NBA Superstar Damian Lillard recently spoke with Complex Magazine. During the interview, he compared the WWE Attitude Era to today’s NBA. He said,
“That’s the best era in wrestling; The Attitude Era. It’s similar to [The NBA] in how, there were so many stars in their own lane. You had Stone Cold, The Rock, Kane, Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Rikishi. A bunch of people who weren’t, maybe the top dogs, but they were still WWF Superstars. The league is similar to that. I probably won’t ever be LeBron James or Kevin Durant because I’m always going to be [smaller] and this person, but I can be a star at being who I am and there’s going to be people out there who are going to look at me as their favorite. It’s similar in that way.”
