"Damian Lillard's Impact on Portland: From Divorce to Victory"

Back to the Basket, a vintage basketball shop in Portland, celebrated Damian Lillard's return to the Moda Center with a watch party, showcasing the mutual love between Lillard and the city. Co-owners Troy Douglass and Jalen Thomas, lifelong Blazers fans, opened the shop in 2020, aiming to build a community hangout for all basketball fans. The shop's success was kickstarted by a hat worn by Lillard in 2014, and despite feeling the impact of Lillard's departure from the Blazers, the store remains committed to fostering a supportive community for basketball enthusiasts.
