I’m utterly baffled by what the goal of this fake was. How easy would it have been to just take the original footage and say something like “Damian Lillard has always been a fierce competitor, here’s him in Portland talking about how he’s there to win, that determination has followed him to Milwaukee where he debuted with 39/8.”
Maybe they couldn’t get an interview with Lillard after the game but they still wanted to feel important and part of the moment, so they faked an interview from the past that seemed to say something relevant and inserted themselves so people will associate exciting NBA moments with ESPN? It doesn’t make any sense otherwise, it barely makes sense with my speculation. I would really love to hear the reasoning behind faking the clip from the actual person in charge. What kind of dumb fuckery were they trying to accomplish?
