So for Lillard, it’s Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, and Russell Westbrook.
Those three are the guards who have given him the most trouble throughout his many years in the league.
Unsurprisingly, they are three superstars who have all led their teams deep into the playoffs.
And currently, they are all Western Conference foes for Lillard, who is coming back to his Trail Blazers after a couple of seasons away with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Westbrook hasn’t officially decided on his future, but there is speculation about him joining the Sacramento Kings.
Meanwhile, Irving is still with the Dallas Mavericks, even though he will sit out next season because of injury.
As for Curry, he remains with the Golden State Warriors and probably will until the end of his career.
Lillard has point guards whom he is afraid of, but he is certainly a fearsome guard to many others.
He has proven himself as one of the most relentless and effective guards of his generation, able to handle the ball with ease and also create game-winning shots.
There is no doubt that the three players Lillard listed are just as afraid of him as he is of them.
