Ooo NBA allowing shared access to content!

All of the replies in this comments section seems like bots idk
❤️👑🙏🏽💪🏽🎬🎥💯
🏀 🤍 Let’s go Blazers‼️🤍 🏀 ⭐️All-Star⭐️
🌟 Vote Deni Turbo Avdija 💫 ♡ 8️⃣ ♡ 🌟
my personal favorite player this year❗️✨️
My ACL tear sent my life to rock bottom. But my rehab helped me bounce back to an all around better life than before. A year of hardship made me stronger and I can’t wait to see Dame come back stronger too
Why did they make her look better in thumbnail but same irl lol
much needed is a Scoot Henderson interview
You did this to yourself man. Asking to be trade during the last years of your career is a bad idea and you didn’t learn anything from KG’s interview.
Deni drive in – Defense collapse – Dame open 3 shot – bucket
Deni drive in – no help from strong/weak side – lay up – bucket
Deni drive in – Center help – lob – DC dunk
<3
Dame's career is disappointing man
Good job allie. interesting questions for the most part. no silly gotcha questions. a real pro.
It is great to see Dame back here in the Northwest, so happy to have you back on the Blazers!
I have my hair bumps when he speak those glory words about DENI🤟🤟💯
Between Dame and Jrue we have the two classiest men in the NBA! Love them both
Best basketball podcast on YouTube. Cheers!
Sidenote: Bought 2k for my 10 year old and he was so excited to hear Richard's voice but was devastated once I explained that wasn't our Allie in the game. We need Rich to get our girl in the 2k27. #welovedakids #fordakids #roadtrippintakeova
Can’t wait to have him back!
So much aura bro🫶🏽
Loved this until Dame started to "god" it up at the end. Hard work, luck, keeping your head high – all the while as a person who makes tens of millions of dollars annually with a great support network all around him, every day. That is how you make it through. Luck and good nature play a big role in a great many things. Don't get me wrong, I think Dame has toughness, and a good nature, but this divine intervention stuff is a bit much.
