It seems like a few times a season, Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard puts up a stat line or reaches a milestone that puts him in the company of some of the NBA’s all-time great players. Whether it’s joining Artis Gilmore as one of the few players to start the first 250 games of his career, being the first player since Allen Iverson to score at least 50 points, hand out at least five assists and tally at least five steals in a game or being the first player since Michael Jordan to put up at least 39 points, nine rebounds and six assists in a season opener, Lillard has made a habit of turning in historic performances during his four and a half NBA seasons.
