Lillard vs Drexler: Who’s the Greatest Blazers Playoffs Performer Ever?
Share this story
In the 2020-21 season, Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Damian Lillard made great strides towards being named the greatest player in franchise history. He currently ranks first overall in points per game, second in total points scored and total minutes played to Blazers legend Clyde Drexler. As Clyde the Glide recedes into the annals of history and Lillard continues to sink impossible three-pointers nightly, Dame is encroaching upon the sacred territory once held by Drexler alone.
If Lillard remains with the Blazers for the balance of his career, or even a couple more years, he’s a sure bet to own all Portland’s scoring and endurance records. But is that the true mark of greatness? Drexler’s advocates would point to playoffs success as the ultimate benchmark. Here Clyde still rules over Dame.but how strongly?

Can LaMelo Ball still win Kia Rookie of the Year?
LaMelo Ball coming back as soon as he did heck, coming back at all was a boost for the Charlotte Hornets and to his already strong candidacy for the 2020-21 Kia Rookie of the Year Award.
The way in which he came back, though, surpassed surprising and veered into stunning.
Six weeks after it appeared his rookie season might be done, Ball returned to action for Charlotte against Detroit Saturday and put up 11 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes. Little apparent rust, no noticeable stamina issues and a recharged Hornets transition game (23 fast-break points) in the victory.
Learning to love the Robin Lopez hook shot By Jack McWilliams on Mar 16, 2021, 9:41pm EDT 12
Justin Ford-USA TODAY Sports As I wrote about earlier this week, losing to the Grizzlies to start the second half of the season could be a bad omen. Additionally, with a back-to-back coming up tonight and tomorrow against the Sixers and then the Bucks, respectively, things could get, well, maybe a bit bleak pretty soon for the Wizards. But hey, how about some gorgeous basketball history to cleanse the palate? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s skyhook is one of the most iconic and unstoppable moves in basketball history. For further context, I recommend this Ringer video that breaks down the history, strategy, and impact of Abdul-Jabbar’s signature move. The former Los Angeles Lakers big man eviscerated defenses with his towering hook shots from all over the interior, ultimately cementing himself and his signature shot as basketball legend.
