“Damian Lillard is set to GLIDE past Clyde Drexler for all-time franchise scoring record”: Twitter Reacts to Blazer Superstar’s Candid Interview
Damian Lillard is ready for a season of revenge as he sets his sights on a long-term goal; The Portland Trail Blazers franchise scoring record.
The resurgence of NBA players is something we all look forward to. Nobody likes to see an NBA player get injured and be out for a long time.
Several players are back in top form this year and the NBA’s star roster will be brighter than ever. Among them, Damian Lillard is a player we look forward to.
The Blazers’ superstar was an MVP candidate when he was fit and we’ll most likely see him return to his best. On any given night, Lillard is capable of dropping 25 a game.
Something that will help propel the Blazers back to the playoffs.
But aside from one point to prove, Dame Dolla has her sights set on a Blazers record that has stood for decades, the scoring record.

With just 500 points separating Lillard and Drexler, we can see why Dame decided to stay. Being the franchise leader in points is a feat that every player hopes to achieve one day.
And for Lillard, loyalty is a trait he is most proud of.
Leading a franchise in goal and showing their colors in the best possible way is what 6x All-Star wants.
