Damian Lillard has been on fire since the NBA Bubble in Orlando.
In 13 games on the Walt Disney World campus, the six-time NBA All-Star averaged 33 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 8 assists, including 51-point and 61-point performances against the Philadelphia 76ers and Dallas Mavericks, respectively. He was named the MVP of the eight seeding games, per ESPN.
The Portland Trail Blazers fell to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in five games in the first round of the 2020 NBA Playoffs.
Lillard announced he and his fiancée Kay'La Hanson were expecting twins shortly after exiting the Bubble.
The two officially arrived in January 2021.

Lillard and Hanson have been together ever since they met at Weber State. Their first child, son Damian Jr., was born on March 29, 2018.
In February 2020, the superstar point guard proposed to his longtime girlfriend at a private party during NBA All-Star weekend in Chicago.
After suffering a lateral knee sprain and dislocated finger, the Oakland High School grad left the Bubble prior to Game 5 against the Lakers to receive further examination of his injuries back in Oregon.
