There is plenty of examples of other positions playing hero ball and winning, but 6 foot guards? There is only Thomas (and this is one of the reasons why he deserves more recognition)
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Guessing you've never heard of Steph Curry.
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Or Dwayne Wade either. What a complete and utter moron you are. Clown.
This was a jordan-esque performance. Bruh did this in thin air 1 mile up in Denver. 2:56 is a travel tho--lifting up the pivot foot before dribbling. To do all this and then play D on another PG is nuts. Takes so much energy--especially 5,280 ft up.
Salute to you, Lillard! - nba fans from Hong Kong
wow he scored 55 points, broke the record for 3s in a playoff game and he still lost. Get this man some help.
omg, here we go with the help. LeBron did the same against the pistons in 2006 and won. Just saying
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 you can’t win in the playoffs alone, and lebron lost that series anyway. dame forced two overtimes to give his team a better chance but they blew it. dame went 17 for 24 while the rest of the team shot 38 percent... nobody else on the blazers even scored 20, and cj, powell, and covington all played over 40 minutes. youre gonna need a lot more than that to win
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 stop being such a dame hater. Just because they lost doesn’t mean it was an unbelievable performance by him.
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 noone watches your podcast boy. The 5 views are you and your family 😂
*Damian Lillard Stats:*
*55 Points*
*17-24 FG, 12-17 3PT-FG, 9-10 FT*
*6 Rebounds, 10 Assists, 1 Steal, 3 Blocks, 1 Turnover*
greatest playoff performance of all time, i mean wtf is even this
I saw this live, I’d bet on Denver that night, and every single time Denver scored it seemed the game was over, but seeing Lillard made shot after shot was another reality of this game
Dame will break a whole team spirit
🚫🧢
This guy is just as good as anybody at PG in the NBA! No debate.
Leave the blazers dame.. he loyal by a fault. He been clutching for the wrong team for years, let’s face it. 🤷🏽♂️ All time Great Performance
If they don't pull their jammies up and deliver their team value, it's time to call it a time ago Dame
MY GOODNESS DAME! The 3 point barrage came in a FLURRY 🔥
Denver nuggets were like playing against the 2k lillard here, hitting 3 after another and one another
Nobody plays fucking video games anymore. Get a fucking life lmfao
This game was just amazing Dame went off
For as good as that man is, he's too humble 🎯💪🏽
Nuggets fans were so confused watching this live. Dame not missing no matter what. Everything is falling. Joker have to step up to survive one of the greatest solo performances in nba playoffs history.
when one of the nuggets coaches just threw his clipboard away 😂
THAT FOUL at the end of OT 1 should have been the game, Portland wins it, that no call was egregious
nah nuggets bench reactions in OTs had me dead lmaooooo
Man.. Dame is becoming one of my fav players
This might be the hottest I've ever seen a player get. Klay has had some moments but this is double OT. Just ❄️ in the veins.
Dame's 12 threes in the playoffs is just more than four days than Klay's playoff record.
Lillard was outscoring the entire Lakers for some stretch.
Dame took to heart the disrespect TNT did when they showed the Suns-Lakers blowout instead of this
🤣🤣🤣rivers reaction after every shot
