Damian Lillard: “My Loyalty Is My Biggest Flaw… I’m Too Solid For This Weird A** Era.”

2 Min Read

Now more than ever before, the NBA has become a hotbed for superteams, as stars in different cities look to link up on the same squad for the sake of carving an easy path to victory.

So many stars, it seems, are so quick to ditch their teams for the promise of an easy ride to a Chip, and that hasn’t gone unnoticed by Mr. Lillard

He has never pushed for a trade, has never sold the franchise out, and gives his full effort every time he steps on the court.

Indeed, it seems Dame is the exception in today’s NBA — a guy who resists stacking the deck, a guy who doesn’t run away from the grind, and a guy who just wants to hoop with everything he’s got.
