Damian Lillard Has Strong Reaction to LeBron James Team Up

Damian Lillard is joining LeBron James in the All-Star game, and fans are already making predictions. LeBron was the top vote-getter and he got the chance to pick his own team. Obviously, Dame got the chance to be on it. Team LeBron is packed with talent. LeBron and Lillard will join forces with Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic.

As you may have noticed, LeBron has always picked Lillard to join his team. The veteran is more than honored by this decision.

“Every year that they’ve done (the draft) I’ve been on LeBron’s team,” Lillard said. “I think it’s pretty cool that he picks me every year, I get to play with Bron every year in the All-Star Game cause he pick me. He’s the best player of our generation, the greatest player of our generation. I’m a Trail Blazer, I’ve been here my whole career, so just to have the opportunity to go out there and mix it up with the rest of the best players in the league and rock out with Bron a little bit is always fun.”

Damian Lillard respects LeBron James

LeBron had a really good reason to pick Lillard. He is a top scorer and shows great power in the clutch.

The Los Angeles Lakers wanted to add Lillard to their team. Pretty much every team in the NBA would love to get him. LA wanted Dame before they tried to sign Anthony Davis. Sam Amick of The Athletic confirmed the big news.

“A source with knowledge of Lillard’s situation said there was Lakers interest in a superstar pairing with Lillard and LeBron James before the Davis deal went down in June 2019,” Amick reported in 2020.

LeBron and Dame would work really well together. The latter is an excellent shooter who takes the big shots at the end of each game. LeBron is powerful in the clutch but doesn’t mind having his teammates take the shots.

LA has AD now and he is missing some big time due to his injury. Hopefully, he will return on time for the second half of the season.
