God I miss Mike & Mike so damn much dude... I'm overwhelmed every time I hear those clips from those game winners of Dame by hearing their energy, passion and joy. Best fucking commentators ever.
That dame buzzer beater against okc is the craziest buzzer beater I've ever seen
Excellent video, again. Covered the players really well.
IT'S DAME TIME
Dame Dola
⌚️
In Milwaukee
Thomas Robinson Also and Almost played on The Philippines for the San Miguel Beermen, he didn't play for San Miguel because of an injury
All I want is for my guy to win a chip 😢
12:22 Clyde Drexler and Bill Walton.
No Walton for sure he lead the team to one good year in 79 but then got injured and sipped sure he won mvp but again bro it was just one year. Clyde tho different story I think you could go both ways.
@@armenz2663 Yeah
nice video
and also first
Thanks
Honestly if Beal was healthy early on in his career him and wall could’ve gone farther
Great take, how good was Wall in his 'prime' though
@@XabzintheNBAGurutop 10 pg for about 2-3 years just a mini Westbrook in a way and Beal is just a scoring machine he had to have all realized that by 2021
@@ossieldelvalle1231 was he still that guy during the playoffs
@@XabzintheNBAGuruYes
Charlotte should had picked him instead and that was a huge mistake.
Don't believe scout that's the lesson for this vid😂
So imagine a kyrie, lillard backcourt .. and LBJ joining later .. damn 😂
So basically a much better version offensively of Dame and CJ
No defence at all
I can’t wait for you to do Jokic, video gonna be two hours
Bron was not scared of wizards 😂😂
Didn’t the blazers draft drexler? Who took them to two finals? And didn’t they draft bill Walton? Who won them a chip?
Lmao none of them are better then dame wtf u talking about
@@angelclouds3233 wtf are you talking about? Drex is a top 5 shooting guard who took them to the finals TWICE as the best player. Something lillard has never done. And Walton might be the greatest what if ever when you consider what he did accomplish. You know win an mvp and a chip with the blazers before he got hurt. Also something lillard has never done 🤣 the fuck the talking about
curry was drafted no.7, Jokic no .41, and Wilt Chamberlain was (technically) UNDRAFTED. No.6 isnt bad
Wow guys thanks for 130+ likes and all these replies yes yes wilt was a territorial pick chill out I forgor also yeah a bunch of other players were a lot lower than 6 as well read all those replies ( :
Edit 2: wow how did i not put giannis here he was like 12 or smth
But lower than 5 is still a missed for most teams that picked others over him
wilt wasnt undrafted?
wilt was a teritorial pick, so he technically was drafted before the draft
@@casbra8191true
Ginobili, Kobe, Karl Malone were also picked outside the top 10
He deserves a team like the bucks
This could be a hot take but I think dame is top three most clutch or even the most clutch all time
While I don’t follow basketball very much I have been a trailblazers fan and he is my favorite player
dame time
DAME WAS THE PICK IN THAT DRAFT.
It’s kind of hard to argue AD was a worse pick
LeGM asking for Dame is funny 😭💀
May have fallen short during his career? He is under contract for 3 more years. Maybe he gets traded but that is his choice, he basically owns the franchise.
well now beal is on the suns
As warrior fan it’s kinda sad too see dame he the second best shooter in NBA sometimes the best one if just if GSW became crappy org like port I can see curry in the same position as dame I hope he can find championship somewhere else
Bro is comparing Damian Lillard to Steph Curry LOL
@@RegicideSoVit’s really not a terrible comparison, they’re similar players. Steph fans get so butt hurt when ppl aren’t on his knees for him. “bUt 4 RinGs ThO”. Shut up
Dame ain’t done nothing in his career and this is coming from someone who hates the Warriors with passion-don’t compare an all-time great with an all-star. There are levels to the game and Dame ain’t anywhere close to Steph.
@@TheOfficalPaper put dame on the warriors they win the same rings. Put Steph on the blazers he’d have no rings. They’re both small guards who shoot well and put up similar numbers…….
@@Dsneedy But that isn’t the way things went. A large portion is luck when you get drafted-enough with the “what ifs” and just accept the fact that Dame will never be Curry and isn’t anywhere close.
Dame Time!!!!!
You should do Jokic😂😂😂
And Dion got a ring before dame💀😂
You should do one of these on Jokic
😅🤣
There's no rookie of the year in college😑
Freshman of the year
dame time in milwaukee
Dame time
Weber st has not had 8 players drafted. The Big Sky has had 8 total.
I assume u meant conference, not college
Dame & the miami heat players seems to have a lot in common
Second
Can you do what happen to the 59 player drafted before Isaiah Thomas
The bubble ring 🤣🤣🤣
On Bradley Beal he said 250 billion dollars instead of million
this guy said damian lillard is a top 5 player of all time 😂
Not even top 20 no mvps or playoff success
@@Isipdirtydrugs2 of the best buzzer beater walks off in playoff history most 3s in a playoff game has drop 50 plus 3 times in a playoff game has hit the most clutch shots and 3s in a playoff game stfu y’all don’t know shit he definitely top 10 all time
@@angelclouds3233 you are a crack fein my friend curry Lebron MJ Shaq Hakeem Bird Magic Kobe Dwade Duncan Karl Mosses Malone Stockton
Yo Henry can you please pin ❤
Yo Henry not sure I agree Dame is greatest Draft Pick of all by Trail Blazers...or at least I would not just blow off Clyde Drexler without a second thought.
At this point, Dame is past Clyde the Glyde.
@@samuelmunoz1464clyde was a 2 way player
Yes but Clyde ain’t win it with the blazers, yes dame ain’t win one either but Dame the greatest blazers for the blazers, and greatest blazers of all time so far
Right Clyde Drexler was two players and a great one, Dame not so much, hell Step even plays better "d" than Dame Dollsr...Clyde Drexler is #43 in rankings of the top 75 players in NBA History...hey that saying a lot...my goodness.
Bill Walton won A Championship and MVP with the Blazers
Imagine if the Kings picked him. Lillard would have been the perfect player to pair with Boogie imo.
AD still goes number 1 dame number 2
Undoubetedly the best trailblazer pick? Not so sure about that. I think Bill Walton was the best one, since he led the blazers to a championship. Also he was MVP.
I'm guessing he was #1 overall, so in that context of being a no-brainer perhaps Dame at #6 could be considered better. But also in that context Clyde Drexler at #13 would be even better value. So no matter how you slice it it was a misstatement by the narrator of the video.
Bro stop it what year was that in? Playing with a bunch of construction workers 😂😂😂😂
Definitely not better then dame on any planet in any time stop it y’all are delusional asf it’s sad asf look at dames numbers they don’t lie
Nah Clyde Dre let is the best blazer ever
Wilt not drafted that's crazy
5:30 Anthony Davis HOF? Are you ok buddy? Yeah he was great in the bubble. But can't stay consistently good and get's injured a ton. Unless next few seasons he finds some untapped potential bubble AD was best what we saw from him and one title season is not enough for HOF especially when most of his season were not that great in terms of achievements.
👉 ⌚
Ad better
I’m not gonna lie this is the best point guard NBA era ever !!! Lillard curry irving CP3 Ja Morant Darius Garland ,Harden is a point guard ever since he left OKC lol Luka , IDC lebron is a PG just accept and live with it, jamal murray Shai alexander De’Aron fox trae young Lamelo ball and you got scoot henderson and amer Thompson
Damn dame! “He was on my ass” you could have said he was motivating me.. wth bro
Lillard or Drexler?
but he is going to go to miami
Only Davis and beal are well deserved of being drafted before dame
Not beal, but if dame was to the wizards there would be trouble...
Anthony Davis look like he got microcephaly...
God bless all! Jesus is the way ✝️🤍
wait, wait, wait. Is Anthony Davies really HOF material?
He did make the Top 75 team so that's a clear indication that he's making the HOF
I think so
@@Teekaydee_16 Hot take: Dwight should have made it over AD for the 75th team
If Chris Webber is a Hall of Famer then yes. Yes he is
@@dragoonfang747onb
They want to teams that werent the blazers i don't care
And now hes getting traded lol
Better than Drexler who led them to the finals
Yea and 10 years from now youll be making a video called
"Why Damian lillard never won a ring"
Lmao not if he goes to the heat then the video will be how dame when on a 3 peat and had the league on there knees believe that because it’s gonna happen
Dame ain't even the second best portland draft, bill walton and clyde drexler had much better careers then dame
Lmao don’t compré them bums to dame none of them are top 75 all time players dame is the most clutch shooter to ever play this game
Same better than both brother.
Dame cheated in those combines . He had on them flu game 12s . They give you a boost in fatigue resistance . Ask Mj lol 😆
AD better than lame. MKG and Dion waiters bust. Beal not as good as lame but an Allstar.
Dame**
To be fair as fragile as AD has been I would have gladly taken dame first. He road Lebron to a ship if not for bron AD would have been out of the league already.
