Despite being one of the better players, in the NBA, Damian Lillard is always in the shadow of other players. Much of this is because his Portland Trail Blazers are a fringe playoff team. Very rarely are they a higher-seeded team, in the playoffs.
Damian Lillard, a few years ago, said his goal was for the Blazers to have a 50-win season, and to make it to the Conference Finals. Last year, they did just that. They won 53 games, beating the Thunder and Nuggets, before being swept by Golden State in the Conference Finals.
