8.) 51-Point Effort Capped Off with Pull-Up Three

As Lillard came off the first of several snubs in his career, he used it as motivation. The Golden State Warriors came to town and Dame seized the opportunity to strut his stuff.

The former Weber State product poured in 51 points against the Warriors, and ran them off the court.

(At 5:07 is when Lillard sends the shot that was destined to go in.)

Amid his unconscious effort, Lillard crossed halfcourt like a man on a mission, and sent the Moda Center into a frenzy.
