"Gives me chills about how it happened": Damian Lillard reflects on journey from Oakland to an NBA superstar

Damian Lillard has already been pegged as a future Hall of Famer and has been one of the greatest sharpshooters of his generation. The 'Dame Time' moniker comes after his clutch gene saw him win countless games for the Portland Trail Blazers and the Milwaukee Bucks.

In a recent interview with The Athletic, the All-Star guard reflected on the success he's had since his formative ball years in Oakland.

“When I think about my journey, it wasn’t like everybody was on me because I was supposed to do what I’ve done. I was a regular kid. They knew I was good at basketball, but none of this was expected. So when I kind of think back on it, I always remind myself of how important the journey is. Everybody will look at where I am now, but when I think about the moments of the journey, that’s what gives me chills sometimes about how it happened.”

Now, the Bucks star will hope that he can find his mojo as Milwaukee look to make a deeper run in the postseason. Only time will tell if Damian Lillard can lead the side to a championship and win his first ring.
