Damian Lillard says he would have won a championship in Portland if LaMarcus Aldridge didn’t leave to San Antonio

Damian Lillard: My favorite collab so far, I gotta say Lil Wayne. The first time I got with Wayne it was actually somebody reached out to me for Wayne, cuz they was like ‘you know he wanted to do something with you cuz you know he likes how you don’t try to rap like a rapper, he can tell you just rapping like you’, so we connected like that and me and Wayne got so many songs together that ain’t even been released like, cuz everything I send him, he does it and just send it right back. There’s a bunch of sh*t that we haven’t put out. I actually been to the studio with him and like being able to see it I was like ‘damn’.’ -via YouTube / August 20, 2024

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.’ -via YouTube / August 20, 2024

Damian Lillard names his current favorite players: I’m gonna go with Anthony Edwards. I think everybody is super high on him right now but I like him because of his energy, like the swag about him is authentic, and he got the game to go with it. So I’m gonna go with Anthony Edwards. I’m gonna go with Ja Morant. He got into some trouble so I think people kind of turned off to him a little bit but I mean I know what I’m looking at. Luka Doncic, I’m leaving somebody out… Joker and Giannis. That’s my five right now. -via YouTube / August 20, 2024
