Damian Lillard jokes with a troll who tweeted out a comparison of the Blazers guard’s accolades from his rookie season and his current season.

Damian Lillard is one of the most prominent point guards in the history of the league. When hot, the Blazers guard can go on a scoring rampage, showcasing several moves from his incredibly deep offensive arsenal.
However, the Oakland native had a pretty forgettable campaign this year. Averaging merely 24 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.3 assists on career-lows shooting split of 40.2% FG% and 32.4% 3FG%, Dame failed to lead his squad to the play-in tournament, let alone the playoffs.

Irrespective, the 31-year-old has had a pretty respectable career so far. Over the past 10 years, the 6-foot-2 sharpshooter racked up a solid resume – 6-time All-Star, 6-time All-NBA, 2013 ROTY, one of the premier three-point shooters, and was also included in the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team.
