There is very little doubt, if any, about Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors being the greatest shooter of all time. Very few people can challenge this title. More than a few folks would agree that one of them is Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard.
Especially when it comes to range, Dame is probably the only player in the NBA today who can go head-to-head with Curry. A testament to this notion is Lillard's latest offseason workout clip. Check out how the Blazers guard effortlessly drains eight consecutive bombs from around 35 feet out (h/t NBA TV on Twitter):
Dame is an absolute bucket 🔥

Damian Lillard made all eight of his shots in less than 30 seconds, which makes this feat even more impressive. However, the mind-blowing aspect of this is how the Blazers star doesn't even seem to break a sweat while doing it. Is he actually wearing jeans, too? Probably not, right?
LeBron James recently took a shot at NBA players who he believes are going about their summer workouts all wrong. The King is annoyed with how some players work on things they never actually use during games. Damian Lillard practicing 35-footers definitely does NOT fall under that classification. His shooting ability, right there with Stephen Curry in any conversation of great long-range marksmen, is manifested on a regular basis whenever he takes the floor.
