Damian Lillard named Anthony Edwards, Ja Morant, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo as his favorite players in the NBA.
Every NBA player has his favorite athletes and basketball players to watch. Milwaukee Bucks superstar guard Damian Lillard named his.
The 34-year-old player was a guest at the Club 520 Podcast, where he named the players he likes in the NBA the most.
“I’d say right now because if we say period, there are a lot of people I can’t leave off the list,” Lillard began.
“Right now, imma go Anthony Edwards. Everybody’s super high on him right now, but I like him because of his energy and his swagger. It’s authentic, and he’s got the game to go with it,” he said.
“So imma go Anthony Edwards, imma go Ja Morant. He got in some trouble, so I think people kind of turned off to him a little bit,” Lillard continued. “I know what I’m looking at. Anthony Edwards, Ja Morant, Luka [Doncic], Joker (Nikola Jokic), and Giannis [Antetokounmpo]. That’s my five right now.”
He didn’t give any order but chose five of the brightest stars in the game today — and he couldn’t leave off his co-star.
