Lillard says Westbrook, Harden can't guard him
Damian Lillard is really confident in his game - at least at the offensive end.
The Portland Trail Blazers star recently chimed in on the tight MVP race between Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook and Houston Rockets guard James Harden, publicly endorsing the former after he hit a game-winner in Denver to eliminate the Nuggets and guarantee Portland a postseason berth.
Russ MVP bro. 👀

After giving props to his fellow All-Star point guard, Lillard took some flak for not being able to defend Westbrook or Harden.

Lillard didn't deny that, but suggested they can't guard him, either.

Not many teams have been able to contain Westbrook, Harden, or Lillard. They're all having career years, and are each among the NBA's leading scorers.
