Absent for some time, Damian Lillard recently had the opportunity to return to his many clashes with Steph Curry. He recognizes that it was not simple, he who often found himself in the shadows on arrival.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While Stephen Curry continues the titles and praise with his status as a best shooter in history, it's more complicated on the side of Damian Lillard. He never managed to win something with the Blazers, the fault of a doubtful front office, and never managed to take the best on the chef and the Warriors.<\/p>\n

Not easy for the leader, who has rebounded from the Bucks. But with its venous thrombosis (slightly different from Victor Wembanyama), Lillard is going through a fairly difficult new period. However, he hopes that by his retirement, he will have the opportunity to win a title with Giannis Antetokounmpo. But nothing is done.<\/p>\n

Damian Lillard confides in the case Steph Curry<\/h2>\n

The good news is that he hopes to come back in time for the playoffs to help his team. No news at the moment, but Lady is optimistic and hopes why not cross the road to the dubs in the best of scenarios. Because often in the shadow of Curry, Lillard would like to take on a major revenge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tRead
\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n

“I can say it for the first time, Stephen Curry ruined the league”\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n

In a recent podcast, Lillard confided on the subject:<\/p>\n

\n

Damian Lillard sur Steph Curry<\/strong> : “It was always a bit like that. Steph crossed a new course and I had to run after him. I wanted to have what he had. He wins championships and everyone talks about him. So it was very competitive with Steph, especially during those years when I said to myself 'I can do it too. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, and despite some memorable moments in playoffs, Lillard has never achieved his goal. He hopes a different outcome with the bucks, but it won't be easy either. And on arrival, Curry's career will remain much greater, while Lady will undoubtedly have a lot of regrets concerning her period in Portland.<\/p>\n

\n

@RussFcb<\/strong> : “Portland really didn't help it with that. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

@Credenkun<\/strong> : “There was not a single season in her career where Lady approached Steph Curry's level. It was a one -way rivalry, a bit like with James Harden. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

@CompLikeDrew<\/strong> : \u201cNice proof of respect in reality. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

@junior1_18<\/strong> : “Damian is exactly what could have happened to Steph if he had been chosen by a bad team. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Damian Lillard was honest when talking about Steph Curry. A little jealousy over the years? Without doubt, the chef having chained performances, praises and titles. For Lady, however, it is something else.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
