Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Damian Lillard has responded on Twitter to fan questions about the hiring of presumptive new head coach Chauncey Billups. Billups settled a sexual assault case out of court in 2000, which has led to strong reaction from the Blazers community upon news of his new position of public leadership. In his tweets, Lillard denies knowledge of Billups’ history and says he was only choosing his favorites from a pre-selected list.
