Dame scoring more than Houston starting 5 combined is crazy😂😂😂
You know they are the worst team in the NBA right?
@@roycedot funny how no one else scored 71 on them this season tho 🤡
He had 54 more points than the games second leading scorer!
Dame did what you do to your little cousin the first time he jumps on the sticks 🤣
@@roycedot and ??
🫡 JJ
Great interview dame 🙏🏽
Dame is incredible
and I feel like JJ brings up stats that we won't get to hear anywhere else
like I'd never heard anyone bring up the number of feet of the shots in a game, and that Dame just set the record
Yeah that's something I never thought about but its definitely interesting. I'm sure Steph and Harden besides Dame locked up a ton of those top 20 most feet spots beneath the record he has now.
No question...his unorthodox stat reveals are unmatched lol.
1:32 thats a stat that warps the mind. WOW. Baring 2 of the 5 are 60 even... 60 is 60!!! and more than all them combined!! WHOLLY!! 60, 60, 61, 61, 71. And 2:40 puts into perspective how great his shooting is. His career 37.3% 3pt shooting % isnt insane but he basically averages 37% from 30 FEET!! His range is incredible.
@@Habeev07 no defence
I don't know how useful that it is but you can't deny it's a very interesting and creative stat
Dame is that guy, Dame has always been that guy.
Dame has always been a walking bucket. He’s always had that killer instinct similar to kobe. He is lethal scorer, and he’s just so confident in what he can do, his game is so prolific and smooth, he’s superstar. Im no Portland fan but im rooting for dame to win a championship. Dame and rose will always be my two favorite players.
Yeah, no one should say he’s not clutch. That Nuggets series alone…
Top 5 Scoring Point Gaurds Of All Time
1. Damian Lillard
2. Jerry West
3. Luka Donic
4. Oscar Robertson
5. Steph Curry
Killer instinct like Kobe, he’s better than Kobe
@@dankenkit😂😂😂 kids these days man
@@spaceghostp6672 I’m serious, and I grew up watching Jordan
Damian is a prolific NBA player.
I want to see him lead a team to a trophy. BIG TIME!
He won’t on the blazers
It will never happen. He’s a volume shooter who plays no defense at all.
@@kevinc8955 Look at Steph you don’t need elite defense to lead a team to a championship. I don’t think he’ll ever win on the blazers, but with his scoring he could content on a better roster.
@@tobymoses2689 no defense at all is different from elite
true that level of offensive pressure can beat defenses for a few "wins" in a 7 game series. Look at when jimmy butler had his insane game in the bubble. Hes comitted to POR unless he winds up elswhere the way earl the pearl was able to win with NYK. Is essentially how i see dames career. With nothing but the utmost respect. To think monroe asked for LA/CHI/PHI to be his trade destinations he could have played with WEST...or possibly west+wilt. Ball lore is as rich as the game. Since LA and NYK wound up facing each other in finals. I wish dame his own fate and a rich career rings i dont think will be necessary to define how much of a deadly threat and all out bad man he is on the court. Hell attack anyone anytime any place on offense...he puts fear into defenses at his size its something worth watching every night.
The fact they told JJ take side step 3’s even if you miss it’s better then taking a mid range is hilarious and why the game is what it is. When the playoffs start the mid range guys tend to be the go to guys and or who can constantly get at the rim and are a threat at all 3 levels
i feel like people who can score at the mid range and 3 are more polished scorers bc you have to take them seriously at all 3 levels
Mid range is definitely useful but if you can get to the three point line with a reasonable step back/ side-step it’s probably worth it
Y’all are right, and fore that reason the suns are going to be a very tough matchup come playoff time
I don’t agree. The best three point shooting team has won 4 chips in the past 7 years. Also DeRozan is cheeks in the yoffs. And he’s THE midrange guy.
@@GlockLee yea but he doesn’t score on three levels
It’s a crying shame that Jokic and Dame aren’t on the same team. Those guys would be incredible together with a strong defensive squad around them.
That would be demonic
Crazy you said this. I was literally thinking about that yesterday when I watched the highlights of Dame’s performance. Jokic is exactly what he’s missing. It’d be insane
Joker’s already got Murray. When healthy they made it to the conf finals.
@@NT-or9wh dame + joker = finals
@@mitchellfrench2510dame time + joker = chip city
People have to be respect dame as one of the best shooters of all time too! He gets over looked when he’s doing what Steph does shooting half court shots and everything
Dude I respect JJ so damn much. The rest of the NBA world is giving less than half of the attention Mitchell got, and everyone that does bring it up just Blames the Rockets or Brings up excuses, or just talks about how he should leave Portland. JJ just talks about how great he is
Mitchell barely got any attention for his because it was unfortunately on the same night that Hamlin had a heart attack on the field
@@jaredstergar9939 and Mitchell did it in OT. Dame did it in regulation AND in less minutes....and with less free throws!!!
Wilt having 32 career 60-point games is actually insane
Not when you see that old footage
The GOAT
It says alot about that era lol
@@TheDundeal I’m even more impressed when I see the footage 😂💯
@@changez3336 nah says how good he was lol
Way to give Damian Lillard his props way cool guys!!! it’s been so much fun to watch him. I only wish I had been there at that game.
Frl
Dame is trash
@@Leroyscaand come on man he’s not trash that’s just rude
The most important fact that isn't getting enough attention: THE FEWEST MINUTES PLAYED to get to 70 points. That means that while he was on the court, he was having the best scoring game in NBA history regardless of final total.
Bingo
always love JJ's stats. actually makes comparing players make sense instead of just screaming that you're right.
Imma a blazer fan and the fact they still haven’t built a contender around him is criminal!
Shoulda gotten rid of nurk after the WCF L against the warriors. Needed an Ayton/Turner/Giannis pickup and their current defense squad to go next level
I think another superstar will come to Portland to play with Dame cuz they know he ain't leaving.
@@user-ze7tl2dw4i yeah I have no idea why they've never upgraded or tried to. Dude is the most mid starting center in the NBA
I love Dame but I have come to the point that it's too late 😕
@@ykthunderous2361 how is it too late? he just dropped 71 lol still in his prime
Dame was knocking down them shots iso w/ taller defenders off the dribble. Even with the screens the switch defender still managed to contest. He made all 14 of his FTs and only had 2 TOs which is insane considering how much Dame had the ball w/ the Rockets focused on him.
71 in 39 minutes is insane
W/ 14 free throw attempts.
@@haffy03 Its actually insane that he ONLY had 13 free throws when he scored 71. He had 57 actual points. The last 3 70 point games in history were Spida: 25 free throws, Devin Booker: 26 free throws, Kobe: 20 free throws.
Dame the most under appreciated player in the NBA.
Funny people talk about Dames 71 was against Houston when Kobe’s 81 game was against a 22-57 Raptors 😭😭 Keep the same energy
True, but the Raptors weren't actively trying to tank the way the Rockets are now. Huston is in a race to the bottom with the spurs. Toronto was actually trying to win that game. Kobe had to bring the Lakers back from like a 15 point deficit by himself.
Jalen Rose doesn’t wanna hear any of that 😂
And where tf did u go rodney? You got swept by golden state 3 consecutive seasons and then disappeared 😢
People were discrediting Kobe's 81 a bunch back in the day lol
@@hkarmy96 Yeah haters gonna hate.
The crazy part was not just the point total but the degree of difficulty of most of the shots.
Yeah I'm not sure how many players could hit the shots Dame did last night. The list is very very slim. Even his drives to the rim were impressive and difficult. He deserved multiple And 1's but instead the refs ignored the contact and hit Dame w/ a tech foul. That's where the refs f'd up. The officials just pissed Dame off and ignited the 🔥
And the efficiency he hits them with. It’s insane.
Dame Dollaaaa. Glad this man won the 3 Point Shootout too. Always loved his game, and just appreciate his talents. Have for many yearss. I always liked how humble he was. Especially when he sent home Westbrook and Paul George who have a more cocky playstyle, and were super cocky in that series alone. That was one of my most favorite events of the modern era, when all he had to do was wave goodbye when he drain that shot on them from deep. 😂Glad to see him get more recognition. 😎 And amazing to see himself secure some legendary status with this 71 point game, in great fashion, record time. Amazing stuff playa 😎
Love the show! Somebody will score 100 for sure IMO
u da 🐐
Professor who do you think it'll be? Give us a quick prediction
Professor man the tips you gave dame helped him 🔥🔥
It will have to be SPECIAL circumstance.
ie. Close game all 4 quarters
Probably will be a OT, 2OT, or 3OT for someone to do it.
I vould see Strph or Klay making 15-20 3 's then another 15 FT's and 7 to 9 layups/floaters
And who knows, it just might be Dame.
Dame is a top 5 shooter of all time idc
The fact only 2 other Blazers had double digits and it was like 13 and 11 is wild. And they won
He had 54 more points than the games second leading scorer
they were absolutely feeding him the ball though, you don't get to 71 without your teammates giving up some of their shots.
@@yung_sirloin then you didn't watch the game lol almost every single shot was created off the dribble, by himself. And he made the right play when swarmed
Idc if dame never wins a ring. Dude is humble and loves Portland, he isn't some diva requesting trades all the time or bitching about teammates
POR is ready to give the legend a statue already. I know I am. Just not sure if it will be his buzzer beater to beat HOU or OKC though. Both shots were 🤌 I just hope it's got him side stepping getting ready to shoot bc he's mastered that difficult shot and it's become his trademark from the elbow of the perimeter.
@Hafdaddy I could see it being a statue of him waving bye bye to okc lol
That JB love at the end ❤😂
5-6 from 30+ feet! That's nuts!
Dame hasn't has a legit supporting cast his entire career. And it's a shame because he's such an amazing player. A walking bucket. Clutch and fun to watch.
JJ, loving the content... wish I had found your channel earlier. Keep doing what you're doing...
Always liked Dame. Man puts up video game numbers in real life, and makes it look easy! Respect
The fact his TS% is higher than Wilt's at 70+ pts is NUTS
One of the best ball players of all time and rapper, dude is on another plane most people cannot even comprehend.
So underrated. What could his career look like if he had a better supporting cast?
You're going to see more 70 pt games like this because of how offenses are now
Or just keep playing the Rockets
@@AphasicMute lol
Omg, there’s always somebody diminishing the accomplishments of somebody….Dillard was just hot last night and aggressive. He was looking to prove a point I’m sure after people poked him for his comments in his recent interview
U mean bad defenses
Any scoring record from this season deserves an asterisk due to inflation, just like records on steroids in baseball.
He's been special since his first seasons. I hope he makes it 20 seasons, he still has time to do more *great* things, regardless. He will.
He scored 71 against scrubs....
@@AK-qo6tx if they were scrubs, they wouldn't be in the NBA
420' of shots, Blazer it
Damian Lillard's 71 POINTS Showed Us What We Should ALREADY Know About Him
th-cam.com/video/xsHgqWucif0/w-d-xo.html
Dame is the 2nd greatest shooter of all time
Idk about that…I would say he’s definitely the second best 3 point shooter off the dribble behind Steph. Just not sure I’d take him over Klay or Ray at this point
@@bbcpfghs def taking him over play bra he takes and makes way harder threes than klay. Plus has way more range
why do we have to rank everything
@@user-yt5ot9ex9n life is full of rankings
Thanks for covering Dame’s night.He’s not getting as much love as I was hoping.
Could listen to JJ talk hoops all day long thanks for giving Dame his flowers
I think Dame said he started working extending his range back when he was in college which was a long time ago. I am sure some players today want to shoot like that but it takes time to develop that range.
Plz remember that when he played his college ball in Utah, at Weber State College HE LED THE NATION IN SCORING HIS LAST SEASON PLAYED IN COLLEGE. Dame has always been the MAN!!!
Weber state 🙌🏻
He was second in the nation in scoring actually.
@@vietnam1978 he used ALL CAPS so you must be wrong
Its crazy how he wasnt highly recruited in college
@@demetriusmiddleton1246 lol yup
I'll smoke to those 420 feet of greatness
Can't smoke anymore (COPD) but I'll get out the edibles, from my friendly Oregon Dispensary.
JJ's comment put something I saw in last night's Clippers' game into perspective. I think it was Mann who got left WIDE open for a midrange shot. This dude paused then dribbled out for a corner 3 and bricked it. It was wild to witness.
Dame is the single light in the darkness that keeps me going in these awful times
Great JB love at the end there!
71 is incredible
Lillard is a assassin the likes of only Kobe could match in terms of taking over a game in spectacular fashion. He is the closest to mamba mentality I have ever seen since kobe
"That boy’s serious. And he’s not afraid of anything" - Kobe on Dame in his rookie year
Dame went CRAZY
Dame should be in the MVP talks.
that game vs the nuggets was insane
JJ's comment about Dame being kinda hidden behind Steph is sooo important.
This comment is literally why people today say MJ had no competition.
The man was SO GOOD that nobody remembers all the other crazy good shooting guards/small forwards that played in his era .
Bingo. If jordan didn't exist...Drexler would have been considered the best sg ever, before kobe.
There was sure a lack of pure depth though there was no Curry Lillard Klay Kyrie Luka CP3 Booker Harden back then. Not taking anything away from Jordan
Dame deserves a Championship...
One day when Dame's career is over, and it's very possible that he will end up with no championship, we will regret that we took his greatness for granted just because we were distracted with other great players that played at the same time.
He will have nothing to be ashamed of still a first ballot hall of famer
Where did Tommy get his hoodie? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
JJ is the best. Game respects game
I feel like in the next two or three weeks he's bound to do something even more incredible, not sure what yet, but I feel like it's brewing.
a fully healthy Dame is terrifying
I wish you would make a video about how Klay is having the best month and a half or two months of his entire career. He's also been shooting a lot of threes lately!
JJ rockin that stone island let’s go
Can we also talk about the conditioning of Buddy Hield and the Kings catching a W after a double OT 176 pt win? Thats a marvel on its own that I feel needs to be noticed
Buddys not on the kings
Wow. Great stats Great Player. Great Vid
10:25 the comment about casual Steph fans is so true 🤣🤣
was waiting on this from 🇵🇷
Dame #1 scoring guard ever!!!
81 is hard enough. It's been 17 years, 10 of them with tons of threes.
Dame😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
That last minute should be directed to most of these comments
Wow. The most pts since tha new year. By about 200. That's insane
I still want JJ back in the league
I hate that everytime a guy has a HUGE scoring performance like this now,people downplay it because of a lack of defensive effort. Well,at what point are we allowed to be impressed? 80 points,90?
When the team isn’t 13th in the conference, isn’t playing the worst team in the NBA in years, isn’t 5-5 in the last 10 games, and didn’t miss the playoffs last season.
They doubled him in the 2nd half too
@@roycedot ok bro
When Kobe scored 81, nobody mentions that he played a terrible raptors team and that the defense in that game was no better than the Rockets
Ignore those nerds
Nice to see JJ getting the badge in
As someone who has been watching the basketball for less than a year... i have become numb to the amount of scoring happening in the league. I really have nothing to compare it to except some stats ive seen on twitter. A player drops 40 and another drops 50. then somebody breaks a record for triple doubles. The real question is whether this is the new "normal" or is it just a trend in the current way the game is played. Ive fallen in love with the game of basketball over the last year, cant wait for more!!
Brandon Roy quickly flashed in my head when i saw this thumbnail
JJ is my favorite analyst by far. Dude plays chess with developmentally delayed puppies
Yo JJ. Keep up the expert level analysis! We LOVE you, because you're a legit part of Basketball Culture. You are accepted, loved and respected by the "Black Community"! And will be the best analyst for many years to come 🏀💪🏾🔥💯
That ending tho
man, Dame doing this at 32. he's having the best season of his career on PPG and FG%. top 5 PPG in the league. any other season, he would have had an MVP case for himself.
He was very efficient too.
Damn JJ going full on analytics now. He should be the Blazers coach - "OK team, get the ball to Dame, Dame jack up a 3. Each time. Move. Do it!"
I feel like the long rest NBA players are having between games relative to the past is what's also contributing to these insane shooting. Even the players will say that when they're rested they shoot better. It skews the stats more in modern day favor
It's literally been like that for over a century in all 4 major US sports.....people just don't care about history and like to push narratives/parrot what they hear...ie you
Starting pitchers used to pitch complete games...extra innings if necessary 60+ times a season...then sports scientists learned that, that is detrimental to your long term health/team success....yet you'd hear the same arguments yall are making g now.
Players and/or coaches/gms didn't start load management....sport scientists did.
@@dustincrawford3321they had the longest all star break in history. That's a fact. It helps to be fully rested for a game. Look how much the clips scored right after the break. It's dude lol
@@MindfulAttraction2.0 so you just repeated the same thing?
We are in agreement that more rest makes you perform better. That's why every single sport had tended that way, including boxing, track and field ect.
The part we don't agree on, is that it "skews the stats more in modern day favor"
@@dustincrawford3321 yes because if players today had more rest in between games, their shooting stats look more efficient cus players back then had to play triple headers on coach flights. You don't think over a sample size of a few decades it doesnr skew the states against them?
@@MindfulAttraction2.0 I'm saying it doesn't even remotely matter, because their are dozens of other factors that render comparing eras completely pointless.
In the early days of the BAA, you had no shot clock, no jump shots, no charges, no switching hands while driving, no 8 sec violation, 8 teams, 6 of which won't exist 25 years later, 60 gm season and 2 playoff rounds, and pay checks that requiredoff season jobs....oh and no non-white, or foreign born players.
In the 70s you had half the league playing in the ABA and starters playing 45 min a game. Pace of play has gone up, then down then back up.
They didn't have a 3 until 1979/80. they didn't keep track of blocks, steels, turnovers, or game started until 74.
And so in, and so on, and so on.
We are just in the current era, that's it
It would be so beautiful seeing dame win a chip
And if he did it in RipCity.....we just have to figure out how to get some All-stars to help him....like a Carmelo Anthony
@@jasonhughes1463yeah it would be insane even a SGA bridges etc would be nice for him but he needs a superstar next to him
JJ keeps it real
Not only is his 3s unreal, these are some deep, deep 3s. He's not called Logo Lilliard for nothing.
Any time JJ wear the stone island hoodie its a good day.
If we bring realistic Steph and Dame are the best scoring PGs in nba history.
Old heads be like: ”There’s no defence in todays era”. How tf do you even defend someone like Dame as soon as he crosses the halfway line, he could literally pull up from anywhere 🤣 The level of todays players is insane 🔥
Legit Tatum shooting from the logo also lol it’s insane
Don’t even listen to the old heads. They didn’t even start guarding from the FT line.
There are 38 players shooting 40% or more with 65 or more 3 pointers made this season (if you played every game, it's about 1 3 made per game)
so about 1 player per team on average is shooting 40% or better
Boston has Brogdan (#1), Horford (#7) Hauser (#13), and Grant Williams (#24) shooting above 40% and Mike Muscala and Derrick shooting above 39%
There are 103 players shooting 35% or better with 65 or more 3 pointers made this season
so about 3.3 players per team
Hmm Thanks, interesting stat, as a bucks fan I don’t like it
Casual fans 4 the death of me love how he calls em out so much
JJ with stoney🔥
These guys talked about not wanting to compare generations and then went straight to the well
Dame is like steph, but he will dunk on you lol
Nice Stone Island hoodie
30pt games are the new 20pt games 40pt games are the new 30 pt games and so on in terms of frequency and the ease of the gameplay over time
Portland has had quite a bit of injuries too
Agreed on Brunson, Jrue Holiday up there too. Been doing it all w a semi-healthy Giannis
I’d love to see dame playing with jokic, I feel like this duo would be amazing to watch
Steph, Kyrie and Dame are the top 3 greatest scoring point guards of all time. There nothing they can’t do offensively on the floor and they all doing it in different ways when you watch them.
I sometimes wonder how guys like Gilbert, Chauncey, Penny, Baron, Marbury and other great offensive PG’s that missed the “Curry Era” would do if they had the chance to. A few of them would of dominated this era in for sure.
I feel a lot of the PG’s in the last era’s had higher IQ, they knew how to control the game, most good were great defenders or even good at least. The ones in this era are way more athletic and talented.
Dame, Kyrie or Steph aren’t more athletically gifted than Baron, Marbury and Penny..they are better shooters tho
@@casiemny1219 I said the point guards of “today” since the “Rose Era”. We’ve had Rose, Russ, Wall, Ja, Fox. Etc. if we’re talking about All Time, most of these guys would be too 5 athletic PG’s ever.
Kyrie, Steph and Dame are anomaly’s as I previously stated in a different way. They would fit in any era, cause they are talented enough to adjust. Let alone their high IQ’s where they don’t need to depend on athleticism.
1:32 thats a stat that warps the mind. WOW. Baring 2 of the 5 are 60 even... 60 is 60!!! and more than all them combined!! WHOLLY!! 60, 60, 61, 61, 71. And 2:40 puts into perspective how great his shooting is. His career 37.3% 3pt shooting % isnt insane but he basically averages 37% from 30 FEET!! His range is incredible.
Whats crazy is to look at Kobe's stat line during his 81 point night vs Dam's..... so much of his points were mid range jumpers vs Dam tossing up 20 something three's.... yes he made 13 of em. Impressive regardless.
Steve keer sat curry and Thompson on multiple occasions where they could have hit 70s. There was a couple year stretch where Curry used to not play the 4th quarters
-- I think Bird had a near QUADRUPLE double in 1985 w/ 30 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, and 9 steals. He sat in the 4th quarter.
Curry always had a team around him they were blowing people out every night. Portland needed all 71 of those points for portland to win
Yeah but so has dame....he had a game vs sac in either 2017, or 18.... where he had 50 points in 29 minutes and sat the 4th.
He also had a game with 10 3s and sat the 4th
