Damian Lillard · Still as clutch as they come in the NBA with his new team, Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has left opponents with that ever-familiar, deer-in-the-headlights look when he has the ball in the fourth quarter. Tried and tested against a feisty, unrelenting Detroit Pistons group, the newly-named All-Star starter decides to unleash perhaps his most exhilarating performance in a Bucks uniform, lighting up the opposition for 45 points — 28 of those in the second half — six rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, and five 3-pointers. A scorer of video game-like proportions, Lillard, predictably, also had a little something prepared for the game’s final minute, adjusting his watch to “Dame Time” before producing the game-clinching steal and score, ensuring victory on January 20, 2024. · State of Mint
