Damian Lillard. DAMIAN LILLARD. D-A-M-I-A-N L-I-L-L-A-R-D.
Holy shit.

Dame Lillard has hauled the Portland Trail Blazers past Oklahoma City with one of the most spectacular walk-off threes you’re ever likely to see, in this life or the next.
Lillard’s dropped a staggering 50 points in today’s fifth game of the Blazers/Thunder NBA Playoffs series, the first 47 of which only served to set the stage for himself.
Then the last three happened.
There’s really no point writing about it any further now. Just watch it. Watch this utterly ridiculous shit.

I mean… I mean…
Calm as a Hindu cow he put that up from the goddamned logo. He probably had a good ten feet or so between him and the ARC. Come on now.
The alternative angles and footage from the crowd? Just as bloody good.

In terms of temperature, that’s about as close to absolute zero as you could ever possibly get on a court.
Given how much trash talk the Thunder had been spitting in Dame’s direction, that series-ending buzzer beater was bound to come with a little extra spice. Sure enough, after staring single-handedly booting them out of the playoffs, Lillard waved OKC’s ass goodbye.

Incredible gear.
That ain’t even the first time Lillard’s dropped a game-ending three to clinch a playoff series for the Blazers, lest we forget this absolute barn-burner.

Un. Bloody. Real.
With Portland taking a 4-1 win in the series over the Thunder, they’re now set to face the winner of the Denver/San Antonio matchup in the second round.
If Lillard’s running this hot, you’d be silly to bet against him.
