Damian Lillard has spent his entire NBA career in a small market. He was a part of the Portland Trail Blazers organization for over a decade, despite the fansā desire to wach him someplace else.
As you may know by now, the multi-time All-Star has finally joined another team, putting together the strongest squad in the Eastern Conference next to Giannis Antetokounmpo.
However, as excited as Milwaukee Bucks fans might be for his arrival, some of them might remember that just last year, he seemingly threw shade at their hometown.

Well, itās funny how life can come at you fast, especially in this line of work. The internet never forgets, and it was just a matter of time before these comments resurfaced.
