Portland Trail Blazers’ star point guard Damian Lillard was recently named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team. When asked about the honor, Lillard recognized what an accomplishment it was.
I mean it’s a great feeling, man. A special honor to be included in that group. 75 in the history, 75 years. Great players that came before me and that I’m playing with. It’s probably the biggest accomplishment of my career.
In addition to former Trail Blazers Bill Walton, Lenny Wilkens, Carmelo Anthony, Scottie Pippen, and Clyde Drexler, Oakland natives Gary Payton and Jason Kidd also made the anniversary team, which made the nod special for Lillard.
