But as long as Damian Lillard makes the cut, I'm cool with it. I thought, after seeing a routine play from a defenseless exhibition game at No. 8, that Lillard's Las Vegas Summer League posterization might make the list. But the NBA went more tradition, opting for Dame's game-winner against the Horn

The Trail Blazers shine under the bright lights of New York, and pull the upset. Lillard wasn't the only hero for Portland, even though his shot was the loudest. Nic Batum continued this streak of consistent play, and finished with 26 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds.

As Trail Blazers fans, it’s tough to see one of our players fall to the floor and writhe in pain. We saw it earlier this season with Wesley Matthews—who is still recovering from a strained hip flexor—and unfortunately we saw it again tonight during Portland’s 89-85 defeat of the Philadelphia 76ers.

ESPN, The Magazine's "Next" issue comes out next week, and it's second-year point guard Kyrie Irving, not Damian Lillard, who gets the cover (though be on the lookout for Lillard adorning the cover of a different magazine very soon).

One can practically watch him adapt his game to different situations and obstacles in real-time, triggering a common reaction of awe from onlookers. But ho
