Russell Westbrook didn’t like Lillard complaining about not making the All-Star game every year as you can see in the video above.
Lillard was asked if he had any thoughts on it. At first he said he didn’t care, but then explained why he did via ESPN.
“I really don’t care what he said,” Lillard said. “His word is not law. So it is what it is. The last thing I’ll say about that is the two years that I didn’t make it I said that every guy that did make it was deserving because they were. I said, I just feel like I should’ve been there, but that was my way of handling it. If that’s how he feel, then that’s how he feel. You don’t have no loyalty towards me. He don’t owe me nothing. Like I said earlier, the bottom line is when we play against each other he knows who is who. and he knows the deal. He knows I earned it, he knows I deserve to be there and so does he. Again, it’s disappointing that he would say that. And I don’t know 100 percent that he was even talking about me, but it is what it is. I earned my spot.”
This is turning into one of the best all-star games ever.
