Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard admits he has a picture on the wall at his house of his face which became a meme following his game-winner against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2019 playoffs.
In case you forgot what picture we're talking about, here's a friendly reminder:

“I already have it. It's on the wall,” Lillard told Omar Raja of House of Highlights. “It's like paintings, but they're like really nice paintings and they look like pictures. And I have like the Houston Rockets one…they're like staggered and I got the same thing like this…where I'm shootin' it, and then when I wave it, and I got this (the meme).”
Damian Lillard scored 50 points in Game 5 against the Thunder and sent OKC home with that epic walk-off 3-pointer which was from nearly half court.
The Blazers superstar now has two walk-off shots on his postseason résumé. The first one, of course, was against the Rockets in the 2014 playoffs.
Lillard signed a five-year, $196 million maximum contract extension with the Blazers this summer. The All-Star wants to retire in Portland and has no interest in forming a superteam elsewhere.
Lillard is the second-leading scorer in Blazers franchise history. He’s currently 5,131 points behind Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler.
