Damian Lillard's first series-winning buzzer-beater needs a deep rewind | 2014 Blazers vs. Rockets
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Damian Lillard's history of clutch NBA shots had to start somewhere and ... well, he didn't wait long. Lillard's first ever playoff series presented an opportunity to win the whole thing with one dagger.
To understand what a big deal that was, you need to look back at how the 2014 Trail Blazers came to be. That story includes a history of excellence, then a turn for the worse, followed by the exciting rise of LaMarcus Aldridge, but also the sad tales of guys like Brandon Roy.
And this was a Rockets team that had just found James Harden a co-star, trying desperately to avoid a second-straight playoff washout.
This was a big moment; one of the first and brightest in Lillard's career. Let's rewind it!

Lillard quote on this play: "When I stepped on the court, Mo Williams kept telling me “Go to the ball, go to the ball.” I was like, “That’s not the play.” He was like, “I don’t care. Go get the ball.” "
Thats leadership right there, knowing who to go to when and instilling the confidence within them to succeed.
i reemember he said i think knuckleheads the play wasnt for him aswell
yeah, their bum coach got all the blame for aldridge choking
Mo was never considered to be a good player,but man this man is a true vet
@@whammyhighroller you kiddin?
Couple years later: Damian Lillard's second series-winning buzzer-beater needs a deep rewind
This implies there are more series-winning-buzzer-beaters and I'm okay with that.
*couple weeks later
@@bgarcia5g no, couple years later lmao
Fingering Things ✔️ lillard a chance to send the thunder home LILLARD LONG RANGE 3
@@eastonhopkins6947 He said series-winning, not game winning.
The Beginning of Dame time basically this one is going to be great.
Yeah, they are good but not great...
They are just folding to the Lakers in the playoffs right now after winning game one.
@@KennyMcCormick99 I Never said the blazers was great I'm talking about the video
Damien X both Cj and dame have been injured all through this series and the blazers starting pf has been out for all the games, plus the amount of foul calls In favor of the lakers is insane
@@hkybr6960 Hhhmmmm...
That sounds more like an excuse then a legit reason lol
Damien X lillard had to leave 2 games lol and he is missing game 5 and cj broke his back spinal as well
Wanna know pain? Look at Dwight's face after Dame sinks the shot. That's a look of giving your all & its still not enough. Absolutely brutal.
What a moment in history!
Can't wait to see Dwight smile brightly in October.
@@noob.168 he will be a champion in a week
Dwight has come a long way!!
Reminds me of Donovan Mitchell
Honestly, that face Dwight made back then is so forgotten about I'm surprised I haven't seen more memes of it LOL
Okay, now you HAVE to do a Rewind for his second series-winning buzzer-beater against the Thunder in 2019.
Yea
True
Lol it's to early maybe they will 4 yrs form now.
@@isaiahjamestolentino415 nah
Nah kawhi Leonard's corner fadeaway
I love Dwight finally getting some recognition for this series. Harden was the issue this year. LaMarcus’s back to back 40 was monstrous as well
Pandemic P: “That’s a bad shot”
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do it! Lmao
Me and my homeboy like to call him "Put-out P"😂
PG 13% back at it again
I always forget how good Dwight was when he first got to Houston.
everyone seems to
I was waiting for this comment, definitely his clutch and carry job in 2014 for the Rockets Is yet another moment and performance of his that swipes away all the myths surrounding Dwight.
The problem with Dwight Howard is that he didn't evolve his game. So when he got hurt he had nothing to make him look good, or even decent. Now he looks great because he's not being asked to lead a team. He's not even asked to lead the bench. As far as legacy he should've been a 3rd star like Bosh but they treated him like he should be #1. He probably wouldn't want to give up on all the endorsements and pay of being the #1 for years though
post-orlando dwight is one of the most underrated players of the 2010s
He was a #1 guy... he went to finals leading a not amazing team but good.
Though I’m a Rockets fan, i love watching this shot. The pain.....
Well, you got to take L’s at times. We were 2-0 on these. Must admit this wasn’t the first anti-Houston thing I thought about.
the pain bro
@@KWCline91 What was the first anti-Houston moment that came to mind for you might I ask. I can't think of any other recent ones that this. Maybe my memory is a bit short, but help me out on this?
Mchale was an awful coach. Notice how Parsons was the one having to coordinate defensive assignments while he stood by with his mouth open
That "Welcome to a moment in history" line always gets me
ITS LILLARD, HE GOT THE SHOT OFF, LILLARD GOT ITTTTTT, GOT IT, AND THE BLAZERS WIN THE SERIES, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 14 YEARS!!!!
Hate to be that person but *14 YEARS!!!! apparently
Also hate to be that person, but *HE GOT THE SHOT OFF, LILLARD GOOOOD! GOOOOD!!
Angela Akhidime ohh shoot that’s my B. I coulda sworn I texted 14but that’s my B
mike tirico is a national treasure
Max Siegel just edit it 😅
"AND THE BLAZERS, WIN THE SERIES, FOR THE FIRST TIME, IN FOURTEEN YEARS!!!!!" As a Blazers since I was a kid, born and raised in Portland, my 14 year old self when I saw this changed my life. I acted in complete pandemonium when he made the shot and I was crying tears of joy and relief. Never did I think I was going to experience such a high from basketball again... ;) (Waiting on that rewinder)
I was like 11 when this shot happened and had been a Blazers fan all my life up till then. (Still am.) I think I also thought that was the coolest thing I had ever seen in sports at the time. It’s still one of my favorite shots of all time. Definitely a cool experience.
I remember going to my 8th grade locker room the next morning and my PE teacher had the newspaper article title “0.9” hanging on the wall already. It was all anyone wanted to talk about that morning
Seeing Roy's knees deteriorate as a Blazers fan was, and still is so heartbreaking. They really could have done it if he was healthy.
I watch the 2011 comeback against the Mavs. It makes me choke up. It was like watching the old man give one last great performance, but he was still so young.
imagine Aldridge with a healthy Brandon Roy and a healthy Greg Oden. they definitely would of won a chip
I loved that team.
@@aaronmendoza277 you forgot that before Oden there were guys named Bowie and Walton
Roy is the nicest guy too. Total class act.
“This is Damian Lillard, who at first looked all casual with his head cocked and his shoulders slumped and then the whistle blew annnd uh oh.” The most accurate description of Dame I’ve ever heard
Great, Seth is back! The best voiceover person in the group
By a landslide.
@Adam Loukia yeah jon is a close 2nd
@@moisesarmando3156 fax
Dude said Houston made the series 3-2 when he’s talking series clinching shot
@@moisesarmando3156 Facts, I was hopelessly wondering if we were about to have the Dame-Dwight 2014 Rockets shot rewind ruined as far as commentating.
Though the similar looking colleague plus the bearded colleague aren't that far off him, those too are great rewinds, collapses etc with them.
"AND THE BLAZERS!!!"
"WIN THE SERIES!!!"
"FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!"
"IN FOURTEEN YEARS!!!"
One of the most epic calls in NBA history
i don’t even support the blazers but when the shot went in i just went crazy w the commentator
Mike tirico was great during this game.
That’s cap
That’s not an epic call in history tbh
@@parkergibb8005 Okay
I was eating instant noodles on my couch when this happened, and I still remembered the moment when I stop chewing the noodles in my mouth and watched that ball went in. Simply amazing
TMI peter
Of course you were eating noodles
Everytime i hear “welcome to a moment in history” i get chills down the spine. the call made it 10X better too
Greg Oden, Brandon Roy, and Lamarcus Aldridge. Oh what could have been...
I still believe that trio would have had a shot at a title, had all of them been healthy and played to their full potential, though we rarely saw Oden being able to do that unfortunately. They also had a really good supporting cast in 09-10 with Miller, Blake, Fernandez, Batum, Outlaw...
@@misterrominade7928 Facts bro.
7 years later SB shall revisit Damian Lillard’s buzzer beater which ended OKC
Well, as we knew it. They honestly came back stronger imo which sucks for us blazer fans😭
He didnt ended OKC. He started OKC,i have many OKC fans and they're happy about Dame's buzzer beater. Not at the time of the game but after. It results to OKC to realize,well we suck,lets trade Russ and start rebuilding. Now look at OKC, 5th Seed with tons of future around them
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Y’all think too far lol
Ok ended OKC’s chances of going through sheesh
It's gotten to the point where I literally come back and watch this video anytime I feel sad. Always helps cheer me up. Go Blazers.
everybody loves to say dwight fell off after orlando, but that man was really keeping this team in this game
He did it again against the Clippers to actually come back from 3-1.
Injuries ruins games
Yeah, all those soft, role player etc myths and revisionism get squandered after checking his stardom carrying, clutch etc.
No wonder he's the face of the Rockets, he was about to pull a 3-1 comeback if not for the Dame insanity moment.
"Thirteen straight seasons without clearing the first round is the longest such drought in the NBA"
As a Charlotte Fan, we coming for ya'll.
You have to make the playoffs first.
Dwight's hitting 5 straight free throws in the 4th should be the rewind
I love this channel. I'm from India and I hardly ever follow American sports. But I've watched almost every single video of yours. You deserve way way more subs. Keep up the awesome work.
@0:45 he’s says Houston up 3-2 lol
Junior Navarro no. He says they’ve made it a 3-2 series
Golden Knife I noticed lol I was super high this morning off some granny Mac !
The Stories behind sports are always cool.
Dwight Howard be like:
"Gods, I was strong then"
You have ever crack the egg?
FETCH MY WINE BEFORE A PISS MASELF!!!
7 years later SB shall revisit Damian Lillard’s buzzer beater which ended OKC
Just made a game of thrones reference in my other reply then i saw this. Hell yeah lol
brandon roy’s game winner against houston deserves a rewind 🥺
Another great moment for a great player like Roy, only team to not get mollywhooped by those 2011 greatest Mavs team of all-time was the Blazers, and It was his last act too on his remaining toe.
Rewind anything for Brandon Roy still my favorite player
Howard had a really good series and nobody talks about it...
It's because of his softness myth and unjustified hate rain.
Damian Lillard has the coldest of ice water in his veins.
sub zero
He didn't celebrate after this and he didn't celebrate after the Thunder shot...cold!
I swear if you touch him you'll get frostbite
Can’t beat the Lakers tho:(
It's a glycol solution, to keep it flowing
That was fun, see y’all in a few years for the shot against OKC 😬
1 or 2 at most I would say, and at least hope.
Bruh when I got the notification at first i though it was the one against the thunder lol
“Heartbreak first requires legitimate hope” low key a great and real quote, I’m also high.
This might’ve been the best all-around playoffs in recent memory. I’m a huge Celts fan, but Dame is prob my favorite player. Such an exciting moment. Such a good team. They really had a shot that year. Was super bummed LA left. Anyway, great vid guys.
*One of the best Blazer related videos EVER! Bravo! I honestly got chocked up, because I witnessed a lot of what you referenced and/or know the history... This took me back, and I remember the exact emotions I felt at the moment Lillard hit that series winning 3-pointer... Amazing.* #ripCITY
Y’all ever watch a game and think to yourself “this is gonna be a SB Nation rewind”
Exactly, that's the right and far mindset
SB Nation’s a savage for posting this when the Blazers are trailing 1-3
Or maybe a motivator
I love this channel keep doing great work you guys .
I’ve been asking for a rewinder on this since the series started, possibly one of the best calls I’ve ever heard
PLEASE do a rewind on Brandon Roys heroics in the 2011 playoffs vs the Mavs. The man was playing on basically one knee.
Exactly his last, but especially greatly impressive, act, only player and team to not get stuffed by those 2011 stacked greatest Mavs team of all-time.
big support from Italy, this series is one of the best that you can see on RUclips! The way you tell the stories behind these unique moments is absolutely incredible
Seconding this, of course!
He then got on a table and stole a microphone.
This is my all-time favorite blazers moment!
It's crazy how the day after this video was posted, Damian Lillard did an in-depth analysis where he pointed out notable facts.
1. Parsons and Beverly were talking about the defensive scheme which distracted them from Lillard running towards the ball.
2. The play was drawn for a lob pass towards Aldrige.
3. The inbounder had no idea that Lillard was going to come, that's why he clapped his hand
(The interview I'm referencing is a video it's by House of Highlights and it's "Damian Lillard reacts to Damian Lillard highlights" )
As always great video SB nation, it was very well made + Dame is one of my favorite players of all time. :)
“I sent Pat Bev home a few years ago.” This was that moment.
My 5th grade teacher was at this game. He later told me that the silence of heartbreak with .9 seconds left, to a miracle victory made his ears ring. I will remember this game for the rest of my life.
Paul George: “That’s a bad shot.”
Nothing makes a great moment better like "welcome to a moment in history"
Dwight and LaMarcus going at it in the post was so fun in the series
4:32 "Dr. Beardface..." Did you just drop a SCRUBS reference in the middle of a Rewinder??
I remember watching this when I was younger on ESPN highlights. It was the first time I ever understood the hype around basketball and I don’t know if I’ll ever forget it
Y'all as clutch as dame for this 💖🖤🔥🔥
I get literal chills everytime I hear him say "Welcome..to a moment in history... " 😭😭😭😭
DEEP REWIND is by far my favourite series by SB Nation. I don't think there's one episode that I didn't like. Keep up the good work guys!
hella chills watching the shot at the end
man this moment means so much to me and i’m not even a blazer fan. every generation has that one shot that started it all for them, and for us teenagers i feel like this is that shot. watching this just gives me flashbacks to st patrick’s day jerseys, and playing nba 2k13 and that one nba jingle bell commercial. such a good time to be a young fan of the nba. too bad you never know your in the good ole days until there over, cause man those were the good ole days.
SB Nation yall are legendary!
On behalf of all Blazers fans, thank you for this. Our current playoff series has been ass to watch, so this was much needed lol
Why would you do this to me I thought we were friends? I’ve been watching and liking these videos since they began and this is how you repay my patronage smdh
I moved to America from Africa around that time and I saw that shot in fell in love with basketball and the blazers
Let’s go the series is back
Dame Had grown so much but his rookie season he put everyone on notice hitting cold blooded shots . And the super confidence . #MambaMentality
Doing this when Dame's about to get thrown out of the playoffs is mean...
Give him something to watch after they lose 4 straight 😂
When you have Anthony Davis, the best Big man in the NBA and a top 5 NBA player, leading the Lakers in every statistic except for Assists, yeah. While outside of An injured Dame, the Blazers have underachieved.
@@MrLatrunks14 The Blazers haven't underachieved, they achieved exactly what they always achieve. A first round exit by a better point guard (Lebron/Steph).
Lenard Williams we had to overachieve to even reach this point lol. If you had told me in January that we’d be in the playoffs I would have called you a liar
Ballin Basketball show me all the other teams that have been beating steph in the west in the past half a decade
This video was extremely well put together, built up the tension so nicely and waited until the last seconds to finally show this absolutely beautiful shot. Even though i’ve seen this buzzer beater a hundred times it still felt incredibly exciting because of how good the narration was!
Been waiting for this one
"Welcome to a moment in history" always gives me the chills.
the 2013-14 season was the first year i started watching the nba consistently before that i would only watch casually so the 2014 playoffs were the first i truly watched and got to experience so i remember this very vividly i was amazed by this portland v houston series
PG13% From the Floor: “That’s a bad shot”
“PG13% From the Floor” 🤣🤣🤣
I was there and that Parsons go ahead basket had EVERYONE in the building dead. Best blazers moment other than ‘77
I love how they had to emphasize "first"
Great stuff. The best 1-second commentary I've ever watched / heard. (From a Dame fan.)
This was the first basketball series I ever watched as a little kid... this moment was insane
Jeez, Harden with ONE FG in the 4th? Holy missing person alert.
The insight in this video is brilliant, great job putting this together!
Rewinder idea: Andy Dalton pass to break the Bills playoff drought
Hahaha that was iconic
Pleaae
I just got chills. I will never forget this moment. I re-enacted it constantly in my driveway for years after it happened.
Let’s go boys SB uploads another basketball video
Man I’ve been waiting what feels like too long for another rewind. Let’s go
Y’all remember when people said Blazers in 4....whoops wrong video
MikeEdits they had several injuries
This video is beautifully made. So many memories
The creation of Eric Silver deserves a deep rewind.
Still remember this like it was yesterday, watching on tv and just knowing, he’s got this. Special rewinder right here thank you SB!
This really reminds me how people really over play the whole "Downfall of Dwight Howard" narrative. The guy was so close to reinventing himself at Houston and even made the All NBA Second Team while wearing a Rockets uniform. Unfortunately, he got hit with the injury bug.
He was also a key cog in helping them overcome a 3-1 series deficit that next year
Love this series. Welcome to a moment in history 🤯
Bro why is everyone so hyped on a guy that’s about to make another first round exit 😂😂😂 “dame time”
LeBron has had quite a bit of playoff success. You should just watch videos of him all day. Then you'll be nonstop hyped, bro!
Thank you SB Nation, I have requested this on a list in recent videos. This is gonna be good! ⏱
I remember laughing so hard at the rockets when this happened lmao
Because you a hater
That was a really, really enjoyable breakdown to that moment. It's the kind of moment this show is meant for. Very nice work!
Hi
hi!
Dude!! This video is awesome!! This is my first time watching your video and probably wont be the last!!!
Here when LMA retired😭
this shot legit made me watery-eyed at how beautiful of a shot it was. One of the nicest shots I have ever seen.
D A M E T I M E
This made me very happy as a blazer fan. Now PLEASE rewind Brandon Roy’s game 4 performance against Dallas in the 2011 playoffs
B Roy did it to Houston first not to eliminate them but damn
Wasn’t that a Thursday night TNT game in November 2008?
FACTS
Mike Tirico with the call of a lifetime. I’m a rockets fan and it still gives me goosebumps hearing him call this shot
"ITS BEARDFA-CE!" ...anyone? Just me?
This is hands down the best sports series on the internet. Even though I know what's coming the writing and delivery puts me right back in that moment. I always get chills at the end of these episode when the play unfolds.
Bruh why did Harden call for that switch??
Navid yea pat bev could’ve easily maneuvered around the screen as he studies everyone he defends
Harden doesn't play defense, of course he'd call a bad switch.
Aldridge and Dame are the two I PRAY finally win it all. Future HoFers but just need that ring.
Mike Tirico’s call on this play was 100 percent me watching in my friend’s living room. Everyone else was asleep besides my friend and I, and I remember being so bummed Parsons hit that put back. But then, watching intently, Lillard hit the shot of a lifetime. As a Blazers fan, it was absolute euphoria.
Out here killing it as usual, thanks fam!
"welcome to a moment in history"
Eargasm everytime. What I always look forward hearing ♥️
