
He already said he is
Class crowd, class reaction and class player/person.
0:31 looks like he is holding back tears, we feel the same emotion Dame! Come back to Portland.
“Wearing the letter O” is dope
For sure! Oden Oakland Oregon
Solid guy on & off the court who let’s his work do the most of the talking
That is what its bout how respect and love he was in Portland
Class personified
As he deserves 🔥
That’s love. W player, W fans
I LOVE OUR FANBASE
Very classy unlike other cities we've all seen act.
Melo, Lebron, KD, PG, Kawhi all left great situations and quit on their teams. Lillard gave his prime to Portland, and Portland could not get a team around him. Westbrook and Lillard will always get love in OKC and Portland, probably Beal to some degree in DC. Just like KG will always be loved in Minny.
@@Turk_2023 as an OKC fan, all ya have to do is look at how we treat Russ compared to KD
Nice to see a crowd appreciate the good times. Dame gave everything to Portland and he didn't want to leave, but he knew Portland wasn't putting him the right players to get the ring. Dame never would have left if Portland could have landed some added talent, instead they drafted a top guard.
I agree 👍
Dame Time forever
Much deserved
we miss you
Just came from the Game it was a classic
It is always be Damian Lillard team forever
Thats awesome
Class! He deserves that!
Well deserved
Miss this guy!
Respect earned
LOVE, Full of love. I am really happy that Portland have ever had this a great person.
This is amazing
I think when it's all said and done he'll come back home to y'all
Portland Trail Blazers love their players and even if they leave , the love doesn’t go away. Respect Damian
U can tell that ovation meant the world to him plus he deserved it so I’m glad Portland gave him that moment
In my eyes he will always be a Portland Trailblazer
and hopefully will be again sometime in the future.
Imagine if that was Philly or Chicago crowd. Portland showed class.
As a life long Portlander and Blazer fan, this is exactly right.. On and off court, Dame is special and I'll a!ways be grateful for his time here. He deserves a ring and I hope he gets his. Logo Lillard!!
He needs to go back they love him
That's dope
Goat
Beautiful...🎉
I hope he’s forever introduced in Portland as the letter O
Fantastic!!!!
See what happens when you are loyal! U don’t get boo’d when u are a real one
The Greatest player to dawn a Blazer uniform ! Know that if you're a great player/person you'll always be loved in Portland,OR.
It's unfortunate that we couldn't get anyone to come join Dame in Portland to get a ring and be so loved by this Fan base.
We have the classiest fans in the NBA and Dame did everything he could to get us a Championship.
Imagine being a Buck teammate at this moment.
True love ❤
Dame is ALWAYS a Blazer
We love Dame. He deserves this from us. Wish our org could have done better by him and the fans.
DAME DOLLA!!!
Lillard a complete class act ❤❤❤❤
Looks like some of the fans were crying 😢
You Only get this Respect when you earn it 🔥🔥
Dame is the most loyal nba player dude could have been left.l but stayed years
I'm proud of Dame and the way we handled this as fans, stay classy Portland.
Good showing by the fans!!!
The only good thing about Dame leaving town is that now he has a chance for a trophy.
Yepp....hope he gets that deserving trophy...
This is some sentimental $#it !! Big props to Portland fans and D L.
Thats what you call an OVATION!!!❤
THAT'S LOVE. Good stuff Portland
As he should
That’s love
Love to see it
Thank you to Portland to welcoming him in a special way!
Nah he deserves it, bro was loyal and genuinely cared about the city.
its like when you see your ex with someone better than you.... heartbreak
Ain’t nun change we still love dis guy🤣
The jail blazers were a black eye to a once proud organization. It's good to see how times have changed.
Passing up mj gave them a legendary black eye that will never heal
@TheZealotofJudah they passed up KD as well 🤯🤦
@@spurstilidie4637 And some of the good players they draft ended up getting hurt
@@TheZealotofJudah yeah Brandon Roy comes to mind
It was a league of big men in those days. No shame in picking Sam.
Good people 🔥😊
Blazers response after this game“The future is now, old man”😅😅
Hopefully Portland builds a team and gets him back there for a chip run
Portland you guys are the coolest fans in the ligue. Many others fans would have booed him. But Dame deserved the standing O.
Wow I just look at this and see a classy fan base.. love this for Dame. But when I watched lions fans disrespecting stafford a few weeks ago, it's says enough about those fans 100%.
That was a playoff game. This just another regular season game. With way less on the line.
Hope my boi win the chip
Classy
Anyone can provide me name of the beat that is playing in the background?
“The letter O” is crazy
Boy stayed loyal
Shows how much Lillard really meant to the Portland fans. He never won a championship there but the fans love him like he did. Kawhi Leonard won a championship and Finals MVP with the Spurs and when he returns he gets booed so bad Gregg Popovich has to get a Mike to tell fans to shutup.😂😂 Kawhi gets similar cheers to Lillard in Toronto after he won another championship and Finals MVP there in the best one and done nba season in nba history. He treated his time in Canada like a college season.
Oregon fans are class act
Dame pure class, Portland fans pure unadulterated, triple distilled class. Then come to comments section beautiful opener, then all the bitter Miami fans and people with sports gambling problems filled with Rage commenting. lol.
Dame is all the proof one needs to understand how bad the Blazers organization is. Dame preached loyalty about a team that never tried to compete with him.
#GuruBasketballKieroSays WELL DESERVED
Folks in Portland know they had to pry Dame out of the city. I’m sure they’ll be hanging his jersey in a few years.
dudes gonna have a statue
You know that jersey gone hang in that stadium
The letter O????
Letter O represents Oakland Oregon Ogden,Utah
I always thought he wore the Number 0 not the Letter O 🤯
Crazy to think he would ever have to return to Portland
Classy fanbase
Portland is built different
Team Milwaukee
I know Cronin ain't court side clapping when he tries him like that
How it should be. Not like Detroit booing Stafford.
Fans appreciated Lillard. Not just like spurs keeps booing Kawhi Leonard
He was very loyal to them and he lost😂
When Drexler returned after the Rockets trade, it’s was 3-4 times louder and twice as long.
Lmao cope harder dame still the best blazer ever
@@angelclouds3233 He scored more points. He hasn’t done anything to show he’s better. Not a better rebounder, defender, playmaker, hasn’t one anything significant. My favorite player the last decade, but not better than Drexler.
I’m not crying ur crying
