i’m sure he thinks his brick was a great shot
Can’t wait for Pandemic P to brick in the playoffs again
The dislikes are from Paul George and other players that was in Lillard's path ofc.
Lol
U mean playoff p
Paul George hella weak. He proved it when he took a picture of himself kissing his PS5 and published it on social media lol, after a pathetic choke job. He has choked now 3 years in a row.
@@Sayedelamin still gets his bread so who cares
@@Solznmid that’s true lol. Im just some schmuck talking trash, I’m aware.
I don't care what anyone says, this man is already a legend, ring or no ring. When you impact a game at this level where defence schemes are changing just because of you, it's nothing short of legendry. I Always enjoy watching him play, just so entertaining. He and Curry put on a real show at the all-star 2021.
you are so correct on every level it’s incredible
A legend?
this is crazy if yall ever been on an nba court, insane
Bro no lie!
The three point line in a nba court itself is far Asl 😭💯 so shooting further from that is tough
@@zannen24 lol
I'm 6'3" and I can easily shoot a 3 from 30 feet.
@bruh nobody cares or asked pls sthu.
There's a reason they call him Logo Lillard
there's a reason they call Curry range
@@MoonIronTR There's also a reason most people dislike Curry fans. Because of people like you.
@@MoonIronTR I like curry and all but as far as being clutch? He's no where near dame.. sorry
@@MoonIronTR theres a reason curry in his prime(2015-16) made 20 threes from 30 feet and beyond while dame last season made 54 threes from 30 feet and beyond in 41.5% shooting lol
@@NBA1529 no where near Dame? sir stop talking plz 🤦🏾♂️
Y’all can hate him or love him but Dame is still underrated being in a small market team while not getting the recognition he really deserves!! 💯
yeep. I always wonder why Lillard was snubbed over and over again. He's a dangerous player. I always find lillard great even way back with lamarcus aldridge. But cant blame them. He has no chip. Point guards and shooters like curry, irving, cp3 is ahead of him. But every penny he has, HE DESERVES IT!
It's cool tho. Mans got that good ol supermax contract.
@@lemzpotutan2839 CP3 is declining and need a ring to stop getting traded. Kyrie has All stars and always on a playoff team Dame is better than Russ, Steph but his team he carries so their not a powerhouse like others who get better looks....Single handedly he's Top 5 and way better than a lot of Pg's including Steph "chuck 3's up" Curry
When everyone says your underrated, you’re probably not.
@@MegaDAli95 he definitely is because people are still saying curry deserves mvp over lillard, when the stats are super close, but lillard has a better record with an injury riddled team
The crazy thing is he’s doing it while shooting an actual jump shot. It’s like he’s shooting a mid range with ease. No extra strain is needed to shoot from that distance. When trey and steph shoot from that range they have to launch it from a set shot. Dame actually is jumping and releasing at his highest point with no extra strain needed to shoot from that far. This may go to show his under rated strength as a guard. He’s only 6’3 at most so to me that’s very impressive.
FACTS!!! That’s real strength training
my man that's a really good analysis right there
He is 6 2
You're right. but just to add to that, Steph shoots it at a higher clip than Trae. Just saying. Steph is unreal.
He doesn’t release it at the peak, but close enough, you are right. It’s definitely still more of a jump shot than Steph or whoever.
Steph’s going to take this personally
Lol fr 👏🏾
No he ain’t Lmaoo
Steph ain't gotta prove anything tbh, he'll also be the 3 point king
Steph and dame have already stated they respect each other’s game and don’t care much for comparison
already did lol
The nba should try a 4 point line in the all- star game near the logo.
thats a great idea... add a midline as 5 point also.
Lillard's 30 ppg average will be going to 35... 😂😂😂
Lillard would instantly become the MVP.
That’s tough
I would like to see a 10 point line underneath the other side's basket
I swear dame don’t get the credit he deserves when it’s all said and done he a top 5 shooter all time
top 5 point guard too
It's really difficult ... But i hope so ... Magic , curry , Oscar robertson, john stockton, cp3, nash ... So many options
But he can still be top 5 all time shooter
@@vanditgupta22 bro don’t put curry over Oscar Robinson nooooo noooo
@@christopheronyia11 it's not in any particular order ... I was just naming some point guards that can be in top 5
He put in so much work after that New Orleans series he was a all-nba player before that but now he at a mvp level
Honestly that must’ve been a wake up call I knew my boy would come back with a vengeance
I remember at the time everyone was on his head about that series. You don't hear about it at all anymore.
Fair play to his teammates as well for giving him the confidence to keep trying that shot. This would have taken a lot of patience and a lot of Failure AT FIRST.
Dame is a underrated scorer. We talk mainly about KD and Harden as the NBA's current best scorers but Dame should also be in that convo
Kd is literally unguardable lol
It seems like Bradley Beal scoring doesn’t stand out like a KD, Dame or Harden, what makes Beal a great scorer?
Dame is a nuclear weapon
I’d put dame behind guys like durant, harden, curry, and maybe even kyrie but he’s a great scorer no doubt
I don’t think he’s underrated 😂 that’s literally his main weapon since he’s not a good defender
The most under appreciated player in this league.
Trust me that’s false
Amongst casuals, most definitely.
That's because Portland's market is trash.
He is a beast.
so true nobody ever talks about dame its always curry constantly
I like these "Signature moves" videos. It defines a player's game. Keep doing it please.
If you look at Lillard's shot closely and his shooting hand it is something that I've never seen and certainly something never taught to any kid. He actually rolls the ball onto his palm with his fingers not touching the ball, then moves his fingers back on the ball through his shooting motion almost like a catapult. It's unbelievable and, really, not something you could replicate. He's amazing.
He has a very unique way of shooting. It just shows that there is no specific rules to how someone should shoot. Yeah, there are certain things that are essential like having a fluid motion etc and consistency from shot to shot but at the end of the day what works for you works for you. Its about finding a technique that works and then sticking to it.
Dame one of the more loyal players in the nba today... hope he is rewarded with a chip in the future.
Giannis?

@@ZimmFor3 has more what? Steph been taking deep shots since 2015!
@@GrandErickson casual
OKC seem to be on the receiving end of legendary shots in crucial moments
Volume is not efficiency: Curry shoots at 42.8% between 25 & 29 feet, while Lillard is at 40.6%, and between 30 & 34 feet, they're at 40.5% and 33.3% respectively. It's still crazy for Lillard to have those numbers, but it's not enough to call him the best at deep shots.
You just showed why he's the best at deep shots. Everyone knows Steph is the best shooter in general.
This seems to swing back and forth a little. Since 2019 when Dame first started his long range bombing. He’s had years where he’s blown stepg away in total makes from 30-34, and even years where he won in terms of percentage. But of course Steph has come back to take the crown at times as well. Tradipnally tho since 2019 Dame has gotten slightly closer to Steph or even better than Steph the deeper and deeper we go away from the hoop. Seems like Steph almost always wins from 29 feet, often wins from 34 feet, but Dame seems to come out on top 35 plus. Stepg doesn’t really seem to actually take 40 footers unless it’s end of shot clock while dame legit acruallt takes 37 foot shots pretty casually and regularly, but this doesn’t mean he’s better by any means as a shooter. Steph is somehow way better!
There’s always that curry fan girl 😂😂
Editing skills on 💯0

Paul George: That's a bad shot
Dame: Am i joke to you?
😂 he’s probably looking at it for his own point of view! It is a bad shot, for Paul George 🤣
With his quick release and accuracy it’s unstoppable
Next thing you know he’ll be pulling it from Portland at an away game
😂😂💀
Then pulling it from the US at an oversea Olympic game
I'm glad y'all made this video. It had to be done ✅
Absolutely amazing!
Looking at the same game with a new light and changing the whole way it functions. So cool!
Steph changed the game, but Dame is adding his own spice to it
What spice ?
@@cavishwee4014 Dame shoots the deep 3 differently from how Steph does. It’s broken down in this video. That’s his own spice that’s being referred to.
@@HerbJr316 except he doesn’t. Steph does the same, except not as frequently because he has a more efficient shot selection.
Damian was shooting deep 3s during 2013-2014 season and he started getting a hang of making them consistently during the 2015-16 season
Excellent work! I really had no idea... but now I understand.
This was a good video 💪🏿
dame shot is so beautiful and he is so under-appreciated it brings a tear to my eye knowing that nobody cares about dame
he'll be ok.
Nobody gives a dame.
I’ve always said it he’s a beast my favorite player
I like this series, more would be appreciated
They way he makes the deep shots look so effortless that’s why it’s so crazy he doesn’t even change his jump shot no matter where he is
I love how deep three’s have gotten in the League
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the NBA will never heal from that Curry shot.
As LaVar Ball pointed out, Mark Jackson, allowed Curry and Klay to shoot these shots in NBA games on a regular basis. There have always been players who could hit these shoots, the coaches considered it to be "Hot Doggin" "Streetball" and "And 1" or "N Ball" but it has always been a part of urban culture. Coach Greg P does not want his players doing it today because most old-school coaches consider it a low percentage shot. The Ball brothers and thousand of kids all over this country have been doing this for over 60 years but I am glad folks like you have decided to highlight this. Pistol Pete, Chris Herron, Kristap Porzingus, Luka Doncic, and Jason "White Chocolate" Williams could shoot like this as well. Isaiah Thomas has a video talking about this. Thank God Mark Jackson allowed the Splash Brothers to do this because if not, we would never know how great Dame Lillard is
Great video.
i felt like i was watching mini series on "The Ringer" watching this video....way to go Bill Simmons
With AD out for the season this is Dame's Best Chance I'm really rooting for Dame & Melo
since when was AD out for the season?
@@badmontad Achilles is no joke my dude, he can't force it or it might take a toll on his career.
@WCC Blazers don't match up well against Clippers. I love Dame and CJ but they're not beating the Clippers this year
@@badmontad last night he had yet another Achilles injury
@WCC they're actually not the same team. Everyone just says that bc of what happened last year. But they're actually better than they were last year and both the numbers and eye test proves that. It's just nobody will take them seriously till they show it in the playoffs which is understandable. Their chemistry is better and believe it or not, Ibaka and Batum are upgrades from what they had last year.
This guy really changed the game too I’m so happy for Lillard and all fans of the game

@@romariowilliams3893 Kid, do you realize this season Curry is shooting deep threes at a better effeciency than Dame, and he is makeing close to 20 and so is Dame. Curry revolutionized the game, and where was that Clutch gene in the 2019 WCF, did he use it up against the Thunder lmao
Great video! I’m inspired 🏀
this video was dope
Dame is one of the clutchest players in the league rn
I don’t think people understand how hard it is to shoot a ball from 30 feet... let alone 37 feet, with a hand in your face. The strength and precision needed is unbelievable.
Its more about technique than strength.
I do t think strength is that big of a thing in my opinion I just think of Trae young
Deep shooters who can handle the ball are essentially unguardable especially when they have good shooters and a solid big man

The coach is awesome for letting dame pull up
Ancient dudes might be sour about the "Logo Lillard" nickname; but Dame's mechanics is very similar to The Logo himself. It also helps that Dame's clutch. Even further than that, their career arcs are eerily similar.
Dude is arguably the best scorer in the league. Def a MVP candidate right now.

that curry shot made me cry and i quit basketball for some time as a youngin, he burned a memory that will never be forgotten
okc fan?
This shows amazing
Thank you Stephen Curry "Greatest Shooter in NBA History"
Damien Lillard just has to add more offball movement like a Curry to be more effective as a 3 point shooter. His handles aren’t that dynamic but he doesn’t need great handles to create off the dribble cause of those deep 3s, he can get to the rim easily cause teams have to guard him closer, it’s actually better that way no need for over-dribbling
As a Dame Lillard fan, I have no issues with your comment. Good analysis.
@@HerbJr316 Also Dame can post up too. I know shorter PGs don’t post up often but he’s a strong 6’2 guard, he can use his size down on the block. But Dame is really good. I’m not sure how I feel about CJ taking so many 3s being 11 per game when his midrange is so effective but maybe the Blazers doubling down on the 3s with their backcourt can make them more dangerous come postseason
@@anthonycelestin3559 Posting up would take away from how effective he is facing up, and the defense would rush to trap him as soon as he does that. But to your point, Dame, and the entire team in general, should have more motion in their offense. That would create more passing lanes, driving lanes, and more wide open jumpers than they’re already seeing at this time.
@@HerbJr316 True, just post up once in a while, it’s not ideal for Dame to post up often that but its always good to have that as a Plan B
I don’t think dame is gonna do that anytime soon. Besides klay, who do you think has the closest off ball movement to steph? I would say poole.
Pretty amazing what he’s doing. This is insane
Dame Dolla is top 5 in the league and quickly approaching top 3 in the league. He and Curry will be the league's splash brothers for years to come
Man 😎 Damian Lillard really deserved to be an All Star ⭐ this year 🏀.......................
hes not?
Been trynna say it. Obv Steph the greatest shooter of all time and the best shooter right now but in terms of DEEP threes. Dame number 1. Idc how you think of Steph but the numbers are just undeniable
Steph is more efficient plain and simple
Lmao...... steph is the king of all 3s all kinds of 3s......
@@xzginthereaper yea more of an efficient all around shooter but overall dames made more and has been more efficient. Stephs high efficiency numbers on deep three is not as impressive because he doesn’t take as much as dame. It’s More impressive to have high efficiency on high volume
@@naieuc lmao again idc about ur perception of steph. Yes he’s the best shooter of all time but don’t let that make u think illogically. at this point you’re just in denial. So far based on the numbers (you can check them) dame has been the best deep 3 point shooter so far in terms of 28-30+ feet. Now can that be subject to change? Yes. But as of right now the numbers prove that nobody’s as lethal from that range than dame. You can go off ur personal opinion all u want but the stats say otherwise
@@jj1442 lol..... there is no difference from whatever range it is...... it will all count as 3......

He was lifting 💪 too.
@@weselypresely8510 this is the real hard part getting Stronger without altering your shot when you are a shooter....🤣Aye Do Anyone Remember when Karl Malone Started Bulking up...🤣🤣🤣..he was heavvving those 15’ pick and Roll jumpers at the BackBoard 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 if you was watching basketball 🏀 back then it was Painfully Hilarious😖 😂 especially those preseason games..OMG
do some RFD, rate of force development, training for example practice passing including 1 hand push passes with very light object like a balloon, very very light ball, etc. Think of the famous wiffle ball example that is compared to distance can throw a regular baseball and also Bondarchuk's shot put/hammer throwers using different weight shot puts, etc. including light ones. But just for something like basketball don't use the actually shooting with lightened loads (it will mess up the shot and accuracy of shots ie not make the long distance shots even if could improve how far can shoot the shooting percentage will go way down) instead do a more general movement like the chest pass and 1 hand push chest pass that mostly starting from a pause just in front of the body before the pass / throw then work on the maximum distance personal records for that. (This will only work if everything else is already good enough to be able to shoot long distance shots with good form - meaning the basic shooting form looks like it can work well for longer distance shooting, Range of Motion (ROM) of shoulders, etc. is good (able to move shooting arm/elbow all the way up, etc.), absolute strength is good enough, power and explosive exercises are good enough, etc. This works much faster than just taking a lot of shots.
Look at Curry Jr. man so inspirational
This is the curry effect🔥 Dame is a monster!
Dames shot isn’t changing the game, Steph changed it in 2016. Dame just the first guy to follow in his footsteps
Dame is shooting more consistently from the logo than curry I’m not saying he is better at shooting than curry but I don’t think he followed in currys footsteps
Go give him some All Star Voting love on the NBA's website.
