Damian Lillard has built a reputation as one of the most loyal superstars there is in the NBA due to his disinterest in leaving the Trail Blazers for greener pastures. That reputation, however, didn’t stop LeBron James from trying to get him to jump ship.
The Trail Blazers star told The Ringer that he and James ran into each other on the baseline of an Aces vs. Sparks game during the summer of 2021 while he was in Los Angeles, and was invited to James’s home.
“He was just like, ‘Pull up to the house,’” Lillard said. “And I’m like, s---, I’m out here. Tomorrow is the only day I ain’t got nothing planned out. I can pull up for a little bit.”
