Furious, Damian Lillard dismantles the superstars who ask for trades!

Damian Lillard regularly comes up in rumors, he who could play in a much more competitive team than his Blazers. But in a recent interview, he explained why he would never leave Portland, by seeing in passing a tackle to the other superstars.

Loyalty doesn’t really have a place in the NBA anymore, and while a lot of fans lament it, they may be the main culprits behind the end of romance in the league. Indeed, for a time, it was totally possible to be a legend by remaining almost always in the same franchise, even if it meant giving up on the title, which is no longer valid today.

The greatest players are judged according to their number of rings, Finals MVPs, their level of performance during the playoffs, and more necessarily on their entire career. It is no coincidence that Stephen Curry has just made a sensational entry into the Top 10 all-time of many observers after winning his first Finals MVP…

Damian Lillard refuses to be the lieutenant of a superstar!

And for years, many fans have been asking Damian Lillard to leave the Blazers to go play for the title in another franchise, and thus validate his place in the NBA pantheon. An idea that he refuses and that he will refuse until retirement, as he has just made clear in an interview with the league site. He took the opportunity to drop a big tackle on all the superstars chasing titles:

Yes, I fully intend to remain a Blazer until the end of my career. A lot of people told me I had to do this or that for my career, but I’m not that kind of person. I’m never going to be the metronome for someone else’s orchestra. I will always do what is in my best interest and listen to what I feel deep in my heart.

I’ve explained it I don’t know how many times, people keep saying I’m too loyal. I’m a naturally loyal person, so yes, I have some level of loyalty to my franchise. Everything they say is actually a good reflection of me. I’m loyal to myself and I don’t beat myself up because someone says I have to leave or whatever.

Damian Lillard has been very clear about his future, once again he will never leave the Blazers to play another superstar’s luxury lieutenant. A self-respecting decision that makes sense for such a great talent, he does not want to be the instrument that will allow another to validate his legend. If a superstar is interested in the idea of ​​evolving with the point guard, he will have to settle down in Oregon!

Damian Lillard is not like the other superstars in the league, he refuses to leave the Blazers to serve another legend in a franchise that is not his. It will remain faithful as long as possible, even if it means retiring without a title.
