Damian Lillard may have been overlooked on Team USA but NBA Live saw fit to make him their cover athlete for the latest version of the game.
During Team USA ‘s game against Puerto Rico at Madison Square Garden, Coach K left Damian Lillard on the bench for the entire game. Later that night the final 12-man roster was announced and low and behold, Lillard was cut and did not make the team. As is normal Twitter behavior, a follower decided to crack a joke on Lillard riding the bench but Dame hit him with that ether. Lillard also took being cut from the team in stride, saying it’ll fuel him to get better.
