The weeks leading up to the Tokyo Olympics were heavily focused on Damian Lillard. Despite Lillard and the Blazers getting knocked out in the first round, Dame had all the media attention. The focus was on Lillard possibly asking for a trade, and if so, where would he go. After months of all the noise, Dame must have been looking forward to getting away from it when he came to Tokyo.

However, the media just followed him to Japan as well. After his subpar performance in Game 1 against France, the media was all over Damian Lillard once again. However, Lillard bounced back strong in Game 2 against Iran. The 31-year-old led all scoring with 21 points, as the USA took down Iran 120-66.
