“The Hate Is Real”: After Inspiring Comeback Win Against Jay Norvell’s CSU, Deion Sanders Gets Defended by Damian Lillard

While the NFL stands at the pinnacle of must-watch TV, college football is not far behind. In fact, it has NBA superstars talking about it left and right. LeBron James has kept sharing his love for the game. He has been a huge fan of Coach Prime who has helped the Colorado Buffaloes to an electric start. The Lakers Forward is loving each and every moment of Deion Sanders’ brilliance. Therefore, the support for the sprouting squad has already hit maximum radiance.

To add to this radiance, Damian Lillard also backs Coach Prime.

Damian Lillard comes to the defense of Sanders

In a solid comeback against Jay Norvell-coached CSU, the Buffaloes won 43-35 in an overtime affair. For the second time in three games, it took last-minute efforts for the squad to come through. After this hard-fought win, Deion Sanders brightly declared, ”This is my house, I built this and this is my house!”.

Sharing an ESPN reel that shows this clip of Sanders, Damian Lillard in an Insta story, wrote, ”They so mad in the comments … the hate is real”. It is clear that, like LeBron, Dame is also riding for Coach Prime.

And why not? He has been unbeaten through three games. The perseverance showed by his squad in closing moments has been special. Their ability to be down and still get up has built a solid foundation. His son Shedeur Sanders has been moving the ball all around the park. He has registered 1,251 passing yards through three games, which places him only behind Michael Penix Jr. He also aided the play which led to OT against CSU.

However, defense has been a huge issue and the squad has allowed 30.3 points a game. If they don’t fix their defense, they can be caught in a web against top-rated teams. However, for now, Coach Prime is enjoying the house he is building.

Meanwhile, Damian Lillard is in flux with the house he built for over a decade.

Lillard’s Trail Blazers troubles

Since the high-scoring guard has asked out of Trail Blazes, things have become complicated. Not only for him, but for the Trail Blazers and the Miami Heat; his preferred destination. The Trail Blazers will want a lot from a trade that ends a decade-long fruitful project. They have spent a lot of time building around the superstar and considering his immense value, the team would want a lot in return.

However, the Miami Heat does not have much to offer in terms of a long-term project. Some first rounds alone won’t convince Joe Cronin. If they package a trade around emerging star Tyler Herro, they will be playing a huge gamble?

Will the Guard get his desire and move to the Heat before the next season starts?
