Recently, Knicks player Brunson talked about Lillard's status in the Trail Blazers' history on the "Funmate Show".

Brunson said: "The Trail Blazers have named a road after Drexler. Is Lillard stronger than Drexler? I think as a player, Lillard is better than Drexler, but Drexler has a championship, right? He is the Rockets champion, Lillard is a better player, but Bill Walton won the championship for the Trail Blazers, which means a lot."

Drexler played for the Trail Blazers for 12 seasons, leading the team to the Finals twice but both failed. He applied for a deal in 1995 and was sent to the Rockets to partner with Olajuwon to realize his dream of winning the championship.

Bill Walton led the Trail Blazers to win the only championship in team history and won the MVP in 1978.
