LeBron James knew what time it was last night and he had to tip his cap to Portland’s Damian Lillard after Portland’s star guard hit another series-ending 3-pointer.
James, although he’s currently enjoying vacation, clearly couldn’t stay away from watching the fifth game of a highly entertaining matchup between Lillard and Russell Westbrook. However, Lillard clearly got the best of Westbrook in the matchup and he ended the series with an incredible walk-off 37-footer. After the game, James tweeted out a watch emoji.
James has been a big fan of Lillard for a long time, even saying last year that he would help make Lillard appreciated if they were playing together. However, it doesn’t appear that will ever happen.
Lillard is eligible for a SuperMax extension this season and has given every indication on the record that he plans to stay with the Trail Blazers. Although Lillard was a popular name thrown around last summer as a potential Laker, that ship has sailed and Lillard waved it an additional goodbye last night.
