Lillard became the only 75-year-old who was cut. How did he beat Howard at the beginning?

In order to sign Turner, the Bucks actually cut off Lillard with extended terms. Lillard is the biggest star to be cut and the only 75 superstar to be cut. How did Lillard's 75 superstars be selected? Does he have an advantage over Howard?

In the 2021-22 season, the NBA celebrated its 75th anniversary and also launched the selection of 75 superstars at the right time, which can be regarded as a check for the 50 superstars' selection. However, once the list of the 75 superstars was announced, it still caused an uproar. Among them, Lillard's name is listed, while Howard is not listed.

People were inexplicably surprised. Howard was selected as the All-Star in his career, 8 times selected as the Best Team, 5 times selected as the Best Defensive Team, 3 times selected as the Best Defensive Player, led the Magic to the Finals in 2009, and won the championship with the Lakers in 2020. Among them, when he played against the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, his defense against Jokic was awesome, and he was teased that "even Jokic had to defend closely when going to the bathroom." He also won the rebounding champion five times and blocking champion two times.

Lillard is among them. At that time, Lillard also played for the Trail Blazers. His honors at that time were mainly 7 All-Stars, 6 Best Teams, and won the Best Rookie. He did not win any of the important honors (MVP, Best Defensive Player) and never led the Trail Blazers to the Finals. Why did he be selected?

After all, in the United States, Lillard is much higher than Howard's evaluation. At that time, there was a one-select for Lillard, who scored very high; Howard had a big fight with the coach in his early years, and then went to the Lakers and then had a big fight with Kobe, and he switched to the Rockets after a season. Looking at it today, Lillard is actually not a leader in the Trail Blazers.

After Lillard was cut, he had no worries about not having a next player. A double-digit team contacted him, which should include the Heat. At that time, I tried my best to get him, and now I can finally renew my relationship.

Lillard is the only 75 superstar who was cut off, I wonder if it is embarrassing or not?
