Damian Lillard's Scathing Tweets About LeBron Uncovered

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard said some not-so-nice things about Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James on Twitter in 2011.

Many NBA fans were disappointed with how LeBron James played in the 2011 NBA Finals while on the Miami Heat. Damian Lillard, then-a relatively unknown at Weber State, was among them.

The problem: Lillard tweeted his thoughts about LBJ, which have now come back to bite him.

An Imgur user uncovered Lillard’s old tweets (H/T Deadspin):

"@KingJames please get yo ass out of “too cool” mode and takeover. PLEASE nigga!!! Damn!!!@KingJames I don’t feel bad for yo fake focused ass, I feel bad for dwade, and MYSELF cuz I wanted it more than you. #damnshame@KingJames I may have been one of yo biggest fans. But THIS series u played like a straight pussy.@KingJames talents to south beach? NIGGA!! You took the spotlight nd a ego. You left the talents haha. Them shits in Cleveland."

Lillard has now apologized for the tweets, according to oregonlive.com.

"“It was just irresponsible. It’s something that I’m not proud of. But I can also say that I’ve grown up since then. And I was just a young kid doing crazy stuff with my teammates.”Lillard said he has reached out to James since the tweets were posted and apologized. He said the issue was “not a big deal” between him and James, who have a “friendship.”"

All Lillard can really do at this point is show contrition, so it’s wise that he apologized shortly after the tweets were uncovered.

Still, this is surely very embarrassing for Lillard and a lesson on being careful when using social media.

Lillard scored 10 points and posted five assists for the Blazers during the team’s season opener Wednesday.
