Damian Lillard changed the NBA landscape on February 26th, 2023 when he scored 71 points against the Houston Rockets. On that night, Lillard set the Trail Blazers’ franchise record for points scored, equaling the eighth-best performance in NBA history besides.
Doing so, Lillard also reignited an age-old debate with new verve. That’s the subject of today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Dear Dave,
Your fellow media members have been fighting with fans to argue who’s the best Blazer ever. It’s getting salty and it appears to be generational with older people still holding on to Clyde or Walton but the modern fan holding up Dame.
