On The Mismatch podcast, Chris Vernon and David Jacoby discussed who the NBA's version of golfer Tommy Fleetwood is. In other words, who is a player that everyone would love to see win?
Jacoby had a controversial suggestion: Chris Paul in a Los Angeles Clippers jersey. But they ultimately came to the correct conclusion, going with a more universally beloved superstar in Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard.
Lillard has been more loyal to one single team than Paul. Despite his trade request and two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, only a handful of superstars around the league have had the same amount of loyalty and patience to a franchise.
