VIDEO: Damian Lillard Casually Drains 3-Pointer From the Logo Against 76ers
By Karl Rasmussen
If you don't guard Damian Lillard tight, he's going to make you pay. And Lillard did just that against the 76ers on Saturday. In the third quarter, Lillard was slowly taking the ball up in transition, and when he crossed half court unguarded, he knew exactly what to do. Instead of run the Blazers' offense, Lillard darted to the edge of the logo and casually drained a deep ball.

There are very few shooters in the league confident enough to even attempt that shot, better yet do it with that level of casualness. Lillard is never phased by the biggest moments, and as evidenced here, he'll never back away from an open look. A true killer's mentality.
