Lillard not happy about yet another snub
They forgot about Damian Lillard ... again.
Since 2013, the Portland Trail Blazers point guard has held the record for the fewest games (44) needed to hit 100 threes. Chicago Bulls rookie Lauri Markkanen broke it Monday against the Miami Heat - in just his 41st NBA contest.
More so than having his name erased in the history books under an obscure stat, Lillard was salty about this graphic that doesn't even acknowledge him as the previous record holder:

Lillard, 27, has been overlooked before. He said himself he should've been an All-Star the past two years, and even rapped about it.
The talented floor general is averaging 24.8 points, 6.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals this season for the Trail Blazers, who are in a three-way tie for the final playoff spots in the Western Conference.
