別讓我不開心！Damian Lillard 對明星賽落選一事 失望表示：謝謝大家 會更加努力！

冬西區明星賽的替補名單一公佈，許多球迷為拓荒者後衛 Damian Lillard 感到可惜與憤怒，但因湖人明星後衛 Kobe Bryant 的因傷退出，名額改由聯盟總裁 Adam Silver 決定由誰遞補，結果一出爐將由國王表弟 DeMarcus Cousins 代替出賽，這也是表弟首次入選全明星賽！而 Damian Lillard 針對此事失望受訪，表示自己沒有受到一定的尊重，講到自己的打球風格無私、高效率，又能為球隊贏球，而這些正是大家所談到的全明星該有的表現。Damian Lillard 也難得感性在自己的 Instagram 上發佈多則文章，講到這次的落選一事將會激勵自己、讓自我更加努力，謝謝支持他的教練、球迷與 Adam Silver 總裁。喜歡 Damian Lillard 不妨追蹤他的官方 Instagram，以表支持！

I just want to thank everyone that felt I wasn’t good enough. This isn’t unfamiliar territory for me. It actually is what my life has been inspired by. I’d be lying if if I said I wasn’t disappointed or that I don’t feel disrespected, but it’s not too much to handle. Not the first or last guy to be snubbed, but “you should have been there” is not good enough for me. But anyway, the reason I’m in these shoes is because I’ve always used the hand I was dealt to my advantage. A wise man once told me “it ain’t always gone be peaches and cream, but somebody has to pay for the reason it’s not…one way or another.” #ImThankful #Real #NonAllStar #RipCity #YellowTape
