That is the difference in today's game. Back then you knew what you was getting. Bird the shooter. Shaq the big man. Magic the passer. MJ and Kobe the fade away. A I the little guy with handles. Kids could go play basketball and pretend to be those guys. Now the MVP is some guy I can't pronounce his name and don't even know what he is about. He is a big man who can't shoot. What kid can pretend to be him or even spell or say his name correctly? Curry is basically the only one kids can relate to so now everyone even the bigs play like him. With LeBron everyone loves if he is plays in your city but other than that he is looked at as villain because he cries so much and took the easy way out writing his own script making super teams and claiming to be better than MJ.

The problem with that is no big name stars want to go to Portland

[@chandleryen7315]

@@baller78239 I'm gonna rule out Kawhi and PG going to Portland, but I can see something like a sign and trade with Miami. A nice sized wing defender like Jimmy that doesn't have the pressure of being the primary scorer would go well with Dame. With Jimmy's contract coming up and seeking the max, I can see Pat Riley not wanting to pay him that much til he's 36, especially with how his game doesn't age super well into the late stages of an NBA career. If I'm Portland I'm possibly thinking to ship CJ and a good amount of picks to Miami in a sign and trade to go all in for 2 years before they pretty much hit rebuild purgatory. Also, Stotts needs to go. I think he's been a fine coach, but a change is probably needed if they don't win this series or don't go to the WCF. It's been a long time, and I think they should look to part ways. Might take a look possibly at Dave Joerger or Lionel Hollins or even possibly Wes Unseld Jr. if they believe in the young defensive minded coach.

[@Tyweezy84]

The only free agency move is to trade dame. He’s never gonna win there. U not gonna get a crazy package back for CJ, he’s a solid role player who can score, but u not get’n back a star. Dame needs a legit big 3 to win, that’s how nba is now unfortunately

[@chandleryen7315]

@@Tyweezy84 Well yeah for Dame, but I'm talking about the Portland franchise. CJ could be a main piece in a package for Jimmy, which I feel Pat isn't gonna re-sign since he didn't even want to re-sign Wade at that age. In Dame's case Philly would be the only possible one and that's if they don't win this year, cuz if they do they're running it back. They didn't trade away Simmons for Harden, so why would they for Dame? Lakers have no more assets after the AD trade. Milwaukee will have to give up Middleton or Holiday and that puts them at a disadvantage missing a wing defender when going up against Brooklyn. Miami didn't want to give up Herro and I doubt Portland takes him.

[@Tyweezy84]

@@chandleryen7315 i agree pat isn’t gonna re sign jimmy, he wants 4/180ms, that’s def not happening, so i can see a move for jimmy, but if u watched him this playoffs jimmy took a step back offensively, his jumper isn’t working.

Dame to LA

[@Tyweezy84]

@Ybyb he’s definitely not an “issue” but he’s also not ever gonna elevate Portland to win. Dame needs a solidified defender who can score (which cj does at times) but they just not a good fit for a championship run. Dame needs some dawgs

[@THE_BEAR_JEW]

You need to go back and check out his playoff history. It's often CJ who performs better than Lillard. Lillard just tends to have a higher ceiling. He can explode for 40+ points. But CJ is far more consistent. The real issues isn't CJ anyway. Just look at the rest of that roster. It's horrible. I like Nurk but he's just not a good defender at all, he's like a superior Enes Kanter lol. Covington has not brought it on defense at all either and he's not really an offensive threat. The defense is just horrible in Portland and it has been for years.

[@leonardallen5522]

Watching this in 2024 and it still breaks my heart. The best singular performance I've ever witnessed live, and that includes MJ's 63.

Yup. He brings smart input into the conversations. This shows how smart he is about the game, given that he's made boneheaded plays before, but even the greats have made mistakes.

I wish either Trailblazers somehow end up drafting a great rookie who contributes right away to the team and becomes a new supporter for Lillard or they get someone in free agency

they left MPJ to get drafted by Nuggets, shows how bad the front office is there... if they drafted him at least Dame would have some help

[@OlJackBurton]

Bucks already have Holiday. They need Jrue's defense more than they need Dame's scoring/shooting...

[@waynefmj]

@@OlJackBurton easy... swap Jrue to SG, put Dame in PG

[@OlJackBurton]

@@waynefmj Jrue is more of a PG than Dame is, especially in the playoffs. If anything, Dame should be the SG guarding PGs and vice versa...

[@waynefmj]

@@OlJackBurton Jrue can still act as PG when he gets the ball as Dame cuts etc off-ball, Dame is most dangerous when he controls the offense from the key. The sight of him dribbling to half-court alone shakes up the defensive line, everyone knows that he can let it fly anytime.

I saving this video in my playlist to rewatch the greatness of Dame Lillard.

[@wladosu]

this should all be about Nikola the Joker Jokic. He had 38 11 and 9. that is about 60 points if you convert assists. And HE WON !

[@natecruz7114]

Lol Lillard had 55 pts. It’s about him because his teammates decided to sell the game. Jokic was amazing though for sure

[@wladosu]

@@natecruz7114 there's a reason why portland lost-Jokic. He is a team player, making his team better. They won, that's all that matters, dame said it himself.

[@Christopher._M]

Lillard had 10 assist which is about 25 points from assist. Add that to his 55 points and he contributed to 80 points and at a spectacular field goal percentage. It's pretty biased to do it for one player and not the other

[@arnoldmumba2308]

You do know that Dame had 10 assists on top of that. Yeah Jokic won, but Dame deserves his shine it was a special game by him. *55 points (playoff career high) 7th highest in the playoffs. *12 3's most in playoff history *first 50/10 in playoff history. All that while shooting above 70% both from 3 and ft.

[@Christopher._M]

@@arnoldmumba2308 Exactly! Not to mention he played extra clutch starting at the end of the 4th quarter. He continued that in the 1st over time period but could not keep it up in the 2nd over time period. You can't even blame him for that. You can't keep playing clutch forever
