Slept On
The phrase “slept on” is a slang term for someone or
something that doesn’t get the credit that they/it deserves. This perfectly describes Damian Lillard. The Portland Trailblazers star point man is
slept on. He was the sixth overall pick
in the 2012 NBA draft and went to become the Rookie of the Year. His game has improved consistently over the
years and he has been able to pull the Blazers out of a slump after the loss of
all-star Brandon Roy to injury. He has
led them to the playoffs and has some amazing records.
Though the media and NBA at large doesn’t cover a lot of
stories about the young guard. Most
stories these days are plastered with the faces of the Warriors and the
Cavaliers. But watch this young man this
upcoming 2016-17 season. With some other
great young players around him, Rip City will be a team in the West to watch
out for. And with this young man leading
the way, they’ll be a force to be reckoned with.
