It was very close but somebody had to get cut and unfortunately, Portland’s Damian Lillard was one of the final four that will not be hopping on the plane to Europe. Buy like any professional would. He took it in stride as he says this to Yahoo’s Marc J Spears.
“It’s nothing I did or didn’t do. No hard feelings. Wish them the best,“
I don’t care what Colangelo and Krzyzewski say I still think that Damian Lillard is better than Kyrie Irving and I think they only picked Kyrie over Lillard because they already have two scorers in Steph Curry and Derrick Rose and needed a guard with some passing tendencies. Kyrie isn’t Steve Nash or Chris Paul in terms of passing but it’s something.
Besides everyone is a team player when it comes to Team USA.
