We can officially confirm Portland Trailblazers guard Damian Lillard as yet another NBA player that just “gets it”. The reigning Rookie of the Year was shopping Wednesday night in Portland, when a high school-aged fan approached him to pose for a photo. Unfortunately, there was a bit of miscommunication between Lillard and the young fan, so the photo op took a little longer to come together. We’ll just let Twitter tell the story:
A high school kid wanted To take a pic with me … I said not right now let me finish shopping. I feel bad now
