Live broadcast bar, October 13th recently, pioneer ball Star Lillard accepted an exclusive interview with The Ringer reporter Logan Murdock.
When talking about the phenomenon of “players applying for transactions and forming super teams”, Lillard said: “I think the reason for this change is the increase of pressure on athletes. The outside world always thinks that a player without a ring is equivalent to doing nothing.
“But there are players like Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing and Reggie Miller in history. These people are legends, man, you can’t deprive anything just because they didn’t win the championship.
“People sometimes joke about me staying in the team. They reply, ‘man, he is too loyal. He doesn’t want to win. He just wants to ask for money.’ I won’t take anything from them, I think most of the time because of my position.
“People are trying to put my position there, as if my existence is belittling those players who apply for a deal. It’s not like this. I just stick to my belief, they can do whatever they want. If it makes them happy, then do it.” Lillard said.
