Championship culture in today’s NBA is linked with stardom. The concept of Super Teams is no more a shock. The best have joined forces and won the Larry O’Brien trophy. These experiments have led to some of the fiercest rosters in NBA history. In a world where loyalty is rare, Damian Lillard has upheld his beliefs. Wanting to do it in Portland, the perennial All-Star has stayed with the franchise for his entire career. In a recent interview, the 32-year-old made a bold claim about winning a championship in his city.

Lillard is arguably the most notable star in Portland. An ‘NBA Top 75’ member, the Portland Trail Blazers superstar has made a significant impact on the league. In the three-point revolution, he has made some of the longest shots ever seen. Moreover, he is the only man with multiple series-winning baskets. The only accomplishment evading his glorious career has been an NBA championship.

The one validation that has kept NBA fans from respecting him. And in a recent interview, the Western Conference All-Star made a brave claim about him not getting the credit he deserves, and he feels a championship will make that happen.

The seven-time All-Star appeared as a guest on the ‘Point Forward’ podcast. He sat down with former teammate Evan Turner for a real conversation. The pair spoke about the 32-year-old’s impact on the NBA. According to the Trail Blazers star, no one is willing to give him his flowers. His view: a championship will change all that.

That prompted quite a brave reaction from Dame Dolla. He said, “They’ll never give me credit for what I’ve actually done unless I just come out here and win a championship in Portland. And they better hope that don’t happen.”
Well, the fans seemed to have no worries about that happening. They brutally trolled the perennial All-Star.

Lillard’s legacy in the NBA is attached to his transcending play style. Dame Dolla is one of the most clutch superstars of all time. His game-winner against OKC still gives goosebumps to NBA fans. Moreover, he is a great ambassador for the game. The 32-year-old is still in the middle of his prime and is the single reason people believe in Portland every season.

As far as his impact goes, Lillard might not need a championship to prove anything. The 2023 three-point contest winner has established himself as one of the greats. Even if his loyalty isn’t rewarded, he will always be a loyal son of Portland.
