Portland Trail Blazer’s Damian Lillard feels bad about fan interaction, makes it right
By Mike Dyce
Portland Trail Blazer’s Damian Lillard ran into a fan at the mall who wanted a picture. Lillard told the fan later after he was shopping never found the kid and felt guilty. With the help of Twitter he rectified the situation.
Yahoo! Sports’ Dan Devine spotted the conversation, but we noticed it on Bleacher Report.
