Damian Lillard completely bodied a Twitter troll.
For some reason, Twitter trolls have been out in full force of late. Often times on social media, you’ll see people try and talk trash to superstar athletes, not expecting them to respond or say anything at all.
Unfortunately for one random NBA fan, Portland Trail Blazers sharpshooter Damian Lillard has all the time in the world to issue a response and completely roast someone at the same time. That much was made clear on Monday night. Twitter user @ilikekeaton decided to take a shot at Lillard, blasting him for not being as good as Russell Westbrook. Lillard’s response was sensational.
Damian Lillard has become a master at taking down his haters on Twitter
Not only did Lillard send this poor guy to the moon, but he also forced him to delete his tweet and make his account private. Dude, ever heard of not dishing it out if you can’t take it? Lillard flipped this poor fella’s world upside down.
In addition, he also had to slip in a great Johnny Manziel diss in as well. If you click on the profile for @ilikekeaton, you can see there’s a bit of a resemblance to the former Texas A&M star quarterback. That’s what makes things all the more hilarious.
This of course isn’t the first time Lillard has put a Twitter troll in his place. He, along with many other studs in the league, won’t hesitate in dancing with a hater online if they feel they’ve crossed the line. A lot of times these ‘keyboard warriors’ will just fire off idiotic posts and think they can get away with it. Nope, not on Lillard’s watch.
Not even Shannon Sharpe is safe! Stay away from Lillard on social media, people. It surely won’t end well for you if you try to tango with him.
