“You Will Never Have My Respect”: Blazers’ Damian Lillard Bashes NBA Analyst, Labels Him a Joke

Damian Lillard is not one to be messed with. Whether it’s on the court or off it. The Portland Trail Blazers’ star, Damian Lillard recorded his fifth 50-point game of the season against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The NBA All-Star also led his team to the Western Conference Finals last season, after nearly two decades.

After constantly proving his value, Lillard refuses to take uncalled jabs from anyone. Specially Skip Bayless, who is not a stranger to be called out by athletes.

Skip Bayless refuses “Dame Time”

On Monday morning, Skip criticized Lillard for missing two free-throws on Saturday against the LA Clippers. He said,” I’ll allow you to continue to stick your head in the hand on Damian Lillard, but I’m not going to. What happened on Saturday afternoon validated what I’ve been asking about Damian Lillard. Is he really “That Guy?” Does he really have super in front of star in front of his name?”

He even mocked the famous phrase “Dame Time” and refused to buy it. Lillard, however, proved that nobody should want to get into a feud with him. He posted a ruthless response to Bayless’ tweet and calls him a joke.

“I have never been buying nothing about you fam. You a joke. And after our private convo full of back pedaling you will never have my respect” said Lillard.  He is apparently referring to a personal conversation they had before.

The roasting did not end there. A tweet saying, “Wait so Skip was acting completely different in private than he is on TV right now?” was posted by Jai on Twitter to which Damian dropped truth bombs and said,” Totally Different”.

Damian Lillard backs Lebron James

The Fox Sports Analyst has openly passed notorious comments on the Los Angeles Lakers star player, Lebron James as well. Lillard did not let his anger end at his feud. A fan posted on twitter, “I wonder how Skip would do with a 1 on 1 convo with LeBron since he is always throwing shade towards him”. 

After this, Damian admitted that he had confronted Skip about the hate he throws towards Lebron. He said, “Ask him what he said when I asked him “ and why you always hatin on Bron ?”

The show ‘Undisputed’ on which Bayless made those comments is also something Dame would never want to be on. Another fan asked,” would you ever go on Undisputed?”

“Hell no,” said Lillard.

Lillard certainly did not shy away from making his stance clear to the public. The Blazers are 33-39 and are all set to play the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.
