Love Dame man. He's been loyal to the soil. Never cheated the game. Never asked for a trade. Wish he had a team to compete for a championship but he's special. An all out baller!!
Dame has 19k pts in 11 seasons. The dude is built different and elite. Many ppl complained about him being a Top 75 player of all time. When he's done and hangs up his uniform. His stats are gonna be unreal. He might not have a 💍 when all is said and done but he will have some 🤯 numbers.
@@vividsid94that’s not true, a bunch of sports channels made videos saying that him being in the top 75 was premature and other guys like Klay and Dwight Howard were way more deserving.
You talk like you live with him anyone can act remarkable bc the know they on camera not saying he's good or bad we just don't know bc we don't live with him we just see him on camera
He's not slept on by those who know basketball but the team he's on and him not winning a championship places a "dark cloud over his head" based on the media's standard. Those two things shouldn't take from his greatness. It's about Dame time!!!! Get it Dame! 💪
It's not just the rings though, he doesn't necessarily have the accolades either. He doesn't have any MVPs, he doesn't have any scoring titles and he hasn't even been in the discussions for MVP. He still has time to grab some of these, but they are also stains on his resume as well (not just the rings)
@@BlackMarq20the 2020 season he should’ve been in the MVP talks but ultimately they always give it to a guy on a top team. If the Blazers aren’t a top 2 seed in the West he has no shot. Which is crazy to me cause Luka name is in MVP talks as a 6 seed. Not taking anything away from him as he is amazing but it just shows the bias the media has against the Portland Trail Blazers. Dame is dang near averaging 40 for the month of February, take him off the Blazers and they are very pedestrian.
He's in good company with Chris Paul, John Stockton, and Steve Nash as top point guards without a title. You could throw in Gary Payton too, that Miami title past his prime counts but.....
Dame going down as one of those people you had to see to understand how good he actually was. Like Dominique Wilkins. He’s just spectacular. One of the best scoring guards I’ve EVER seen.
Media: Do you feel pressure in winning a ring? Dame: *"Pressure, nah. Fam, this is just playing ball. Pressure is the homeless man, who doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from. Pressure is the single mom, who is trying to scuffle and pay her rent. We get paid a lot of money to play a game. Don’t get me wrong - there are challenges. But to call it pressure is almost an insult to regular people."*
When are we going to realize that championships are a TEAM ACCOMPLISHMENT and it’s ultimately about playing as best as you possibly can on the highest stage that you can take your team, and Dame has done that. Ring culture is ruining NBA fan’s perception of what makes a great player.
💯 pundits like SAS created and promote ring culture daily. it’s unfortunate. Dude has to score 71 points to be talked about on ESPN over LeBron and the Lakers
At this point Dame has to put up big numbers like this to even get recognized by mainstream media. Then it goes to why he never wants to leave Portland.
Being *one* of the greatest guards to ever play doesn't mean much when there are like dozens and dozens of great guards to ever play the game. ESPN keeps parroting the same thing .
I am so happy to be a Blazers fan, I was born there. Not raised though. But I hold the blazers to my heart as my home team. I had to see Brandon Roy sadly depart away with injury but was blessed to get Lillard. My Cowboys and Reds are pathetic. But Dame need a ring, it’s a pleasure to watch him religiously.
All time ?? Nah bro he don’t really do much on defense! Kobe d wade MJ curry magic! I could go on but you get the point! He’s hardly top 10 in the modern era
That is why I love Stephen a.Because he gave Lillard love.But notice don't dare disrespect Curry's lagacy.Curry's greatness is underrated because he is a little guy.And the NBA genesis is to build a championship around a big man.But understand besides the great Isaiah Thomas,there is no other NBA champion where the team was built around a small man.Lillard is great.Curry changed the game.Period.

Stephen A touches on it a bit, but there's one main reason aside from Portland being a small market that Dame gets overlooked: Steph Curry exists. You wanna talk about range? Steph's got Dame's range and then some. Marksmanship? Please. "Sending people home?" Lillard is 0-10 in playoff games against Curry (1-12 against the Warriors overall).
The nickname "Logo Lillard" is there for a reason, but another one is Video Game Dame because on nights like last night, he plays like the game sliders on 2K are all on 99 and he just can't miss. Truly one of the NBA's all-time talents. Him winning a chip in Portland would be one of the great stories in the NBA.
Monica works on the Knicks MSG pre and post game show. She knows what she is talking about. When it comes to the current Knicks, team take her word over Stephen A's.
