Watching you play is a thrill like no other, and your dedication and work ethic is an inspiration to the entire fanbase.

As a teammate, your impact on your fellow players is significant, and it is evident in the way they speak about you and their experiences playing with you. Your leadership, work ethic, and unwavering commitment to the game have helped elevate the performance of your teammates, both on and off the court. You have helped mentor many Blazers teams to unexpected success in the postseason, and your current mentorship of this young, talented team is admirable.

What truly sets you apart from other NBA stars is your impact on our community. You have been a pillar of Portland since the day you arrived, and your commitment to making a difference is nothing short of remarkable.

From donating millions to local schools and organizations to advocating for social justice and equality, you have always used your platform for good. I cannot express how much it means to the fans to see you use your success to make a positive impact in the world.

Your talent, leadership, and selflessness have made you not just a great athlete, but a beloved figure in Portland. You have become a symbol of resilience and perseverance for our city, and we are so lucky to have you as a part of our community.

Your presence on and off the court has brought so much joy and inspiration to so many people, and we are all grateful for the way you represent us.
