Like many fans, Damian Lillard is still reeling from being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks earlier this week.
No one is quite sure where Lillard will land, but he is certain that his career future remains bright.
Writing on social media, Lillard made it clear that people should continue to bet on him.
“If they call it a “gamble” at this stage… tell em this the jackpot,” Lillard wrote on X.

The NBA world was rocked when Lillard was let go by the Bucks as they acquired Myles Turner from the Indiana Pacers.
Just a couple of seasons ago, Lillard was sent to Milwaukee in a blockbuster trade that threatened to shake up the Eastern Conference.
But it never panned out that way.
Instead, Lillard and his team faced multiple injuries, coaching changes, and a conference that was only growing tougher.
When the summer came around this year, there were rumors of Giannis Antetokounmpo wanting to leave the team.
It was clear the front office was going to do something, but few people saw this coming.
Lillard is aging and injuries are becoming more frequent, but he still has gas in the tank and wants to play.
There are already multiple teams intrigued by the prospect of signing him.
He is currently without a home in the league, but it won’t be that way for long.
And this message makes it obvious that he has something to prove and believes that no one should count him out.
