Damian Lillard Clutch Buckets in Wild Ending vs Mavericks!
The NBA is back in business, sort of. The teams are playing for television audiences and from what I have seen, they seem to be playing just as well as they were when they had a live audience.
Damian Lillard has been playing for the Portland Trail Blazers since he got out of college eight years ago. He and CJ McCollum are the team's stars, McCollum joined the team the year after Lillard. They are dynamite.
A few days ago Damian scored 61 points in a game and then a couple of days later he did it again. This puts him in the company of Wilt Chamberlain, possibly the famousest basketball player of all time. I mean even I, the sports agnostic, have heard of Wilt the Stilt.
Anyway, during the final few seconds of the game against the Dallas Mavericks a couple of days ago, Damian made a three point shot. He makes a lot of those. Sometimes he misses but when he makes it, it usually goes right in. This one was unusual in that it took a big bounce straight up off of the rim and came down right through the center. A real heart stopper if you were watching. You can see it right at the 24 second mark in the video above.
The NBA has been infected with the BLM ridiculousness to the extent that the players all have slogans on the backs of their jerseys. Jusuf Nurkić's (pronounced Yusef Nurkich by me) jersey has Ravnopravnost printed on the back, which means Equality in Bosnian. Curiously, Google was unable to deliver a picture of Jusuf's jersey with this slogan.
