Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard shook two defenders on his way to a gliding slam dunk over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Peep the clip below to see how Lillard made it look so easy. All that the Blazers guard needed is a screen to make the Pelicans defense look silly.

Lillard has been on a scoring tear for the last several weeks. In the second to the last week of January, the five-time Blazers All-Star averaged 52.7 points per week. He also had 9.3 assists, 7.3 rebounds and shot 53.4% from the field, 57.4% from the 3-point line and 94.9% from the free-throw line. Rightfully, he was named Player of the Week for his antics.
The following week, the 29-year-old averaged 45.0 points (56.3% FG, 56.4% 3-PT, 88.5% FT), 7.0 rebounds and 11.0 assists, and was crowned Player of the Week once again.
How long will this Lillard explosion last?
