"You Can't Be 'HIM' One Day...": Damian Lillard Sends Heavily Veiled Shots at Dillon Brooks After String of Immature Behavior

Damian Lillard may not have played NBA basketball in a bit now, but the man has clearly been keenly watching on. He clearly keeps a track of all the playoff games going on right now and routinely posts his thoughts on Twitter. In fact, he even had this to say about Austin Reaves.

That said, while the man does often share his more positive thoughts about fellow NBA players, it appears that the man isn’t afraid to share the negative ones either. Just recently, the man put out a rather strong tweet. And it is one that you really have to lean in to find out the complete meaning of, and who it is about. Of course, we’re here to help with exactly that. Let’s dive right in, shall we?

 

Damian Lillard puts out a cryptic tweet

Damian Lillard is no stranger to putting out cryptic tweets. The number of times he has hinted at leaving the Blazers despite all his talk of loyalty is a tad bit annoying at this point since most fans just want him to pull the trigger already.

However, his most recent tweet is not about himself. No sir, it’s not even close to that. Nope, it’s about a whole other person. But, before we explain that part of it, why don’t you take a look at the tweet itself below?

“You can’t be “HIM” one day and in a identity crisis a few days later.”

Cryptic, to say the least, isn’t it? Now that you have all the pretext you need, let’s dive into who he is talking about, and why he is saying this about them.

Damian Lillard seems to be talking about Dillon Brooks

At this current moment, Dillon Brooks isn’t exactly the most coveted player by the NBA community, is he? That is often what happens when you brand yourself as the villain.

In multiple interviews he has justified his crossing the line, disrespecting so many, including LeBron James in the process. However, he is now saying that the media is the one making him out to be the villain. And due to this, the man skipped out on any post-game interviews after games 3 and 4 of their series against the Lakers.

Why do we say all this? Well, because apparently, Damian Lillard has been keenly watching this whole situation too. And frankly, his point on the matter makes too much sense here. Indeed, you can’t be ‘him’ one day, before being an absolute child in the next.
