Boston Celtics big man Enes Kanter says the game-winner of Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard over Paul George and the Oklahoma City Thunder is the craziest shot he's ever seen live.
Kanter played for the Blazers last season. Lillard scored 50 points in Game 5 against the Thunder and sent OKC home with that epic walk-off 3-pointer which was from nearly half-court.
"That's an easy one, Damian Lillard. The craziest shot ever."

Damian Lillard has two walk-off shots on his postseason résumé. The first one was against the Houston Rockets in the 2014 playoffs.
The Blazers star finished Game 5 shooting 17-of-33 from the floor and 10-of-18 from beyond the arc. Dame was simply a man possessed in that series against the Thunder, averaging 33.0 points in the five-game stretch and shooting 46.1 percent from the field and 48.1 percent from the 3-point line.
Kanter, Lillard and the Blazers made it to the Western Conference Finals in the 2019 playoffs, where they got swept by the Golden State Warriors. However, it was still a memorable playoff run for them.
This season for the Blazers, Lillard was putting up 28.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists in 58 games before the NBA suspended the season due to COVID-19. Portland was in the ninth spot in the Western Conference standings with a record of 29-37.
Kanter, who split time last season with the New York Knicks and Blazers, is putting up 8.2 points and 7.7 rebounds for the Celtics in 51 contests.
