After being underrated for a long time, Damian Lillard has gained the respect of most fans over the last few seasons. He has an expectational ability to hit big shots when it matters the most. Additionally, Dame’s scoring ability is out of the world.

Whenever the Blazers are in a tough spot, he has been there for the team. Despite such qualities, Lillard has never won an NBA Championship. In fact, he is yet to play in the NBA finals in his career. Still, some regard him as the best point guard in the league, over the likes of Steph Curry.

Last year, the Blazers’ season was plagued by numerous injuries to their crucial players. They barely made the playoffs and had to face the fan-favorite LA Lakers in the opening round. As expected, the purple and gold easily defeated them in five games as Dame was out for half of the series due to an injury.

But this year, the story could be different for the Rip City. So far, they are off to an amazing start with a record of 18-10. If the team can stay fit for the remainder of the season, they might have a shot at making it all the way to the NBA finals.
