Portland Trail Blazer fans are abuzz with rivalry talk, while Damian Lillard and the Blazers face Patrick Beverly, Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers. Earlier today, Yahoo Sports posted a topic on Twitter about the alleged rivalry between Lillard and George.
The Blazers and Clippers face off tonight.
They are not friends.
This is a topic about their meat. It all started when Damian Lillard landed this shot on Paul George to eliminate Thunder in 2019. pic.twitter.com/ZvC82JvPm4

The topic talked about the shot that Lillard hit while George – at the time playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder – was hitting him in 2019. Lillard’s three-point basket eliminated Thunder in the first round of the playoffs. The same topic on Yahoo Sports’ Twitter continues to highlight the comments that were fired between Lillard and George in the months following both media and social media.
Before the Clippers game tonight, Lillard commented on the alleged rivalry between him and George, saying “I thought a rivalry was built on the court.”
“I thought a rivalry was being built on the court, you know what I’m saying? I don’t think it’s a rivalry.” – @Dame_Lillard in tonight’s game against Clippers
