Lillard talks about being a 'top 5 pg' snub.

[Strenuus]

and uses it as motivation.

it's an interesting read. he seems legit annoyed.

 

[magnifier661]

Good he should be. The way the NBA and media have snubbed him is criminal

 

[SlyPokerDog]

That fact is if Lillard played for a larger market team or on the east coast he would be a top five pg.

 

[tlongII]

I still can't believe he didn't make the national team. Ridiculous!

Top 3 after something like last night.

Media can't argue it was too late... it's the first game of the night... everyone saw it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Also if Lillard was white he would be a Top3 pg. Media loves white point guards.

Look at the hype Jeremy Lin got when he played for the Knicks, and he wasn't 1/10th the player Damian is. If Damian was doing this on the Knicks, Bulls or Heat (the only teams the NBA cares about in the Eastern Conference) he'd be a top 5 PLAYER, let alone PG.

Yep. Lillard would be superduperstar if he played for Knicks.

Lin isn't even top 20. It's a crime that he's in the NBA when Sergio isn't.

 

[Darkwebs]

In Lillard's past 2 games, he has been nothing short of dominant. Maybe basketball analysts can release Top PG lists snubbing Lillard more often, especially when the Playoffs roll around.

I think Dame as well as LA are more interested in winning Blazer awards and championships than being rated by journalists around the media. Dame is already gunning for Lamarcus scoring rank with the Blazers. That's what I love about this team. It's more, can I beat Drexler's scoring record than Kobe's
