Milwaukee Bucks: Damian Lillard Draws GOAT Declaration From Former Teammate Before Portland Return
For former Portland Trail Blazers big man Jusuf Nurkic, Damian Lillard is the greatest player in the history of the franchise. How do we know that? Well, he tweeted about that sentiment just before the Milwaukee Bucks took on the Blazers at Moda Center.
I help you!
Greatest player in franchise history. #Blazers🐐 https://t.co/oW02T9xGFB

Lillard and Nurkic parted ways with the Blazers at the same time when they were among the players involved in a three-team swap back in September when Portland sent Dame to the Bucks and the Bosnian Beast to the Phoenix Suns.
Damian Lillard Was Already a Legend Before The Blazers Traded Him to the Milwaukee Bucks
Before Lillard made his way to the Milwaukee Bucks, he was a franchise star for the Blazers and played with Nurkic for seven seasons in Portland. Nurkic is one of the players who witnessed firsthand regularly the greatness of Lillard, who spent his first 11 seasons in the NBA with the Trail Blazers.
Many would argue that Lillard isn’t the GOAT of the Blazers franchise because guys like Clyde Drexler and Bill Walton also played for Portland, with Walton even leading the team to an NBA title in 1977.
In any case, Lillard had undeniably left his mark on the Blazers. But now, it’s all about trying to win an NBA championship with the Bucks.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
