2732794, Damien LIllard moves up number 3 on the MVP ladder

He is currently my MVP

NBA.Com:

From NBA.com writer Michael C. Wright:

The Hulu ad campaign should just air this man’s recent highlights on a loop with Lillard in the background freestyling, “Hulu. Has. Live. Sports.” It’s just flat out ridiculous what he’s doing in shouldering the load in Portland with CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic nursing injuries. Clutch time is definitely Dame time, as he’s 12-3 in those situations, burning the opposition down the stretch, sinking 58.8% from deep in the last five minutes of games separated by five points or fewer. He’s not an All-Star starter, but neither was Russell Westbrook the year he won MVP.

Lillard is currently averaging 29.8 points with 7.9 assists on the season. Only Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid rank higher than Lillard on the list at the moment.
