Dame Delivers Impassioned Thoughts about his Shooting Slump

Damian Lillard has never been one to shy away from the media. Whether he’s lighting teams up from 30 feet and beyond, or struggling mightily from the field, he’s going to sit down and let us know what he thinks about it all.

His recent cold streak to begin the season is unlike anything else we’ve seen from the Trail Blazers’ All-NBA point guard. Bobby Marks shared some numbers on Twitter:

Damian Lillard is now 3-29 from 3 on the road.

11-34 at home

Despite how deep this slump is for Dame, he still took the time to sit down and answer everybody’s questions. While many would give shot, shallow answers, Lillard wore his heart on his sleeve.

Tim Bontemps shared Lillard’s quote on Twitter:

This was Damian Lillard’s full answer when asked if he sees getting out of his current shooting slump is a “challenge.” Pretty remarkable answer — and after talking about his struggles for 10-plus minutes before that, too. pic.twitter.com/WRW9JOPNSC
