Every NBA player has his list of athletes he admires, and Damian Lillard is no exception. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar recently shared his top five favourite players currently in the league during an appearance on the Club 520 Podcast.

A Passionate Fan of Anthony Edwards

At the top of Lillard’s list is Anthony Edwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ rising star. Damian Lillard praised Edwards not just for his game but for the energy and swagger he brings to the NBA court. “Everybody’s super high on him right now, but I like him because of his energy and his swagger. It’s authentic, and he’s got the game to go with it,” Lillard said, highlighting the authenticity and confidence that Edwards exudes.

The Unique Talents of Ja Morant

Lillard didn’t shy away from including Ja Morant despite recent controversies surrounding the Memphis Grizzlies’ point guard. Lillard acknowledged that some fans might have turned away from Morant, but he remains a firm believer in his talent. “I know what I’m looking at,” Lillard stated, emphasizing Morant’s undeniable skills and impact on the game.

Luka Doncic: A Force to Be Reckoned With

Next on Lillard’s list is Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic. Known for his incredible court vision and scoring ability, Doncic has consistently wowed fans and players alike. Lillard’s inclusion of Doncic speaks volumes about the respect he commands across the league.

Admiration for Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo

Rounding out Lillard’s top five are two of the NBA’s most dominant big men: Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Jokic, the Serbian center for the Denver Nuggets, has captivated Lillard with his versatile play and basketball IQ. Meanwhile, Giannis, the “Greek Freak” of the Bucks, has impressed Lillard with his athleticism and relentless drive.
