“I think everybody looks at closing and they say you know who made the big shot? For me, personally, I prefer to be the one to take the shot. Just because in that moment you can put your team in position to either get over the top, or the team falls short. 

For me, as the leader of my team, I think part of it is I’m most comfortable being the person that has to answer the question because I know I can move on from it if I don’t make the shot, or if I don’t make the play.” 

Lillard further continued, “I can handle the success if I do make the shot, or the play. For me, I would prefer to make that final decision, but I don’t think—I think when you think of a closer, you think of a person that’s going for the team’s neck, that’s taking the shot.”
