On the latest edition of TheDraymond Green Show, Green sent a shoutout to the NBA about Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard. Lillard has been out since 2025 while recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon, but he is working his way back into form and recently posted a video of his shooting workout in which he hit 1,100 of 1,168 shots.
"I can't say that I've ever seen anyone hit 1,100 out of 1,168… I don't think the league is ready to see the type of shooting display that Dame bout to put on."

The display impressed Green, who raved about it on his eponymous podcast.
“Dame Lillard posted his shooting practice from over the weekend, and he made 1,100 out of 1,168 threes, which is 94% from three. And playing with someone like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson for the bulk of my career, I can't say that I've ever seen anyone hit 1,100 out of 1,168. I'm also not about to sit there and watch Steph shoot 1,100 shots. So has he done something like that? I don't know. Does it even matter? no, it does not. You know why it doesn't matter? Because this is about Damian Lillard.
He then put Lillard's display into perspective.
“Coming off an Achilles surgery, don't play any basketball, don't be in front of any crowds, and go win the three-point contest, that's no easy feat. For a period of time, all he can do is shoot. Being a marksman that he already was, man, he gonna have to get his legs under him for sure in coming back. But when he do, I don't think the league is ready to see the type of shooting display that Dame about to put on when he get back. I'm not looking forward to it either, at least not when they play us.”
Lillard already is notorious as one of the league's best 3-point marksmen. With the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024-2025 season before his injury, he shot 37.6% from the 3-point range. He's also known for his long 3-point shots, earning himself the nickname “Logo Lillard.” He now returns to an NBA court with the Portland Trail Blazers as they look to rebuild into a playoff contender.
