Damian Lillard will forever be a Portland Trail Blazers legend, but he wasn’t happy with a fan account of his former team.
When an account titled blazersnationcp wasn’t too concerned with the guard’s struggles on the Milwaukee Bucks, he responded by saying, “fake ass mfs.”
Lillard played the first 11 seasons of his career on the Trail Blazers and became a fan favorite as a seven-time All-Star who led the team to the playoffs eight years in a row. Portland advanced to the Western Conference Finals in 2019 during that span and was a regular contender for much of his career.
The future Hall of Famer also became the franchise’s all-time leader in points scored and three-pointers and helped define an entire era in the team’s history.
He also got quite the reception when he returned to Portland as a visiting player:
Yet things haven’t exactly gone according to plan with the Bucks, as they lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Indiana Pacers last season and are just 5-9 in Lillard’s second season. There is still plenty of time to turn things around in 2024-25 with no shortage of talent with Lillard, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, among others, but it is not the start Milwaukee wanted.
At least one Trail Blazers fan account doesn’t seem to mind the Bucks’ slow start, though, which sat wrong with Lillard.
Perhaps he can use it as motivation when Milwaukee faces Portland on Jan. 4 and Jan. 28.
