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.
A high school kid wanted To take a pic with me … I said not right now let me finish shopping. I feel bad now

The kid he talked about responded.
