NBA Fans Had So Many Jokes About Damian Lillard’s Cryptic Two-Word Tweet

In this story:
Damian Lillard’s NBA future has become the biggest story of the offseason over the past few weeks, as everyone waits to see whether he will actually be traded by the Trail Blazers or if he’ll stick with the franchise that he’s been the face of since joining the league back in 2012.
The seven-time All-Star reportedly would love to join Jimmy Butler and the Heat, but a potential deal could take a long time to take shape, if at all.
Lillard had the NBA world buzzing Thursday night when he tweeted two words that appeared to be about his feelings—“I’m amazed.”
He had to know this was going to go viral:
I’m amazed.
