Damian Lillard could be one sleep away from claiming the Portland Trail Blazers’ all-time scoring record of 18,040 points record from Clyde Drexler.
But that isn’t the only all-time list Lillard is busy climbing. During last night’s win against the Houston Rockets, he passed Jamal Crawford for eighth most three-pointers made in NBA history. After the milestone, Lillard gave his verdict on the all-time long-range pecking order, putting his name second only to Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry.
Obviously I think Steph (Curry) is the greatest ever, but I think after him, I don’t see why I’m not clear-cut in that discussion, not just by makes, but how I shoot it, how I make tough ones all the time, how easy I shoot the ball.
