Live Bar, September 21st news recently, pioneer star Damian-Lillard was interviewed by Andscape famous Marc J. Spears, during which he talked about what happened when Lillard just signed a rookie contract.
Spears asked, “in 2012, you were selected by the pioneer in the sixth place and signed the rookie contract. What else can you remember about that time?”
Lillard said: “The feeling at that time was that I could change my family’s life, especially my mother’s life. I am already a millionaire, so the first thing I do is to go to the place where my mother works, tell her to resign now and help her pack up her personal belongings. My thought at that time was: ‘They have been bad to you all the time, and they are holding on to even trivial things. We won’t come back. However, what I care more about is basketball. I will do what I should do and what I shouldn’t do. I stick to this principle, and then train hard and perform well, no matter what happens next.”
Spears asked, “Is it great to let your mother quit her job?”
Lillard: “To be honest, that was one of the best moments for me. In my last year of college, I told her that I was going to take part in the draft. At that time, we would call at least once every other day, and my mother would tell me how bad her work was. They were very picky about her work and threatened to fire her. She was under a lot of pressure at that time, and the heavy work also made her often sick. I have been trying to inspire her with my success, and I will tell her that ‘Celtics have trial training today. ”The Jazz team has a trial today. When I was finally chosen, I went home and went to the place where she worked together. We walked in and everyone knew that I had been chosen at that time, so they were all saying ‘Wow, Gina (mother Lillard), your son…… ‘How, how, and I just said: ‘We Quit! ‘”
