The core of McCollum and fellow sharpshooter Damian Lillard was seemingly close to winning a title, but the elusive championship always appeared to be just out of reach. As such, Lillard has had to deal with constant chatter about why he should leave Portland for greener grass throughout his career. That chatter has never been stronger than right now following the McCollum trade, which left the cupboard awfully bare in Portland besides Lillard. Blazers legend Clyde Drexler delivered a message to Lillard following the McCollum trade.</p><blockquote>“I’m sure Lillard has gotta be thinking I gotta go somewhere to compete for a title unless he just wants to stay there and finish out his career, but if he is competitive I’m sure he is looking to go someplace to win,” Drexler said. “As a player, you have to make that adjustment and you have to make that decision real quick. Do I want to stay here and be beloved and maybe I don’t win a championship but they love you here in Portland? That wasn’t enough for me.”</blockquote><p>First of all, Clyde Drexler makes a great point when he wonders what the Blazers are doing by trading CJ McCollum, a player still in his prime.</p><p>Drexler then went on to say that because of a move like the McCollum trade, someone like Damian Lillard, the franchise’s undisputed star, has to decide if he wants to <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/damian-lillard-opens-up-on-cj-mccollum-s-trade-staying-in-portland/ar-AAU2Bt1?ocid=uxbndlbing">remain in</a> Portland and be “beloved” but maybe not secure a title.</p><p>Lillard has seemingly gone the way of beloved franchise guy each and every time he was faced with a decision like this. However, the CJ McCollum trade may have been the breaking point for Damian Lillard’s time in Portland.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

You can probably guess where we’re going with that…Harden is on a hall-of-fame trajectory and the only thing standing in his way of securing his NBA legacy is a ring. he knows that, it is why he is not really taking any drama when it comes to his Nets teammate Kyrie Irving and his COVID-19 vaccine drama. Harden knows this is his best chance to win that ring and secure his legacy as not only one of the best scorers in NBA history but one of the better players as well. He’s ready to do that with or without Kyrie.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Aside from being on-court rivals during the 1990s when Drexler was still part of the Portland Trail Blazers, the two also enjoyed some time together as members of the Dream Team back in 1992.</p><p>‘Enjoyed,’ of course, is something Drexler could tend to argue against.</p><p>After Jordan’s Bulls defeated Drexler’s Blazers in the 1992 NBA Finals, the two found themselves together on the court once again, but this time as teammates. This, according to writer David Halberstam in his book titled “Playing For Keeps” (h/t to <a href="https://thesportsrush.com/nba-news-michael-jordan-wanted-to-humiliate-clyde-drexler-nba-insider-reveals-how-the-bulls-legend-tormented-his-rival-during-dream-team-scrimmages/">thesportsrush.com</a>), triggered a whole lot of emotions which should explain Jordan and Drexler’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-clyde-drexler-claps-back-michael-jordan-after-the-last-dance-diss/">interesting relationship:</a></p><blockquote>“Jordan did not pass up the opportunity to talk some trash as he brought the ball upcourt. ‘Didn’t I just kick your ass? … Anything here look just a little familiar? … Think you can stop me this time [sic], Clyde? … Better watch out for the 3s, Clyde.’ Halberstam wrote.He continued, “Eventually, some of his Dream Team colleagues suggested that Jordan cut back on the trash talk with Drexler because they were all teammates now, and there was no reason to reopen wounds so fresh. Back off, he did, but the coaches noted that every time Jordan guarded Drexler in scrimmages, he took the defensive level up more than anyone else.”</blockquote><p>Talk about rubbing some salt on an open wound. But then again, that’s just MJ being MJ. <a href="http://fanatics.ncw6.net/e4qvn6" rel="noopener">Michael Jordan</a> has been known to be one of the most lethal trash-talkers in the league, and this is just another prime example.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He finished the game sitting at No. 2 in the list with a total of 15,013 career points – just 3,027 away from Drexler’s total of 18,040 for the top spot.</p><blockquote>“I’m gonna pass him.”“I dunno when, but I’m gonna pass him. I gotta continue to take care of myself and continue to work on my game and just be myself and stay healthy. It is a goal. I want to get to that point and even go past that,” the Blazers star said via <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/northwest/trail-blazers/lillard-confident-he-will-pass-drexler-become-blazers-all-time-leading">NBC Sports</a>.</blockquote><p>Eclipsing the Blazers legend may still be a long way to go for Lillard but he insisted on his determination to accomplish the feat in the future.</p><blockquote>“If I focus on continuing to improve and continuing to win and try to bring what I want to bring to this city and this organization, I know that is gonna come along with a lot of other things. I wouldn’t say I focus on it but it’s definitely something that I’m aware of and something that I want on my belt. I’ll continue to be me and continue to work towards all the things that I want to accomplish as a Trail Blazer and it will come.”</blockquote><p>Drexler played the first 12 seasons of his illustrious 16-year career with the Blazers where he was able to make a name for himself as one of the best players in the league. From 1983 to 1995, the Louisiana native garnered eight All-Star selections and inclusion in the 1992 All-NBA First Team.</p><p>He went on to take his talents to the Houston Rockets to win his first title in 1995 before retiring from the league in 1998. Despite not being able to bring a championship to the city of Portland, Drexler was still regarded as arguably the greatest player in Blazers history.</p><p>More than individual numbers and accolades, Damian Lillard <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-carmelo-anthony-reacts-to-eclipsing-tim-duncan-on-all-time-scoring-list/" rel="noopener">can etch his name</a> among the greats and overcome an icon like Clyde Drexler by successfully bringing the team to the promised land for the first time since 1977.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
