Damian Lillard’s buzzer-beater against the Oklahoma City Thunder will be one of the biggest moments (if not the biggest) remembered from this year’s NBA Playoffs. As Nick Greene of Slate writes, the shot cemented Lillard as the “coolest” player in the NBA:
I am not an arbiter of coolness. I drive a Subaru and have a pair of “gardening shoes,” for Pete’s sake. I say things like “Pete’s sake,” for Pete’s sake, but it’s obvious even to me that Damian Lillard is the coolest player in the NBA.
