How is Damian Lillard any better than Stephon Marbury? I mean that in the sense that Stephon was a talented scorer who wasn't really a star who lead his team to success. Not their personality yadda yadda, just look at the product on the court. When Stephon was 27 he averaged 22 points per game. shot 50/35/83 with 8 assists per game 3 rebounds. This year Damian is averaging 24.5, shooting 46/32/92 6 assists 5 rebounds. Marbury's career went into steep decline after age 27.
@Sinobas google. Stephon Marbury and Kevin Garnett Fued. Then please don't ever mention Marbury and Lillard in the same sentence again.
Marbury's main issue is he wasn't going to be 'the man' with KG. It would never be Marbury's team. Please you should google it too and then once you do. Never mention Lillard & Marbury in the same sentence.
Marbury's own mouth. 'I could score 30 ppg and it would still never be my team.' You're right those aren't stats... You hate Lillard I get it so you won't see that as stats. Go clean off your shrine of CJ. it's covered it too much jizz.
Marbury had 3 seasons where he averaged over 20ppg per 36. His highest being 22ppg. Dame has done so his past 4 seasons, with his highest being 27ppg. Marbury had only one season with a TS% higher than 54%. Lillard has done so every season. Cmon man. We're not even getting into intangibles or leadership.
Marbury was a generational talent who couldn't keep his shit together and pissed the gift away. Lillard is a fairly average talent who plays way above that because he's exceptionally grounded and motivated. It's hard to fathom even comparing the two beyond that.
I dont see Lillard spending his career regretting about what could have been and eating hot dogs every other night.
Legend in China. Championship and a statue in Beijing. Just had a scuffle with Jimmer Fredette in a game the other day. I believe it is his last season.
