Damian Lillard is the greatest Portland Trail Blazer. Ever.
If there were doubts about who wears the crown, with a couple of free throws on Monday night, Lillard passed Clyde Drexler to become the all-time leading scorer in Trail Blazer history.

Lillard’s Hall of Fame resume over 11 seasons in Portland is legendary: Rookie of the Year (2013), six-time All-NBA, six-time All-Star, one of the 75 greatest players in the history of the game, and he has taken the Trail Blazers to the Western Conference finals. More than just on the court, Lillard has been active in the community with his charitable foundation and working with the Trail Blazers — he’s been committed to Portland as more than just a player.
Lillard finished with 28 points, but it wasn’t enough to get the win because Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got space for a baseline buzzer-beating game-winner.
