With his offseason coming earlier than he wanted, Damian Lillard now has more time to relax himself. He recently took to his Twitter account and held a Q&A with his fans to answer some questions they have for him.
From his inspiration to make his own rap album, his favorite boxers, to his thoughts on some of the league's players, the 26-year-old Weber State product answered them all.
However, what surprised many was his response to one of his followers who suggested he needs to leave the Portland Trail Blazers to win a championship. Lillard answered it by showing his immense loyalty to the city.
I'm willing to not win it. If I can't build it where I am. https://t.co/u6AzTx208Z

The two-time All-Star point guard also gave a whole new meaning to “Rip City,” as for him, the first word of it stood for something.

The Portland faithful can definitely consider this as good news as their franchise player is showing this amount of loyalty and love for their city.
After getting swept by the Golden State Warriors in the first round, Blazers fans are hoping it motivates Lillard and his teammates to play even better next season to make a deeper run in the playoffs. If the team's front office could bring in more talent, it will be a huge boost to their chances of not just making another postseason appearance, but also to potentially contend for a title.
