PBA Controversy: Players should follow the lead of Damian Lillard, not Lebron James

 

Who is the most interesting name in the basketball world today? It is not Lebron James. It is not Giannis. It is not James Harden. 

It is Damian Lillard.

Lillard is on a different planet right now as he just led his team in taking a 1-0 lead against Lebron James. Dame Time is real.

Now, there is more to Damian Lillard than what he is showing in the court. His attitude as a basketball player is way different than the prevalent one.

Here was the story of Earl Watson about the opinion of Dame about Super Teams.

Since @Dame_Lillard won’t say it, I will! Before Dame’s last extension he was approached to join a super team! He immediately called me & I’m assuming it’s because he respects me! I asked him, “what do you want to do”?! Cont...

I do understand that in the PBA, Super Teams are not even an issue because in the history of the league, it usually has at least five teams with big 3s and at least two of those actually have big 5. San Miguel Beermen even reached the heights today of having a big-7 in Fajardo-Santos-Lassiter-Ross-Cabagnot-Romeo-Tautuaa.

 Now, teams in the league are not even the ones who are working hard and doing anything, yes anything, to form super teams. Players are being forceful in going to Super squads. 

What will make the league better and fairer is to have players that want to be heroes. Players who will not add to the problem of imbalance in the league.

We need players who will fell in love with the team that drafted them and stay and tries to carry them to the championship.
