Game Time? Nah... It's Dame Time!

With the pandemic hiatus on professional sports, the entire city has been itching for some serious Dame Time.  It's not just because of his explosive scoring ability or his commitment to stay in a Blazer's jersey.  We love Dame because his passion for the game goes well beyond basketball. That message was clearly delivered last month when he joined his fellow Portlanders by peacefully protesting against systemic racial injustice.

That being said, we were beyond excited when we heard that the Rip City Kid himself (AKA: Dame D.O.L.L.A) would be gracing us with his presence for a project on the new NBA2K21 video game.  Using a series of comedic green screen clips, the entire production team did an amazing job in hyping his front cover spot. In a relatively smaller market like Portland, his time on the court is too often overlooked with East coast pundits not staying up late enough to watch him play, which has no doubt contributed to multiple NBA All-Star snubs. The 2K franchise is the most popular NBA video game in the world, so his placement on the cover is a big deal for sports in Oregon.  Here is a link to the spot!  https://youtu.be/BR_A7lG6qCg

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: Later this month, Portland will be facing Memphis for a playoff position on 7/31 at 1pm. At Cine Rent West, we never miss watching a Blazer's game.  If our studio manager, Brynden, is unable to watch a game live, he records it for later, so please don't ever text him any spoilers...
