FOR FUTURE: Bucks star Damian Lillard takes his children to Portland basketball court to help them grow instead of at Milwaukee

Damian Lillard, the dynamic point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, is not only known for his exceptional skills on the basketball court but also for his dedication to being a loving and involved father.

Lillard recently shared his passion for the game with his three children—a girl and two boys—by taking them to the basketball court at Portland, hoping to help them grow both as individuals and athletes.

The court became a place of bonding and learning for the Lillard family. Damian, known for his work ethic and determination, instilled these values in his children as they spent quality time together, dribbling, shooting, and running drills.

Through these activities, Lillard aimed to cultivate their love for the sport and teach them the importance of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance.

Beyond the physical aspect, the basketball court served as a platform for Lillard to impart valuable life lessons to his children. He emphasized the significance of setting goals, facing challenges head-on, and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success.

Lillard wanted to give them life lessons that would help them in whatever they did, not only help them become better basketball players.

Furthermore, the Lillard family used the basketball court as a place to make enduring memories with one another. The siblings and their father grew close as a result of the happiness and fun they had during these sessions. It served as a reminder that, despite their potential for rivalry, sports also give families a chance to bond, encourage one another, and make treasured memories.

Since breaking up with his ex-wife, Lillard has not been able to live near his children when he had to move to the Bucks to play. So these are rare times that help Lillard be close to his children in Portland, where Lillard seems to spend his entire career.
