Story of him taking his jersey off and losing the game because of the technicals is a great one. Changed his entire demeanor and made him even more dangerous.
@@andrewbaxter9516 😂 that's not what I got from the video.
My father use to say "If you had common sense boy you'd be dangerous" lol. Your comment reminded me of those moments
@@WeTheFaithful ha ha I love your comment lol.
Yea good that he learns from his errors! He is a great player.. hopefully will win a title some time! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!
Got humbled and learned from it
damian is my favorite player of all time. so humble, so underrated, such a genuine and nice man.
He is over-rated, and he will NEVER win a title as the #1 option on a team. Mark my words.
Who hurt you?
@@OnlyGoodSHHH what does that have to do with Dame being his favorite? 😂
@@OnlyGoodSHHH overrated? thats funny
@@jeremyexpiritu5668 probably one of those kids who got dropped on the head when younger 😂
Love how after a few days this video came out, he scored his career high 71.
DAME W ❗️❗️❗️🥲
Maybe dame have watched this and got inspired 😁
Of course on the rockets lmao
Cause it’s Dame dollar
@@Bnguyen276 doesn’t matter 71 is 71 if 71 was easy everyone would drop 70 on the rockets but they don’t do they.
How can you hate this guy? He has all the reasons to leave but he doesn't. Never complained about the team around him, so humbl and ultimately, very loyal.
You even love him the most when he's on your team;) woo
You pay me 50 million a year to play basketball I wouldnt complain either. Not sure what the big deal is about someone playing basketball making millions and not complaining. As Chris Rock said, its what youre supposed to do. He has had good players, CJ Mcollum and others. But Dame hasnt been good enough to beat the best.
@@gsp3428 He can earn asmuch in a better team
@@gsp3428 I think he meant him not leaving his team and going somewhere to win an easy ring.
@@kabohakevin4103 No he could only get that contract that he signed for 50 million from the blazers, he could still get a big contract but not as big from another team.
Imo his shot against okc is the most cold blooded shot of all time
Don't remind me.
The one against the my rockets was messed up too man
The rockets shot tho ...
it felt sooooo good. jus bein in portland gettn all blazery winning clutch with our guy Lillard..lol woo
The fact that it was a step back from that range too... Insane.
Stephs heave against OKC is probably up there too.
Look at dame man, so inspirational
bru he looks like flight
@@ftcstandup9086 you mean flight looks like him lol you gotta be like 12 bro
i hope dame dream comes true man he deserve one ring at least great man we can learn a lot for him
❤
To think Lillard and Giannis teaming up this season - two very loveable players; each the master of their craft; and probably the hardest working players in the league right now, in the same team.
If anything, Dame deserve to win a chip on the Blazers. Despite noises around the league that he should leave Portland and join a superteam, he's just too loyal to do so and told that even the Blazers traded him there wont be any hard feelings. He doesn't forget where he came from and grateful on where he is now.
What do u guys want players to do ? U join the league to make money and win rings that's the goal loyalty doesn't exist.
@@arishemghoul9571 thats just a dumb statement
@@freemoney9041 no it's the undeniable truth feel free to prove me wrong.
@@arishemghoul9571 dame.
@@arishemghoul9571 every other player in the league...not dame sir
So humble... Dame deserves love. Even if he doesn't win a chip, his loyalty and strong game should be celebrated.
That shot gave me chills
My man Dame deserves more credit. He's been living in Steph's shadow for all of his career, and he never had a team that could help him win anything. Yet still he is loyal and although he may retire ringless, he will be my all time favorite guy
He's good. He gets respect from the vets and old timers. He made the 75 team too. Everyone even Dame know he's 2nd best pg behind Steph this Era which is damn good since Steph borderline top 10 player. Only ppl with a problem with Dame don't know ish about hoop
@@db-hj9cu it's the younger generation that doesn't like Dame because he won't leave Portland to win a ring but someone who's part of the newer generation Dame has my respect
The way dame talks about his current team as well as his college (weber st) makes me like him even more. You can just tell he's humble af.
Thanks for giving dame his recognition, his story is so inviting. Praying God continues to bless him
And now he’s dropping 70. Dope dude
Dame is easily my favorite player. I've only seen him play in person once but I plan on going to more in the future.
By far the most underrated player in the NBA, love this dude
In an era dominated by prima donnas and Ball hogs, dame has been that guy. Hope he can get some support and win a ring before he retires. Nothing but respect for a cold blooded machine
True definition of dedication here. You put honest work and you get honest results
Look at dame man, so inspirational. Dame is a great player and a top point guard in the league.
Dame is quite literally part of the reason I love the blazers. I know --obviously-- but just the way he talks off the court and never falls short of a genuine answer in interviews is something that you really don't see in other stars. I can't imagine growing up watching someone like Paul George or Kyrie Irving who constantly leave and quite literally lie to the press about how they "plan to stay" on their teams when they end up leaving. Dame, on the other hand, never ends up in drama, and always has the right thing to say. Truly a selfless and honest, down-to-earth guy who strives only to be the best person he can be. I just don't know how you could dislike Dame (except when he is destroying your team, of course).
Whenever I feel like I'm being doubted or passed up, it's videos and stories like this that keep me going.
Love Dame's logyalty and cold blood finsining at the end of the game. Keep GOING!
I grew up 40 minutes south of Weber State and I went to the Weber state basketball summer camp from 8-15 and one year dame was my teams coach because the players were put in charge of the kids. Great guy I never knew how good he was until I was older
There's just one word that can define Lillard perfectly. Cold.
People don’t know the work these guys put in to be good man
I will always remember Dame killing the Lakers when he was a rookie and Kobe even said that boy serious. I knows he would be a great player from that game.
Dame is definitely underrated and for a while. He has been one of the top point guards in the league for years and the fact that he mainly carried Portland for his time there is insane.
Also: I love his smooth shot mechanics. I never noticed that he is a palm shooter, though, up until the All Star 3 point contest
Love dame man
no you don’t poser
Just scored a career high 71! Nothing but respect to dame
Living in Portland I've been lucky enough to see all his greatness. Dude is a beast. 1st team all NBA this year
a lot of clueless people tend to discredit the greatness of a player just because they never won championship..
dame and chuck are in that conversation..
ive always admired his play...
Here after he dropped 71, man's a legend
Dame went to a college that I am only 10 miles away from. My mom told me stories of Dame. He sounded amazing. Dame is my favorite player to not win a ring currently in the NBA
The man just dropped 71 POINTS! What a legend
Devon Booker dropped 70 .Mitchell dropped seventy 73. They legends to
@@juliansearcie1758oh course, they are as well
@@juliansearcie1758 damn dame is in a league of his own tho bro,next level shit S tier player
@@nghakakhalthang8062I hope he get a ring some day man. He deserves it
@@juliansearcie1758 d mitchell got 71 not 73
i hope dame wins one in portland so bad. Would be the most memorable title since dirk. He seems like one of the few w the old head mentality. cool to see his backstory too. good vid :)
Dame would have been awesome in any era of basketball, man.
Whos here after he scored 71 ?
One of the most inspirational players ever
Dame is the truth......period. 🧊🤷🏽♂️💯
And then drops 71 pts and 13 threes in a game 🔥 Dame Dolla is cold
It’s not a lot of nba players who said “I’m done ima go team up with a superstar somewhere else. And dame is one of them. He legit
here after he dropped 71 points
He is my favourite current player. He's so cool. Idk how you can't like him. My brother is an OKC fan and always loved Russ, but Dame is one of his favourite players as well and we both consider him the best PG in the league.
I have massive Respect for this guy, he really is one of my Favorite players ever. And he not switching teams is another level of awesome. Hall of Famer for sure :)
Drops 71 points days after this
i always loved lillard's game but im such a super fan he is a good person.
Dame is how a player on the NBA should be ! Favorite of all time ! ( along with Drexler)
This proves that you can make it even if you aren't the best now. It takes 10000s of hours then it comes all at once, keep pushing.
dame deserves to win a ring before he retires.
after he signed the 4 year extension of his contract, i loved him more
what a beast dame is in my top 5 favorite pgs to watch growing up
..."chasing rings somewhere else was never an option."
Mr Lillard is true professional, and epitome of teammate. No brands, or gimmicks.
watching this after he dropped 71 points on 80% true shooting with 13 threes
I remember seeing the game as a kid. I liked lillard before but at this moment I became a fan!
The funny thing is this came out before the 71 game
Man dropped a 70 bomb tonight 😭🔥
Great video. Your storytelling skills are amazing 👏
his control of his emotions after being embarrassed in HS shows he's the type of guy who learns from his mistakes. he deserves peoples respect
This whole year dame has been my fav player and I also have a jersey and I’m glad he’s good bc he’s my favorite player
what perfect timing😂
😂
Here after he just exploded for 71. This guy is ridiculous
Love Dame man. Will go down as one of the best ever, hopefully he can get a ring before he goes out.
I love how Dame makes failure and setbacks a part of his story. Blows a game in High School by taking his shirt off, turns himself into a stone faced assassin. Breaks his foot, turns himself into a monster. Gets swept by the Pels, turns himself into a pick and roll master by becoming Logo Lillard.
anyone else notice cj hit the bye bye after seeing dame do it, lmao i love them together bruhh
love the kays cooking shoutout. she may not make the best food but she’s so pure
“This is a comfortable range”🥶
Dame time boys.... 🔥🔥🔥
W channel, w video, I love no stop sports
This dude is so likeable. Not willing to sell his soul to win a championship. Major respect.
Damian JUST SCORED 71 POINTS!!! TAKE THAT ROCKETS
2012 is a BEAST year for NBA players too! The man is just a great person all around. He saves his money and he makes a TON of money off of shoe deals alone. Hes tied with Kobe 2nd on the list of players who have scored 60 or more points a statistic that not many players make.
71last night 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love Dame, def my fav player in the league
returning here after the 71 point game
One of my favourite players ever and top 3 point guards.
hes a great guy and one of the greatest poing guards ever
Dame is a top 3 and maybe best clutch player of all time
Facts
Top 3 all time is insane. He’s not even a top 3 pg all time, and maybe not even a top 3 pg in the league rn. He’ll maybe end up top 50 all time, especially if he ain’t gettin rings. Dude has 1 first team all-nba selection, and even then it’s only cause Curry missed almost half the season.
@@flyingblasian1352clutch not top 3 all time. He’s pretty clutch
@flyingblasian1352 read brother. He said clutch.
What about Michael Jordan?
dame very sympathetic. Beautiful video. I hope he wins a championship.
He was already my favorite NBA player, watching this took it to a whole new level with all that he is as a player and a person.
It’s crazy how people still try to hate on him
