All right, let's start the podcast by saying this, and this is a message for all the NBA haters out there, people who are saying that the NBA product isn't good, people are saying that it's lame that the NFL is still king, YadA, YadA, YadA. In the last three days, folks, we've had one of the greatest regular season performances of all time, with Damian Lillard going off for seventy one points.
You've got one of the largest comebacks in NBA history, the Lakers claw back against Luca and the MAVs after being down twenty seven points. And then you add, my opinion, the best game of them all, the second highest scoring game of all time would have been possibly the highest scoring game of all time if their legs didn't give out in the second overtime when the Kings beat the Clippers won seventy six till one seventy five in double ot which is, in my opinion, the greatest regular season
game I've ever seen in my life. That we was that good. All of that happened in seventy two hours. So let's start out in my hometown Portland, Oregon, because, folks, we've got to talk about something that's not being discussed. People are talking about Dame. They are Dame Lamont Lillard. But in my view, I do not think they are talking about Dame in the right context. We know Dame is special, We know that Dame time seems to be
all four quarters now. But what if I told you that Dame is actually closer to a unicorn, to a mythical figure that we only know in history and in the record books and just by his name alone. What if I told you Dame Lollard is actually closer to Wilt Chamberlain, then we think we are seeing something right now we have not seen since the nineteen sixties, since the age of Wilt Chamberlain, when he was putting up
fifty with ease. Wilt has always been, and I think always will be, some sort of creature that we are not sure is of this planet. We are not sure if any NBA player will ever do anything close to what he has done. He has the most fifty point games in NBA history, the highest point scored in NBA history. The list goes on and on. Right, he was too big for the era, you know, six eleven with a fifty inch vertical right, and Dame right now is putting
himself in Wilt territory in the Wilt stratosphere. The level of sustained excellence we are seeing from Dame is absolutely unparalleled. He's averaging in his last ten games, Dames forty three
points per game, forty three in his last ten. In his last twenty, he's averaging almost forty thirty nine point four points per game, seven and a half assists and five and a half rebounds, and to steal a game and less than three turnovers per game, which when you think about his usage rate, which is pretty much only it's like you could just say only usage only Dame on the Blazers. Uh for only three turnovers, folks, that's absurd.
Since he came back from injury, which is even longer than twenty games, he's averaging just under thirty five points per game. So the level of dominance and excellence and scoring and unstoppability and infallibility and like lightning, thunder, crash boom, just things you don't even have words for, is absurd. And if you want to hear something crazy, will only
average thirty nine points in his career twice season. Only one of these players is six' eleven with a fifty inch, vertical and the other is just a shade over six to one In Damon lollard with not a fifty inch. Vertical for an undersized guard to be doing What dame is doing right now is. Crazy he's. Absurd and it's not just because he's My Portland trailbazers, guard the Greatest blazer in. History but if he continues to do this for the rest of the, season the word's gonna get.
Around just, remember, FOLKS tk said at, First, wilt we will not have seen a back half of a season like this since well for. Sure let's break Down sunday. Night seventy one points for our Guy, dame a career high seventy, one twenty two for thirty eight from the, field fifty eight, percent fifty nine percent from, three six rebound six. Sisters he was so. Good how good Was?
Dame he was so good that he comes off the floor and is feeling the highest of the, highs and THE nba, says we think you're in the highest of the highs. Too we're gonna blood test your ass FOR hgh or super serum or, something because this is not fucking. Normal he had a urine test FOR hgh the day before and pasted it and they're, Like, Noah, noah, no we're gonna need to have some of that blood in.
Us we're gonna need to test this. Again you could have some horse pee in there that you're hiding underneath your thigh bone and like just using. It, No like they're Like Adam siler's, like, LISTEN i Think Dave Dame lillard has taking that super, serum that Super soldier. Serum he's stopping hydra bombs by day and is bombing from the logo by. Night that's What dame is on right, now Some Marvel universe type shit like this guy is
in THE. Mcu we gotta make, sure uh that we get some of that blood to figure out what's going. On this is what he said direct after the game.
Day we're, alma thank. You we're starting off this interview with a.
Splash literally an absolutely legendary.
Performance career high seventy one, points thirteen to three.
Pointers can you.
Try to, describe but we just witnessed from you. TONIGHT i, mean we GOT i think twenty three twenty two games left after, this and we need to win as many as, possible and you, know obviously being short, HANDED i know that it's gonna be a team, effort BUT i feel LIKE i, gotta you, know do my best to be aggressive and just try to do WHAT i can to make sure that we get some. Wins and you know that's all the case was last. TONIGHT i wanted to be in attack. MODE i got it going AND i just stayed.
Aggressive, YEAH i, mean this team's not. Good we Need dame time all the. Time it's basically. Right if you haven't seen the, Video dame is just mobbed by his. Team they're just pouring everything on, them probably some sort of neutralizer for the super sierrum he's been taking to Prevent Adam silver from finding out with the blood. Test nobody was more excited For dame than the rest of the, team, Right and the reason why is the first words out of his mouth was, like, listen this team has to.
Win we only got twenty something games left in the. Season we are in squarely and play in tournament. Zone we are outside the play in tournament and so Thus i've got to carry the. Load and we should have probably seen it coming this, performance BECAUSE i don't know if you saw it happen during the. Weekend it got went.
VIRAL a little bit is That Dame luller joined Andre iguodala And Evan, turner who's maybe got the worst voice IN nba, history joined them on their, podcast and this is what he had to say about the, critics the people who are basically sleeping On dame no matter what he, does.
They never they'll never give me credit for What i've actually done UNLESS i just come out here and win the championship In, portland and they better HOPE i don't. Have they better pray THAT i don't win the championship for The. Blazers and that's very. True don't pray because the same way you, like they don't know that.
Side, yeah, no that's that's big. Facts and following that, Game lillard now has more sixty point, games which is Five he has five in his, career or more Then Steph, Curry Lebron, James shaquille, O'Neill Larry, Bird Magic, Johnson Tim, Duncan Bill, russell And Kevin durants. Combined dame has more sixty point games than those legends. Combined of, course we Know will has thirty two games where he scored sixty or, more which sort of drives home my earlier, Point Like
dame is on in another level right. Now he is the oldest sixty point scorer IN nba history at thirty. Two AND i guess the nice thing About dame getting injured for three or four years where he had an abdominal injury he didn't tell anybody about that was keeping him from doing all activities pain. Free he said that he's fully healthy now he feels like he's twenty six. Again SO i feel LIKE i turned back the tape a little. Bit twenty six year Old dame in the,
body thirty two year old mind Of. Dame that is trouble for the rest of the. League AND i said it, earlier maybe a few episodes, ago And i'll say it. AGAIN i don't care if The blazers win. GAMES i do not. Care this Is Dame lillard on the, Map this Is Dame lillard in rarefied. Air blazers are gonna win games If dame keeps doing, this don't you worry about. It dame keeps scoring seventy, Sixty dude is on fire forty three point two points per game in his last.
Ten LIKE i said this is. Ridiculous he should be in THE mvp. Category if The blazers were doing anything but sitting there at the bottom of the, standings he would be top, five top THREE. Mvp, again these Are wilt, numbers, folks and not SOMETHING i THOUGHT i would ever. SAY i never THOUGHT i would Put dame And wilt in the same, Sentence but here we. Are we have twenty games left for The. Blazers dame is now can't MISS.
TV i don't care if you're on The East, COAST i don't care if you're IN BALI i think you need to just set your fucking alarm clock Because dame time is now all the. Time and as a Lifelong blazer, fan that's all that we can hope, for is being relevant and exciting and something That NATIONAL tv wants to discuss on a daily. Basis
