Lillard is the Edward Norton of NBA stars, a brilliant and steady performer who’s content even if he never headlines some monstrosity of a franchise (The Incredible Hulk never happened, friends.)
The 26-year-old, two-time All-Star is coming off his fourth and best season: 25.1 points and 6.8 assists in 75 games, while leading the Portland Trail Blazers to a surprising 44-38 record and the 5th seed in the brutal Western Conference.
