Damian Lillard’s loyalty now lies with the Milwaukee Bucks. Be that as it may, the former Portland Trail Blazers superstar still has a certain affinity to his old team and his ex-teammates.
Dame caught wind of Blazers shooting guard Shaedon Sharpe’s massive poster dunk from Saturday night, and the seven-time All-Star just had to react to his former teammate’s aerial activity.

Lillard had just two words to say after seeing Sharpe throw down what could be the most disrespectful dunk of his fledgling NBA career:

That’s pretty crazy. In case you missed it, Sharpe also posterized Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler, who has firmly established himself as one of the best rim-protectors in the league today. The Blazers stud showed no fear whatsoever as he challenged Kessler in the air.
Sharpe’s viciousness paid off handsomely for the second-year guard as he absolutely destroyed the Utah big man in their mid-air showdown — much to the approval of Damian Lillard.

Sharpe has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of Dame’s Portland exit. The 6-foot-6 two-guard has taken a massive step in his sophomore year, with across-the-board career-high averages of 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.9 triples per game.
The future in Portland is bright.
