Is Damian Lillard Playing at an All-NBA Level?

[@MarzTalksSports]

dame per 75 without giannis: 34.5 8.5 assists 68% ts 119 ortg Dame per 75 last year in portland: 32.3 7.4 64.5% ts 121 ortg now obviously smaller sample but eye test wise and numbers wise i think hes pretty close to his portland self. less explosive but better off ball and more engaged defensively,similar level of overall impact imo

[@chrishosey7535]

Agreed

[@dariusshuler9510]

Penn is so disingenuous. He’lol say that dame being less efficient in Portland doesn’t matter cuz his shots were more difficult but will shit on lamelo for efficiency when he’s taking the most difficult shots this year. HES A CLOWN

[@duffman1876]

Melo is not WINNING!!!! Stop bringing up em Charlotte House Flies 🍻🍺 let Melo make the Playoffs then we'll talk,Dame was in Playoffs series' before someone comes here and say Dame ain't win either.

[@mortar_12]

Lamelo be taking 30+ shots though

[@MikeLowrry]

Respectfully, pen just gives the worst takes on this show I’m sorry to say ‼️‼️

[@386_ollo_sports]

Worst that Dion and Jordan?????

[@LamlaNogantshi]

Dame is top 5 pg in the league rn. He is in the top 10 in scoring and top 10 in assists

[@LamlaNogantshi]

Dame is leaps and bounds better than Jalen Williams. What are we talking bout 🤦🏽

[@chrishosey7535]

Yes, obviously. He's averaging nearly 26/8/4 on 45/37/92 and 63%TS Are you serious right now? Dame hasn't even reached his mid season peak yet lol

[@davonanderson8052]

Wtf is a mid season peak ?

[@tafadzwamanzini5463]

no mention of defense obiously. he is behind shroder ffs

[@chrishosey7535]

@@davonanderson8052 Dame tends to play his best basketball towards the middle and later half of the season

[@chrishosey7535]

@@tafadzwamanzini5463 1) There was no mention because Dames defense isn't that bad 2) His defense doesn't impact the game nearly as much as his ELITE offense. 3) Offense is more valuable than defense, so an elite, offensive oriented player regardless of defensive impact is going to be an overwhelming positive regardless. This defense offense bs is getting old. It's literally the only argument anyone ever uses to diss Dame in any player convo. Which is weird since the 3 points I just named should be common knowledge. Dame is a top 8ish offensive player in the game right now. That insane amount of value trumps any of his defensive woes, which are completely overblown anyway.

[@tafadzwamanzini5463]

@chrishosey7535 I don't know wo about you, but making me you team score 2 and stopping 2 points is equal to me . 9th best on offense. 10th worst defense. If you are trying to convince me defense doesn't matter then I i will be wasting my time

[@MikeLowrry]

PEN SAID JALEN WILLIAMS 😂😂😂😂 tell me 1 thing jalen has done better than dame this year ?

[@jonathangordon448]

Defence…?

[@DKishim]

So if Dame is having an all nba season is Kyrie having one as well? I’m actually curious, is 24 ppg 5 ast 4 trb on 50 40 90 splits considered all nba because 1 lest point and 2 less assists on significantly better shooting splits, better defense, and a better record in a harder conference should be considered at least 3 team all NBA. 🤷 I personally think he’s been better than dame this season at least when it comes to helping his team win games

[@MarzTalksSports]

yes

[@malikwilson7387]

​@MarzTalksSportsI'm still not over Dame being on the 75th anniversary team over Kyrie Irving but Dame is Hooping

Both are playing at All NBA level. Kyrie has been criminally underrated

First Team: PG SGA, SG Derrick White (factually true, but you have to be flashy), SF Jimmy Butler (surprisingly), PF Giannis, C Jokic. Second Team: PG Curry, SG Donovan Mitchell, SF Brooks (surprisingly), PF Wagner, C Wembanyama. Third and Final Team: PG Luka, SG Booker, SF Andrew Wiggins, PF Tatum, C Sabonis. What I’ve noticed about American sports fans is that they have the information available but ignore it and just guess. Someone was saying Giannis’s defense was good this year, but how is it good if it’s the same as Jokic’s? You have all the data on how players perform against different levels of ability. Damian Lillard being on the floor means the opposing team will score two more points per 100 possessions, adjusted for the quality of players on both sides. Defense matters-unless you have overwhelming offense like Jokic. You don’t have to guess. Type in “EPM NBA,” go to “Dunks and Threes,” scroll to the bottom, and click the first link.

[@shiningwizard202]

You have Derrick White first team over Donovan Mitchell?? Tatum 3rd team??? Andrew Wiggins?? No Ant, no KAT, no Anthony Davis??? 😂😂😂😂😂 this is ATROCIOUS my man

@shiningwizard202 factually not just hype. This is based on performance only . Its not about empty ststs . Adjsuted for eho is on the floor on both sides .on offense how many points less do the celtics score without white +3.4 Mitchell +2.8 defense white +0.8 Mitchell +0.9 .
