Examining Damian Lillard’s Signature Shot

Remember signature shots and moves? The Dream-Shake. The Sky-Hook. The Allen Iverson or the Tim Hardaway crossover. Moves so good and so pure, they were feared around the league- and for good reason. While they haven’t disappeared, they’ve been pushed to the periphery in favor of the all-around game. That isn’t to say that players don’t have go-to moves, quite the contrary in fact- player profiles exist based on go-to moves and spots on the floor. Entire offenses are built on players’ abilities to get to those spots and score in efficient manners- they just don’t seem to have the same attention drawn to them anymore.
