“Damian Lillard has more range than Stephen Curry!”: NBA Twitter reacts to the Blazers superstar knocking down 8 consecutive long distance shots with ease
During training camp, Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard knocks down 8 consecutive shots from way beyond the three-point arc.
Damian Lillard is one of the top guards in the league today. The Portland Trail Blazers superstar is among the best shooters in the league who needs to be heavily guarded as soon as he crosses the half-court line.
This past season too, Dame was on fire the whole year. Dropping 28.8 points, 7.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds on an efficient 45/39/92 shooting split, the Blazers guard was unstoppable and menace for the defense at any given point. He even led the Blazers to their 8th straight postseason appearance, with the 6th best record in the West. However, their year came to an end after MVP Nikola Jokic and co. handed them a 4-2 series defeat in the first round itself.

Just like Robert Covington, most of the fans too were left impressed. However, there are some users on NBA Twitter who still managed to troll Dame.
More range than Curry

Does this mean you’re getting out of the first round of the playoffs? I’m sure he did this every offseason. How did that work out?

In such a busy offseason, sadly, the Blazers front office didn’t surround Lillard with a strong support cast, yet again. However, with Dame and CJ McCollum leading this team, there is no doubt that Portland could shock a few legit title contenders over the course of the season.

![Jason Williams and Chris Webber have always been known to indulge in strange antics with each other, which was raised by Comedian Andrew Schulz, on his show, Flagrant. Appearing on the show, Jason Williams was asked whether he was involved "in a drive-by paintball shooting of Chris Webber's house in Sacramento". The White Chocolate burst into laughter and "plead the fifth". Williams confessed that maybe "his house caught some bullets along the way". However, to everyone's surprise, he told the comedian that "he [Chris Webber] was probably with me in some them drivebys." Adding to this, Williams also shared a hilarious story of a similar driveby with Webber, where the latter's shoe fell off but he had to somehow get it back. "We were doing that one time..we couldn't get in the gate or something so we decided we're going to go down and do our thing at the security guard at night, right, so we got two little scooters we are riding on these scooters and we dropped them in the dark and we are walking through the woods and whatever, we go the paintballs, we got the rocks, boom boom and we take off and left the scooters. But C Web's shoe falls off. And we got back and I was like 'Bro, where is your shoe?'" The story left everyone in the panel in splits as Williams made the 2021 Hall of Fame Inductee go all the way back to fetch his shoe because living in an all-white community, Webber was probably the only one with that size of shoe. However, on a serious note, the 2006 NBA champion confessed that it was one of the most fun times he had with his former teammate. He added that "it was a blessing in disguise" because they had to play a lot of games in different locations. It is obviously heartwarming to see such a chemistry between the legendary duo of Sacramento Kings. Jason Williams once had to travel in the undercarriage of the team bus Rookie hazing has been a part of teams in the NBA, where the veterans on the team try to build chemistry with young players in their own ways like alotting chores. Chris Webber once narrated one such incident where the rookie Jason Williams hid in the undercarriage of the team bus to avoid it. Upon reaching the hotel, the team noticed that Williams was missing. After searching for some time, the team looked under the bus and there was the 1998 draftee. When Webber asked him the reason, White Chocolate responded, "I don't wanna ride with y'all bi*ches up here." Even though it is a fun tradition among teammates to get to know each other, it did take a toll on the one-time All-Star. However, it was not long after this, the two developed good team ability to make some amazing plays together.](https://thesportsrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/7f3ad985-nba-2023-11-08t231816.707-300x300.jpg)
