Lillard: Holiday wanted to wear No. 0 but I declined 🤣 I recruited him when he was in the Pelicans
Recently, Trail Blazers new player Lillard was interviewed and talked about his new teammate Holiday.
Speaking of being a teammate with Holiday, he said, "Oh my God, that's one of the things I'm looking forward to. Well, because I obviously bring experience, leadership, and what I have to do as a veteran who has been playing on the court for many years. You know, I've been in this industry for a long time. But it feels great to be able to play alongside another defender with a similar style. He has won two championships, is very experienced, has been selected as an NBA All-Star, and has been in the league for a long time. And his personality, he is a person, I think it will be very good for the team, especially with what I can bring to the team because we're all very similar in these aspects."
"I remember when he left New Orleans , I talked to him about asking him to come to the Blazers. That was a serious discussion, and we all tried hard to make it happen. So I always admire Holiday and always wanted to play with him. I think we would cooperate well. "
"You know, when he first came here, he joked with me and said, 'Can I wear your number? ', I said, 'No, you can't wear my number'. However, later I was cut off, and he obviously knew that I lived here and knew that my family was all here. So he sent me a '👀', and I almost knew where I was going, but I didn't want to say it too early. Now, we are really together."
