NBA ALL-STAR WEEKENDFebruary 13, 2015Damian LillardNEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK Q. Before you got your own shoe, would you consider yourself a sneaker-head? DAMIAN LILLARD: Not really. I don't follow all every shoe. I see what I like. Q. Are you wearing sneakers? DAMIAN LILLARD: I'm wearing my shoes. Q. March is Women's History Month, is there a woman, not a relative, in history that has inspired you? DAMIAN LILLARD: Rosa Parks. Q. And why? DAMIAN LILLARD: For standing up for herself. It's the best thing. In the world we live in it's big to stand up and speak for yourself. That gesture by her had such a huge time in our history. People don't give it as much credit as it's worth. Q. What's the story behind your number? DAMIAN LILLARD: I wear No. 0 because I'm from Oakland. I went to school in Ogden, Utah. And now I'm playing in Oregon. Q. What is it like to be a replacement All-Star? Was it hard for you to accept it after the fact you weren't selected originally? DAMIAN LILLARD: No, because I expressed how I feel about it. The opportunity came regardless of how it came. I felt like I had earned the right to be a part of it. So that was kind of after. There was nothing to be gained acting like I didn't want to be here because I didn't get picked right away. At the end of the day I'm here. I'm thankful for that. Q. (Inaudible) . DAMIAN LILLARD: I think this one -- before I got put on the team it hurt a little bit more because I didn't make it. Like I said, it all worked out. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
