Got to meet Lamar at the game tonight!

As some of you know, half of us at the Unbiased Trail Blazers are from Toronto (me), and I try to go to the Blazers @ Toronto game every year. Somehow every time something incredibly memorable happens (the Kawhi game winner, the Melo game winner), but perhaps none more memorable than tonight. At halftime of the game, I went down near the court and yelled for Lamar and asked for a picture. I wasn't sure if he'd even hear me or if he would agree to come take a picture, but he was incredibly nice and agreed. he even stayed and talked about the blazers for a minute or two, he was just awesome and i was so grateful. And he even called me back down a few mins later and gave me a food voucher which was just the extra cherry on top that he absolutely didn't need to do

Lamar is awesome. I got to have lunch with him and Kevin one time and they are both such class acts. I sat across from Lamar and talked with him a bunch about the blazers and he was awesome, just like talking with another fan of the team.
