Berlin1688 Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard admits he was told early on by NBA tight end Jrue Holiday. berlin1688

Lillard was acquired from the Milwaukee Bucks to enter free agency, at which time Holiday was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Moda Center. 

There have been numerous links with the 35-year-old back, but it was Jaru who was the most accurate, sending a personal message that really hit the mark. 

“Almost immediately after I got released, when Jrue found out I was still living in Portland, building a house and settling down here, he sent me the eyeball emoji,” the No. 6 overall draft pick from Weber University’s Class of 2012 said. berlin1688
