Many players in the League have had great seasons with there teams. But every season has one player who has been nothing but a beast. In fact there was one player who is been like this for a couple years now. It has been Damian Lillard for so many reasons.
The first reason is stat lines.He has been one of the most impressive players a point guard. With 25.8 points, 6.7 assist, and 1.1 steal. Leading his team in point and assists, his great effort is shown in those numbers alone. He is in the top 10 in points per games with the 9th position. Not only that but he has had so many 30 point plus games. With four 40 points games in a year where James harden has taken the mantel of best scorer people have forgotten that Dam has played on a MVP level for sure this year.
The second and most important thing he has is leadership. He has shown so much love and respect to his teammates and team. In a interview about the reasoning for not asking for trade. It was multiple reasons but the first one is he wants to win but getting a ring isn't the most important thing. He has put the players he has around higher then being a leader of championship squad. He knows if he leaves the team the players around him could have a change in life in the negative way. Also he wants the competition to get that ring as well. On top of that Damian has a clutch gene like no other. Put the ball in his hands and the ball is going to go in.
Overall Damian is a top ten player in the league with true old school loyalty his team and fans. he has shown so much drive for winning that he wont considered a ring less career as bad thing but he wants it his way. He wont put his pride away to just win a pointless victory.
