Damian Lillard on rapping with Lil Wayne: 'Me and Wayne got so many songs together that ain't even been released'

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

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
