Over the years, NBA players have gotten more and more feisty regarding public opinion about them and their teams. Lillard is just one example – the likes of Kevin Durant even have burner accounts to argue with people on Twitter.

The whole interaction took place after a video emerged of Lillard doing combat training. The Lakers fan in question commented ‘Bro do everything in the offseason but hoop’. Lillard responded with ‘I hoop DURING the season’.

The fan did not relent, going on to ridicule the Blazers for ‘only’ being the 8th seed.

Lillard shut him up good this time, asking him how the Lakers fared in the last 8 years. The Lakers made the playoffs in 2013 actually, but did not win a single game with Kobe Bryant out injured with an Achilles tear.
