Damian Lillard, Milwaukee Bucks’ player, spoke about the NBA Conference Finals and teams that are still playing.
The last four remaining teams in the NBA Playoffs have a common denominator. Whether it’s the Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics, Minnesota Timberwolves, or Dallas Mavericks, someone is about to win their first ring as a star.
That honor has been constantly hunted by Damian Lillard since his days with the Portland Trail Blazers all the way to his first year with the Milwaukee Bucks.
“Whenever you get into the playoffs and you get eliminated early, it’s always tough to continue to watch. It’s that first round of the playoffs, everybody’s excited. As it continues to grow, there’s more and more attention on fewer and fewer teams.
Looking at it now, it’s four teams left and you’re looking at it like, ‘Man, this ain’t even the teams that everybody was talking about having a chance. Now, they actually got a shot at winning a ring.’ Somebody is going to win their first one. So, that’s always hard to be on the outside looking in,” said Damian Lillard.
