Dame's playful comment was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Brenna Greene.

"When I lived in Milwaukee, I rented his house for two years so we talked a lot,” Lillard said.
“Like, I was complaining to him about the Wi-Fi. There's a clip online of like, I shake his hand, we played them in Boston, we had an interaction and people were like, 'What?' And we were literally talking about his Wi-Fi at his house."

In the clip, Dame also shared that they’ve already had some good talks about what’s ahead.

"So he reached out just about, like, areas, like, to live in and stuff like that and a little bit about the organization,” Lillard said.
“And I told him, like, I live in Portland, my family's in Portland. … So, I mean, I think once you get here and you get on the ground, you know, you learn to like it or love it in my case."
