In the nearly 50 seasons of Portland Trail Blazers basketball, only twice has a Blazer player been named First Team All-NBA: Bill Walton in his 1978 MVP season, and Clyde Drexler in 1992. That could change very shortly. Damian Lillard is in the midst of the finest season of his already excellent career. He is playing at an MVP-caliber level, and has led the Trail Blazers from basketball purgatory to a choice spot in the stacked Western Conference. While James Harden, the season’s likely MVP, has one of the two guard spots for the First Team All-NBA locked up, Lillard deserves to be in the driver’s seat for the second spot.
