Almost a year ago, Damian Lillard became a father. And just recently, in an interview with SB Nation’s Paul Flannery, the Portland Trail Blazers star spoke about how this new role off-the-court has affected his mindset as an NBA player.
Flannery mentioned Lillard’s son and asked how he felt his birth has changed the All-NBA guard. Lillard said:
“It’s changed me as a person in that I just don’t carry stuff like I used to…
[…] Obviously it’s my career so you think about stuff, but it’s just not in my mind who the best point guard is and all the stuff that I once cared about.
