The Damian Lillard-Paul George beef is definitely still alive and kicking. With everything going on in the NBA right now, the Portland Trail Blazers superstar wanted to remind everyone on social media that he's still on George's case.
George has recently made headlines after his statement that he wants to retire as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers. A lot of people weren't taking the 30-year-old's loyalty seriously, and that certainly included the Blazers star himself.
The five-time All-Star was claiming “cap” and posted a savage comment on social media to George saying that his heart is with the Clippers.

Damn, Dame.
Damian Lillard's rather cryptic comments could be taken lightly and that he just wanted to randomly name drop one of the most popular American gangsters of all time. But everyone knows how the Blazers guard shoots his shot, especially when it comes to Paul George.
To Lillard's defense, it is a bit hard to buy into George's loyalty given that he has already been with three teams in 10 seasons and his time with the Clippers hasn't been long. Also, to be completely honest, it also hasn't been too great.
Although George's debut with the Clippers wasn't too terrible, he was one of the most criticized members of the 2019-2020 roster. In fact, a lot are blaming George (and Kawhi Leonard) for not being able to be the leader his team needed him to be inside the bubble. However, George did commit to the Clips this season and is hoping to have a better showing on his second year in LA.
Lillard and George are set to meet for the very first time this 2020-21 on December 30 when the Clippers host the Blazers in Staples Center. Get your popcorns ready.
