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.
