- It’s Dame Time on this week’s episode of Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles. The Trail Blazers superstar comes on to talk all things hoop, looking back on his meteoric rise from unknown high school player to small school star to one of the best in the NBA. Dame explains how he ended up at Weber State and why getting hurt during his junior year was the best thing for his career. Then Lillard takes it back to his getting drafted by Portland and why he refused to believe he was going to be a lottery pick until the moment his name was called. He gets into his growth in the league, what it was like to play with LaMarcus Aldridge and what could have been if LA had stayed in Portland. Dame also touches on CJ McCollum’s rise as a player and opens up about just how close the two of them are. Then he gets into how he learned to shoot so effectively from deep range and how that led to his epic walk-off shot against OKC in last year’s playoffs. The flow of the conversation then turns to Dame’s music, what it’s like to be close with Lil Wayne and how he started his rap career. Later on, the guys get into Dame’s self-surprising shoe deal, and he reveals what he first bought when he made it big and how he wanted to bring it back to the crib immediately. Damian Lillard is beast on and off the court and you won’t want to miss him sitting down with Q and D.

I prefer this and all the smoke over any espn interview
Yup.
@Rasul Daniels what u mean?
@Rasul Daniels gotta be a casual basketball fan
@@OnlyOne1Demon nah. He just a bitch. Even casuals know what's up.
Rasul Daniels do you feel the ESPN shows are better?
Knuckleheads, nochill, and all the smoke is killing the game right now. Mike Tyson podcast too
Don't forget drink champs proud of these dudes
#BlackExcellence
Sharieff Freeman you’re right
NoChill is garbage
Nochill is for the birds, Gil has a mental disorder
Dame living the ultimate Hood dream ... All Star, Rap Star, got his own shoe 💯
Topnotchryde88 has a degree in business..
Lol facts
Well said, but he ain't selling his people out to do it and he came from hard times like most of us ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Superstar*
Yeah... he has a degree not just a regular black man
Honestly guys do a collab with all the smoke just interview each other....that would be DOPE
Justin Grant 🔥 this would be so great for the culture.
Justin Grant Yooo that shit would be hella dope!!!!
All the knuckleheads crosscast
Swapcast!
And add Gil Shit and all 3 podcast collab. That would be epic..
Dame is just himself. You have to love someone who’s just real, laid back, honest and just themselves
Jonathan Torres 1000%. He really is.
This dude is so calm cool and collected
I see Dame as the future president of the Players Association 👌🏾
2 bad he cant rap
Probably jalen brown
@@bongwater7908 Why you lyin lolol
Well CJ is now the prez
Get Brandon Roy on here
Itll be a short interview just like his career
Jason Basco ignorant
Jason Basco WRONG
Jason Basco boooooooo!
Jason Basco thanks troll
Dam dame one of the most down to earth nba players ive ever seen. You wouldve never thought he was a multi millionaire by this dudes humbleness/personality. My guy.
No lie 💎
Man Knuckleheads and All The Smoke have top notch guests every week..best sport podcasts along with HotBoxing
OGGOAT_ _ pure facts my brother 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@sw4ggdavenportgaming542 appreciate 👌
ya this the best thing out the NBA the last 15yrs and that's saying something, Warriors super team was great, Same with Miami's, Bron been great, new young players are nice, Steph 3's went/go crazy, even more small ball, new faces taking over the league, Zion/Giannis new exciting type dominance but still all those things aren't leveled up from things we seen before from the MJ's, Shaqs, Kobe's, pheonix suns small ball, Magic-Birds, other all time great teams, etc.
But these podcasts, these podcasts add another layer that's never been seen before, authentic and funny like inside the NBA, with similar detail like Kobe's detail videos but with the detail focus on the players career not the game film, and getting the best players ever to give us a more behind the scenes look in their mind then ever, this is some shit we've never seen before on a consistent basis and is much needed because even though the league still has a lot of great attributes like I said it's not something we've never seen before, Bron is great and a type player we never seen but so was MJ, Giannis is a different type beast but so was Shaq, Steph changed the game with 3's but Kob been came down hitting 3's in peoples faces, Iverson been changed the game as a small dude (Steph made it more 3 focus then anyone) but the point is we've seen players come in and make change
So since nothing on the court has been so NEW as far as energy compared to the span of the league I love these podcasts because they have an energy and bring something to the table so new to me it really is a big ass hint on the best way to elevate the league, AUTHENTICITY, because the one fault of the league today with how there's no more fights like the 80's, less trash talk then the 90's, everyone is more business focused and buddy buddy then ever before and there's no hand check on defense so the defense looks worse, plus the acceptance of players being able to stack their teams or play with as many other superstars at they want, it gives the league a feel of not as competitive, not as authentic, players playing for more the glitz and glamour and their brand then ever before instead of it being about hoop and your squad, these podcasts give that feel thats been missing
Crazy 90's and early 00's hoop still carrying the league the right way even better than people in the league in 2020
OGGOAT_ _ no chil podcast too if you wanna get knowledge on hoops lol arenas give free game😂
@@gotti2275 no chill has to change the moderator..he is too dull..you know what i mean
Request
1. Tracy McGrady
2. KG
3. Rasheed Wallace
4. Melo
5. Penny
@@Reignspapi smh not this one he was on All The Smoke
@@Reignspapi 🤣🤣🤣😂
6. Kevin Martin(had a little run)
@@blackmannum1 I hope you mean Kenyon Martin
Melo for sure
All the smoke, and knuckleheads really coming through with the heat right now
they both popped off same time lmao imagine if they both do show for each other’s podcast
no chill too
7 minutes in and I'm realizing dame been a loyal dude. Stayed with his small aau team even after he coulda went to a better one
Explains everything about his relationships with the Blazers.
@@jalenad11 and how melo finally decided to take him up in the offer to come to Portland and why its turned out positive for melo this far
Right and will have nothing to show for his 1 percent chance at making it to be a Professional NBA player but that😩 But hey At least he was a loyal slave to his Team owner, he got payed well and Never will win a Championship 🤷🏽♂️
@@steelurgirl slave but getting paid over 200 million🤔
@@richierich4330 indeed. quite an expensive "slave" if you ask me. rico dude, just cause you loyal don't mean you're a slave, the management is good and the city is good for him, he already said in a different interview that unless portland wants him out, then he's out but he's gonna keep on being there for as long as possible, nothing to show for but that max deal and playoff appearances, being in the NBA, family secured, he's with real people too, got music as wel, yeah, nothing to show for indeed.
D Miles and Q Rich shocked at how Dame struggled all the way up to getting drafted and is now as nice as he is lol
Im glad athletes are giving athletes a platform to speak who understand the game and the things behind the scenes.
They all have platforms
Now the media could stop sending all these false narratives out about athletes
Can we get Derrick rose on here man 🤧
Dame is a G for giving Booker his all star spot after getting snubbed and him being his favorite youngin to watch
Prolific TV you do know Dame didn’t actually get to decide who would get the spot right?
Brandon Thomas yeah I know that devin was the runner up but he requested booker specifically you know that right? That’s what I was referring to specially request someone to replace you speaks a lot
Shout out for showing love to Dragic!!
Dragic learned from the best Steve Nash
My respect for Dame grows with each interview he does. He cares about more than winning, and that's something you gotta appreciate. Favorite player in the league.
westbrook is a beasd
V Font yea he’s a beast too but this is Dame Time lol
Steph is my guy, but I love Dame. To be honest, there’s nothing Steph can do that Dame can’t. Steph uses a little more handles to get shots, but Lillard has more strength and is more explosive going to the rim with dunks. I respect your Boi, and I want him to win, but he’s not a ring chaser on super teams. Portland is going to lose the best player at his size, if they don’t build around him
Some just care about winning but He cares about winning in Portland
His story is really relatable, he really wasn't supposed to make it to the NBA except he did and he still has that mentality not like other stars who've been in the limelight since high school. That Lillard okc shot is one of the coldest gamewinners I've ever seen. I really hope he gets a ring in portland, someone needs to join them to help him
He should come to Dallas
Guillermo Vazquez you think him and luka would mesh ??
@@felix3033 idk but they both can play off the ball, both can pass
Guillermo Vazquez it wouldn’t work cj is perfect for him , dame needs the ball most of the time . He stops n pops one of the best over the screen shooters I’ve ever seen
Dude is special
@@truballa103 sorry bout that
Love this episode!
When D Miles started talking about B Roy 19:38 my heart just sank. THAT DUDE..MY LAWD THAT DUDE WAS A BEAST.
Q was weak 💀😂😂 “Montana, Montana State 😳”
Types in "Damian Lillard Weber State Highlights"
Dame one of the real ones! Super Humble, work ethic thru the roof and believes more in himself and his skill set then a lot of athletes! Kudos to the Pod, Salute to Logo Lilliard! Keep your foot on their neck slim!!! Peace & Blessings!!
Ight we need D Rose, Brandon Roy, Blake Griffin, Melo...
Jeremy Sims plz get Derrick rose
Jeremy Sims d.rose drop 47 on me in HS that nigga 1st step was crazy they beat us 98-42 I never forget 😂😂😂😂
David Ruffin 😂😂
Most def B-Roy
David Ruffin real dude for admitting that 😂😂
Dame Dolla..One of the town's finest..... When is someone going to give the town the recognition for producing the best hoop talent. Especially at the pg position.
Retired players i hope yall get: TMAC. KG. Jason kidd. Brandon Roy.
Active players i hope yall get: Bron, Melo, Demar Derozen, D rose, Cp3
Russ and Harden too
Need b roy
Somebody gotta get B Roy like Asap!! He was a killer frfr, hate that his knees couldn't compete with his mind!
They need melo
Fuck melo. We heard that nigga cry his whole career
I always hated how the rich schools poach these skilled kids from the projects and reap all the benefits. MAJOR props to Dame for bringing his talent back home and having his neighborhood school profit from it.
my man dame just came off a workout lol
Y’all the sickest for gettin dame🤞🏾
Dame is a hell of a Basketball player and one hell of a rapper 💪🏿🤘🏿💯
DMiles questions: “what is it like playing in the Pacific Northwest? LIKE the area in the north western part of the US near the Pacific Ocean?”
Nigga from Diary of a Mad Black Woman this funny you do this every video 😂😂
Your name though😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
Lol
MTF Highlights lmao i do a question I think he’ll ask the person in the video😂😂
"Being a PG, what made you want to dribble and shoot 3s" "Like how did you get in the mindset to do moves and score buckets"
Can we get an All the Smoke meets The Knuckleheads featuring No Chill Gill? I know that’s asking a lot, but you wanna talk about an epic podcast!...sheesh!
Agent00J yea man!!👍🏾
I think we might OD off that shit😂😂
I make this comment every episode bro just hoping they'll see it by accident and make it happen.
Gill been a guest on the show already
a shame RJ and channing dont really do road trippin that was a great podcast also
Best part about their interviews, THEY LET THE PEOPLE TALK AND TELL THEIR STORYYYYY
It makes sense Dame enjoys watching Book play; both are under appreciated players with crazy talent
how is Dame under appreciated??? The man literally got his own time
mjaay..... only way he’s over looked is cuz he plays for a small market team, but like in HS and college, dude keeps getting BETTER EACH YEAR!
@@Alkiel hahaa
My boy Dame Dolla!!! One of the realest mayne. Town Bidness!
Alex Devault Yee!
Interview Request:

Pre Light calm down mate lol
G J why? Lol
You'll need to turn this into your teacher before you post
Great Words! The game been missing something like this every since NBA Inisde Stuff went away.
Jason Basco cmon bruh draft is final
The guys do such a good job with the podcast, all the guest seem like they're at ease. This should be on Netflix and the host should really get the BAG! Great job, I smile every time I watch the show!
There needs to be Knuckleheads rap album w/ Q/Lillard/Shaq/etc 🙌🏽
What a GREAT interview/outlook, Dame is a REAL man... Thank you all for the footage, keep up the success in with all D. Miles and Q. Rich... #faithfultuner
GREAT Ep. Man the way the whole Devin Booker situation panned out is more sweet now knowing Dames a big fan.
This made me a more of a fan of dame this dude is the definition of dream come true
Facts
He really wasn’t supposed to make the league he’s a good example of keeping your head down and working
*My favorite player in the league currently. I honestly think he's the clutchest player in the league as well.*
We need a all the smoke knucklehead collab .... you heard it here first lol
A Mac lol we’ve heard it a lot. Still facts though
Dope ass idea. Vicious!
WHAT....logo lillard
Dame dolla
I aint clicked a interview sp damn fast
Facts bruh. I think the only one I clicked on faster than this one was when I saw they had Kobe on
Niles Lee Niles?!?!?!
💯💯💯😹
@@ironikroyalty2278 yea, what's good?
They got 1 we mamba
Every interview Dame gives is good👍🏾👍🏾 Hes a great personality. I see him having a show after his NBA career.
Dame is that dude. This guy don't put on for the cameras. He's really laid back, down to earth and genuine as fuck. I wish him the best in his career
Get TMAC on here please 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Slowly becoming my favorite podcast

Y’all gotta get Michael redd for me‼️
Squad Holiday💥 shooter
Big facts mfs slept on him!
614 own sniper, was best 1on1 player from top key in college break you off with that left hand cross for a bucket AD
They didn’t ask him about Melo. That would’ve been cool for a perspective of playing with a Great now at this point of his career. Surprised I didn’t hear Kobe either.
I loved this interview though! Real dude, can learn a lot from and how to make it your way. Being respectful, loyal, and staying focused.
yea im suprised they didnt talk about melo. also on the truth one they didnt talk about his stabbing. those are two different things completely obviously but both pretty major things in a way
@@danielmizrahi9629 Well we don't know what happened behind the scenes maybe Melo didn't want to talked and come on common sense here I think they just respecting Paul's privacy
Not everything has to be about Kobe
Same way ppl say not everything has to be Bron
G BS that’s not my point, STUPID 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Dame is the goat. Blessed to be a fan of Rip City because of him
Dame you're my hero bruh
Knuckleheads, All the Smoke, Nochill all got different podcast styles. You’d think they’d all be the same but they’re all interesting in their own kind respectfully. Thank you!!!
Dame a solid stand up dude
Dame is the most underrated player of all time.. he got that Mamba mentality too
Hold up I had to double check I was reading this right? Dame $ y’all tuff🔥
Dame on pace to be a top 12 pg all time and still is under rated!
Top 10..... if he stays healthy!
@@dennisjr77 Off top my list is magic, steph oscar ,Zeke, Stockton, gp, nash, kidd, russ, cp, west,walt, cousy. Let me get your list
Top 12? Nah man that’s a stretch I’d say top 30. Put some respect on the legends & I’m 23 so you can’t say I’m a old head lol.

Would be dope, especially how they go way back
Idk bout that one. All his interviews it seems like he talks about the same stuff. But then again it is Knuckleheads asking him so maybe it would be different
Knuckleheads and All The Smoke always dropping back to back ♥️ I just always prefer knuckleheads
Depends on the Guest.
Bro this is the best thing for hoopers to see another side of players appreciate y’all for doing this
I think these guys ask the best questions out of any sports show or podcast period!!!
Dame Dolla is a killa!!! He is the modern day Agent 0, pure hooper.

@Henry Lomu 💯💯💯
Enjoyed this episode!!! Dame Lillard my favorite player in the nba!!!
Much luv to the KNUCKLEHEADS podcast!!! I luv th i s joint!!!!
I don’t mind the new stars but I like when the former players interview
Dame a real dude, my favorite point guard
Yeah u must love getting swept
YC shittu Nigga what
Dame been swept every year in the playoffs bruh. Even got swept by AD as a 3rd seed when AD was 6th seed
YC shittu He just made it to the Western conference playoffs. Plus he still young my guy. Even Jordan got swept so tighten up
Was hoping that y’all asked Dame about *that game against Kobe and the Lakers his rookie year. Whether this interview took place before or after. That was a legendary game that I’ll never forget. We all knew Dame was one of dem ones after it. 24 said it himself.
Brandon Webb yup. I actually just watched the highlights from Dame and Kob going at it. After the game Kobe was “damn, son, keep ballin like that!” You could tell Kobe was impressed, probably saw a lot of himself in Dame - the Mamba Mentality. It lives on.
man i love this, losing aldridge was very painful for me his game was so smooth still miss him at portland
