We are reminded time and time again that Damian Lillard doesn’t forget anything, and he’s on Twitter a lot.
Keep that in mind as we go back a month to April 19. A bettor on Twitter known as @LordTreeSap reached out to Lillard and said the following: “Dame how is your hamstring? I need you guys to win 42 games this year or I lose my house. Huge fan even if I’m in the mansion or homeless.”
Lillard actually responded at the time, telling the bettor to “Say less” (see below).
A month later, the Blazers won their 42nd game … and Lillard remembered:

Thank goodness he saved the man’s house, right? What a guy!
Except the bet was for like $260. Was that really the money that would save his house?

Alright, so it wasn’t like he bet the farm (literally?) on the Blazers. But this was still fun.
