Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard fell just outside the top three for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player considerations. While that outcome is somewhat disappointing, it should not detract from the important milestone that Lillard is about to hit when it comes to his place in Blazers history.
Barring a completely unforeseen voting outcome, Lillard is a virtual lock to earn a spot on one of the All-NBA teams this year. Once all the votes and ballots are revealed, Lillard will establish a clear-cut lead over Clyde Drexler when it comes to All-NBA selections in a Blazers uniform.
