Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum are one of the best backcourt duos of the league, leading the Blazers to consecutive postseason appearances the last five years.
Lillard described his relationship with his co-star in Portland explaining how the two of them work so well together all these years.
(via NBC Sports Northwest):
“I would naturally think of his opinion and what he says to me, you know, on a different level,” Lillard explained. “We’ve had that agreement since my fourth year, in his third year, when we started in the backcourt together that, I’m gonna hear you out.
You yell at me, I’m gonna hear you out. You cuss me out, I’m gonna hear you out. You demand something of me, I’m gonna hear you out.”
Damian Lillard has successfully led the Blazers to the Top-5 of the tough West for the first part of the season with McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic out due to injury for the most part.
McCollum will be returning shortly for Portland, as the Blazers will try to remain a Top-4 caliber team in the Western Conference.
