- Damian Lillard shot the famous ‘No Rings’ commercial in 2014
- Dame insulted NBA legends Chris Webber and Karl Malone for not winning a ring
- Lillard has played in the league for 11 seasons and is yet to win an NBA Championship
Damian Lillard is one of the best players in the current NBA to have never won a championship. After spending 11 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, the 33-year-old finally requested a trade from the organization earlier this summer.
It’s Lillard’s desperate attempt to win to avoid retiring without a ring on his resume. Speaking of which, Damian Lillard insulted NBA legends Chris Webber and Karl Malone in a 2014 commercial with Foot Locker. Maybe Lillard’s suffering karma because of the commercial.
“The last thing I want to be is one of those guys who never won a ring,” Lillard said, drawing a disappointing reaction from NFL legends. Barry Sanders and LaDainian Tomlinson.
“Barry, LT, I mean one of those basketball players that never won a ring,” Dame clarified. “No, Chris [Webber], I didn’t mean you. I mean one of those legends that lost in the Finals over and over.”
“Burgers are ready,” Malone said while entering the room as he looked furious with the Portland Trail Blazers superstar.
Lillard probably jinxed himself after featuring in this commercial. If Lillard fails to win an NBA Championship in his career, he will be trolled for a long time by NBA fans for shooting this commercial.
On a positive note, a hilarious thing for Lillard would be to shoot another commercial if he retires without a ring and be on the receiving end of such insults from another emerging young NBA star.
Damian Lillard Wants To Be Traded To The Miami Heat
Damian Lillard is coming on the heels of a season where he averaged 32.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game. It’s evident that he is still one of the top players in the NBA.
However, Lillard has finally realized that he won’t be able to win a ring if he stays with the Trail Blazers. As a result, Lillard asked for a trade from the organization and named the Miami Heat as his favorable team to join.
Earlier, there were rumors that Lillard won’t even entertain the possibility of playing for a team other than the Heat, but those rumors have now been put to bed.
Will Lillard get his request to play for the Heat fulfilled? Or will he return to the Trail Blazers for another season? Only time will tell.
