Damian Lillard’s INCREDIBLE 71-PT Performance | February, 26, 2023 

Bruh without OT!!! That's crazy

Imagine if it went OT

@@justsomejusstsome8994 He would've probably score 100 points...

@@SubwaySam10 what don’t you get

Was that Wilt Chamberlain 100 was OT???

also jokic with avreging triple-double without statpadding lol

@@milandjukic4583 AND being crazy efficient too which is probably the single factor that separates him from other mvp candidates

Tatum most points in all star game although nobody cares lol

Embiid leading scorer for the 3rd year in a row and no one cares 😢

Curry also scoring 50 during the start of the season. Everyone is going crazy this season

Chris Paul

it's unfortunate but he is in the wild wild west... no chance of getting out without the team getting MAJOR upgrades

Same with Jokic. You need help to win otherwise everything else is pointless but still... impressive Same thing happened to Davis 9 years with Pelicans and got nowhere. Eventually left.

When his contract is up, unless Portland offers free pussy for life, the keys to the city plus 200+ mill, he will go somewhere else to win a chip.

Send dame Himmy Butler

It’s been mid to be honest

It’s crazy ever since dame 71 people have been discrediting Donovan for having more minutes and going into OT 71 points is impressive either way

So many people putting up absurd numbers and averages

No defense

​@@godusopp5815 nobody's discrediting spida😂

Yeah it's crazy how bad the defense has become.

Aint no "like like like", all that is Dames game, show him some respect.

@@sal166 all those other guys he mentioned are hall of famers, having ur 3s compared to curry’s or ur layup being compared to Kyries is a compliment, not the other way around

​@@socasosa6966he is also a future hall of famer. Im sure curry wouldnt like to be compared to kd and vice versa cuz they are individual players.

@@AamonCannon ur missing the point, we’re talking about certain parts of their game, curry is obviously most well know for the three ball, I’m sure he would be cool for someone to say “ur midrange game is looking like KDs” as kd is statistically one of the best from that are whereas steff isn’t. We’re not comparing the players, we’re comparing certain aspects of their games

@@socasosa6966 he’s just one of those people who have to say something lol

Your prayers were answered, Bucks take an L in the first round 😂

​@@SubwaySam10 Nothing wrong casual.

facts

@@SubwaySam10 I agree. He was a total ball hog playing against one of the worst teams in the league...who were also missing two of their best players.

Finally someone said that

just shooting a lot against the worst team in the NBA

On god😭😭

Never seen anything like it I’m a huge Dbook fan and I thought his was impressive for a young 20 year old kid to score 70 points in game but damn Dame had the best game since Kobe’s 81 in my opinion

Almost got Klay's record too

Haha you know the Rockets are tanking right? 😂

Incredible performace but its as if he is playing against first graders

Underrated?

I’m just praying for Milwaukee to have a rough playoff run and for Giannis to consider other options.. I know it’s very wishful thinking, But Dame and Giannis would be so lethal

He should go to lakers

@@thuggwaffle8825 That’s likely if he hasn’t won yet but he already won so it’s unlikely. He needs to go to the other team (bucks) not the other way around. Bucks FO is much competent than Blazers.

He’s wasting his prime on a bad team

Ghey won't

Mitchell put up 71 with 8 rebounds and 11 assists . that's more impressive.

dame did this against the ROCKETS . spida against. FRIKKING BULLS.

@@jbarshorts true, also needed overtime to get the points though, dame I believe had a way better efficiency tho, so it’s not cut and dry better when one guy has a good overall stat line and the other barely missed lol 😂

@@jbarshortsThe Bulls suck 😂

@@justingabriel1765 Loooool what are you talking about brother, Spida literally took fewer FGA, did it on one of the best perimeter defenders in Caruso, and did it in a 20+ comeback win where each point was needed. Dame did it against the AAU rockets who didn’t even have their 3 best players lmao. On top of that he statpadded at the end of the game when it was already over. Spida’s was absolutely more impressive. He has 11 assists and 8 rebs too.

FEAR THE DEER 🦌

I'm calling cap on this comment

​@@IVMON3Ywhy?

Better than Kobe's 81 points spoonfed ball scripted plays no blockers.

Be looking like a video game

Carrying the torch of Brandon Roy

@Arnie_is_numero_Uno Ur not lying! That pound dribble usually sets up the speed of whatever move hes about to do. Amazing isolation movement!

Sadly they haven't put a team around him. If he had worthy teammates, he would have won a championship by now.

tOp G

That's Curry

@@tyg_beatsonly bottom Gs say that lame joke

Cringe tate lover

3:57 love the Ludacris jam playing "MOVE BITC* GET OUT THE WAY"

Legit!! that was one of the best games i've seen

​@@chillmeister45 same

god

Lol it was outside of the bubble in 2021. Can never forget it

WIthout question.

Ya way underrated. He has never been in the talk for mvp even when they made it to the finals but doesn't surprise me because American politics are destroying everything

@@roadrunner0423 made it to the finals? wait, WCF, right?

@@badxgrass nah, it's a troll comment

@@CoffeeMonster01 ok dork

yes he is a deadly shooter when he is on! by the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

Booker better booker better booker better booker better

Love when lebron almost injured himself last year scoring trying to carry the lakers people claimed he was stat padding but dame legit stayed in when the game was over to Stat pad against a tanking rockets team absolutely shameless yall respect a loser with 0 rings over one of the all time greats

​@@sac1211 Preach

@@sac1211just appreciate the game bruh

@@sac1211 damn cant argue with this one

@@sac1211 there is nothing wrong with stat padding for 2 minutes for a historical performance, especially when you've been carrying the same franchise for 10 years straight. Let the man have his moment, not everything is about lebron.

True, but his final 0.04 second save to go to overtime was beautiful.

And cavs were down 20 points. And he brought them back to win the game. Mitchell’s was better if you wanna get technical

Yeah but to be fair Dame is going against the Rockets maybe the worst basketball team ever assembled. Especially the lineup they had tonight with no Jalen or KPJ.

Nah Mitchell's was better, portland were up alot for basically the whole game.

@@user-fq4oq9qv7b no offense but what the other team did or didn’t do score wise wouldn’t have mattered. Yeah Mitchel made a comeback but like Dame tonight it wouldn’t have mattered. They were both getting to 71 no matter what the other team did

It’s hard to imagine how they’ll ever win a championship sadly. His window is closing he can keep this up until 35-36 max. He’ll be 33 in July. Maybe someone will come in free agency but that’s a big maybe

Lol any guy in the nba could be a good defender if they were able to put all their effort into it. Dame is expected to be the offensive carry on the team, so he can’t play quite as hard on defense(even though watching tonight’s full game he had some great defensive plays). I mean just look at him as he’s sitting on the bench after the game, that man is exhausted by putting up this many points

Yo I saw him live and he would sprint back and plays exceptional defense. It's what saw when cooked them pacers.

He plays good D when he wants to

@@kingkyrie5140 yeh hes stilll in his prime he gotta get it done

In a single month

@@gioelecarparelli6193 nah Donovan Mitchell scored his points in January

@@escape8069 oh you're right

@@escape8069 @Giole Carparelli Right, everything's happening so fast and wild this year... I think he meant to say first time that a player scored 70+ pts and another player rag-dolled Dillon Brooks in a single month. (probably not the last though😅)

@@knucklevision Nope Spida rag-dolled brooks in February I should know I went to that game I’m from Cleveland

Behind who 😅

@@anotidaishemuirimi2288 at least curry

yes he is a deadly shooter when he is on! by the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

I agree with you with everything but the ray allen part

@@brandonlogan2600 Sorry but I ain't never seen Ray Allen nailing 30 footers off of slick dribble moves like that. believe me I saw Allen in boston and he was okay.

@Gintorino Have you seen Ray Allen in Seattle? Have you seen Ray Allen in Milwaukee? Have you seen Jesus Shuttleworth at UCONN? He's not nailing 30 footers because as a 90's shooter/player you could do that.... if you wanted to be glued to the bench and never stand on the hardwood again. Back in that Era if you pulled from 30 you're glued to the bench. Different game. If Ray Allen grew up in this Era of basketball. Prolly a different story, with Damian Lillard being a middle child type player he saw the old style of basketball growing up and evolved his game into what he has to play through today

@@gintorino4616 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m21gY3ixFM8.html

Reminds me of a smaller me - Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain

A new jersey now

He might get his chance this year

On god! when Dame starts pulling from deep u already know what time it is

I have been saying that since lakers signed westbrick instead of going all in for lillard. I respect his loyalty for the blazzers but truth to be told is that there is no shame in leaving a team that left you first, just like lebron did with cleveland the very first time. It is impressive that portland front office still has not made a team around this guy when he had proven time and time that he not only deserves it but also can make it all the way to the trophy if they do.

​@Robert Majid thank you that word is thrown around to much

​@Robert Majid Well for what he did. Ain't it a work?

@Robert Majid dafuq have you done in your life?

@Robert Majid this isn’t your dad not buying you the car you want. This is Dame Lillard who is an All star who is consistently incredible.

They would be unstoppable not just because of their individual talents but also they would play so well of each other dame stretches the floor while giannis shrinks it plus them pick n rolls and fast breaks would be godly

@@tonybandz1845 yup....

They’d be the modern day shaq & Kobe

Here from the future to tell you it's happening...

@@aidene.nguyen oh yes....

spot on, but Portland’s a small market team, go to a bigger franchise and they will fully support you

Kobe has rings dame doesn't so don't even try to compare their killer instinct 2 different players.

@@sac1211 Kobe also played with shaq who won all 3fmvp over him and it wasnt close, then he got pau gasol another all-star, then they got dwight howard for him another all-star, then he tried to get cp3 (but the league blocked it). Dame hasn't played with another all-star, mvp, dpoy, roty, coty , all-nba, nor all-defensive player in the last 8 seasons. When kobe actually had to play with a team like dame's he cried, requested a trade and said, "I'd rather play on pluto than play for the lakers". Killer instinct tho

@@sac1211 hes comparing their offensive instincts/clutch factor, not their style of play. I’m sure Kobe would even agree that Dame has the mamba mentality. Secondly, winning championships are based on team performance. So you can’t discredit a player comparison based on that alone.

Nah, he choked in 2019 against the Warriors with no KD. They lost 4-0 after leading EACH GAME at the beginning of the 4th. Dame was absolutely outplayed by steph statswise and clutchwise.

They’re not even over .500

@@oliverupload same as your sex life.

Because no one plays defense

Soft ass nba

@@tatertots0046 how do you even defend that?? he's shooting from the logo, and even then he had a hand right in front of his face that far back from the three point line

Tied for the best shooter 0f all time 🤡🤡

so a single game performance can take him to tie with steph? nah

He’s up there for sure. He’s closer to Klay than Steph though. Steph on another level. There’s Steph then Klay and Dame

Against the ROCKETS.

@Jayson Barbosa why has Noone else scored 71 against the Rockets then?🤔

@@jbarshorts they are still a NBA team lmao. He's been averaging 32.3 ppg this year so your comment is meaningless.
