It’s unfortunate,” Lillard said. “When you spend as much time with your teammates as we do, you want it to be positive and you want it to be respectful. But I’d be lying if I said there hasn’t been a lot of heated moments that I’ve seen in my career. Lillard also stated that the video footage should not have been made public. “I’m sure it happens in every locker room,” Lillard said. “You never wish to see that.

Draymond Green and Jordan Poole’s fight sent shockwaves across the NBA
Daimian Lillard continued by speaking about what Draymond Green and Jordan Poole must have thought after their big ugly fight “On the altercation itself, as wrong as it was, I think if you’re a boxing fan, in boxing, they say you’ve got to protect yourself at all times,” Lillard said. “I think Draymond, who I know pretty well, probably walked away from that situation saying, ‘I probably shouldn’t have done that to my teammate.’
“And Jordan Poole’s probably walking away thinking, ‘When I push somebody, I should know that something may come back.’ Finally, Lillard mentioned how NBA players are frequently chastised for their lack of toughness.

“I think it’s become a thing in the NBA where it’s like, ‘Ain’t nobody gonna do nothing.’ Everybody’s always quick to say that,” Damian Lillard said. “So then when somebody does something, it’s the end of the world.”Like I said, it’s unfortunate but if two grown men are having words, and one pushes the other, you’ve got to assume that something might happen. That’s just how I saw it.”
