Long time Oakland High Basketball Coach Orlando Watkins mentioned on GSW/Blazers national TV broadcast Weds eve.
Mentioned how Damian Lillard's return to home town (GSW vs Blazers) and fact he attended Oakland High and coached by Coach O. Oakland High could never get past Mack to get OAL championship.
How many HS coaches have had a player go on to NBA? Coach O has 2....
Jabari Brown/Lakers a few years back, had a cup of coffee with Lakers..
Still has O skills to stick in league..(in my opinion)
Reason Damian wears no 0 in part to pay homage to his Oakland roots..
I always root for Damian except when Blazers play GSW...(or when GSW are up by 20 or more)..
