Damian Lillard just went nuclear on the entire Denver Nuggets team. The Portland Trail Blazers may have lost Game 5, but it's safe to say fans will remember this night for years to come.

The Blazers star poured in 55 points on an absolutely absurd 17-for-24 shooting clip from the field. Lillard was also a mind-blowing 12-for-17 from three-point land as he willed his team into double overtime.

Safe to say Damian Lillard impressed most of his peers. Here's long-time rival Draymond Green touting his Blazer buddy.

Even icons from other sports had to give Damian Lillard his props. Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs chimed in with how stunned he was after what he had witnessed.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson knows what historic basketball looks like. He saw it from Lillard in Game 5.

Playoff breakout star Ja Morant needed just a couple of words and emojis to express what he was feeling about Lillard's 55.

Lillard performance transcended languages, as San Antonio Spurs great Manu Ginobili spoke out in two translations to heap praise on the Blazers star.

The big boys just had to react too. Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, two of the greatest scorers in NBA history, gave their props for what Lillard was able to accomplish.

If you asked Damian Lillard, he'd definitely trade his historic night and all this validation for the Game 5 win. If he was motivated tonight, Blazers fans can only hope he one-ups himself in Game 6.
