Blazers’ Damian Lillard Delivers Strong Statement on LeBron James

Portland Trailblazers super star Damian Lillard has some things to say about LeBron James. We all know who LeBron James is. He is one of the best players to ever play in the NBA. Currently, he is working on leading the Los Angeles Lakers to yet another Finals appearance. But Lillard had some things to say about this.

The Portland Trail Blazers were able to get the 8th spot in the Western Conference on Saturday. They beat the Memphis Grizzliesin a very exciting game 126-122.

Due to the win, the Blazers have now set up a spot versus the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James. Lillard was asked about the win and the prospect of facing the Lakers in the Playoffs.

“I mean, I think the reason why we competed so hard, the reason why we fought so hard to get into the playoffs is because we fee like we’re capable of doing anything,” Lillard said. “We can beat anybody, so now we just gotta get rested and get ready for the next thing. You know our work is just beginning.”

“They’re the number one seed in the west for a reason,” Lillard said. “They have the best player in the world. … We feel like we have a chance in a series against any team in this league. We feel like we have a chance in this series.”

Lillard also backed James for the MVP reward.

“I don’t think you can go wrong with LeBron or Giannis, but in my opinion…I think it’s LeBron. Just because he’s the number one seed in the Western Conference, I feel like he’s had a dominant season to be in year seventeen, leading the league in assists, the level that they had been playing at right before the season was suspended,” Lillard went on. “I don’t think it should be any argument with either guy getting the award, but I would say LeBron because of how he’s been able to take that team from a non-playoff team, and now they just jump to number one. … I think LeBron is definitely worthy of being the MVP”
