Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is not shying away from the recognition that he might just be the most clutch player in the NBA today. In fact, it looks like he's embracing it.
After seeing a statistic that show he has the highest clutch true shooting percentage in NBA history, Lillard had the perfect reaction to it as if implying that it's just normal for him.
For what it's worth, the said stat also revealed how the Blazers star has recorded an 80 percent effective field goal rate in the playoffs, having made a total of nine game-tying or go-ahead shots in the last minute of a playoff game.

There's a reason why the reaction “Dame Time” was born. Damian Lillard has truly become one of the most clutch players in the NBA, and opponents have all learned not to allow him touch the ball in the closing minutes since he has proven time and time again that no lead is safe when he is on the floor.
If you want proof of how clutch Lillard is, then look no further than the 2019 NBA playoffs between the Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder. His game-winner from half-court and with Paul George guarding him is a prime example why his clutch magic is known all over the league.
Dame may have yet to win an NBA title, but he has undoubtedly been one of the most entertaining players to watch in recent years. You just can't get enough of “Dame Time.”
