Damian Lillard on trade to Bucks: ‘It was a harder transition than I thought for real like just like I said because of my life (divorce) but then also like adjusting to playing with another great player (Giannis) and then also playing with Chris (Middleton). Chris is a great player too but he plays a certain way too, so I’m having to get used to playing with two players and I don’t want to stop them from doing what they do, but I got to find how to be the best version of me within this too, so it was just a lot it, was a lot of moving parts, it was more difficult than I thought it would would be.’

Damian Lillard on making the NBA Top 75: ‘This ain’t like no All-Star voting, it ain’t a popularity contest, it ain’t none of that. It’s like what have you done. That’s why it meant so much for me cuz it was like, I could think of bigger names and if they had to say 75 players that they might just off the top of the head put them in front of me yeah, but when you look at the body of work, it’s a lot of players in the league that like it’s probably like James, KD, Russ, Steph, Bron, Demar, but after Chris Paul, it ain’t nobody that got more career points than me and they all been in the league for three or more years longer than me and I ain’t far behind. With me being in the playoffs on a vet team and on a rebuilding team, we started rebuilding we was right back in there like right back in the playoffs, eight straight years, so it’s like that was the first time I was like like they made the right decision. Like people ain’t going to see it right now but when they look back at like what actually took place they going to be like ‘he should be in there’. -via YouTube / August 20, 2024
Damian Lillard on Michael Jordan at NBA Top 75 event: ‘Everybody was there but when Jordan walked up that’s when I was like ‘this man is like not even a real person. There was probably 80 cameras surrounding like the other 74 players. When he walked up it was probably his own set of 60 cameras and he walked up and it was like, you could see right away he ain’t like, we part of the top 75 but he’s the one. Like he a part of his own group. That was when it was the most obvious to me. Seeing him walk up when they called his name out it was like… we could all leave now. Let him go up there by himself, that’s how loud it was. That sh*t wasn’t real. -via YouTube / August 20, 2024
