[Highlight] Damian Lillard with a big block on Siakam
My mind was blown
🥷 has a 6’9 wingspan
In all seriousness, that’s not that much in the NBA.
MFing Jerami Grant has a 7’3” wingspan and last caught a rebound in 1986.
A 6’2 player with a 6’9 wingspan is a fair bit for that size. I think Jrue has a 6’7 wingspan .
look up Donovans wingspan hes like 6’1 with a 6’10 wingspan lol
The winner for biggest difference between height and wingspan in “measurable” NBA history is… Talen Horton-Tucker. 6’2.5” to 7’1.25”
For even smaller guards Dennis Schroeder is looong, so, like everyone with that measurement, he also had in his draft resume “high defensive potential”…
Mo Bamba also has a 10.75 inches difference between height and wingspan (6’11.25 height and 7’10 wingspan)
I hear you and I think it’s a fair point. It suggests Dame should maybe be a better defender than he is. I’m just saying that if you sort the NBA population by standing reach, a 6’2” player with a 6’9” wingspan is still going to be well below average when so many guys are starting from 6’5”, 6’6”, 6’7”, etc and also have relatively long reach for their height.
Holy shit you might be a genius
Give him a break it’s Friday night lmaoo
It’s all about effort. When Jerami Grant first came to the league he used his length to block shots. Now he doesn’t give a fuck. Duncan Robinson has long arms but doesn’t use it for anything. Jimmy has a neutral wingspan and is one of the better offensive rebounding guard/forward. Fred and CP3 don’t have long arms but can steal the ball
The way Lillard wound up for the jump is crazy, you could tell he was jumping “with bad intentions” lol
Yea, he was locking up DeRozan against SAC when for some reason he looked like he actually gave a fuck. Had three blocks in that game. My point is really that a 6’9” wingspan is not especially notable in a league full of giants. It’s a lot for a PG, but still smurfed by a lot of wings and forwards.
That’s a lot for a guard man, especially a 6’1 guard. Imagine Davion Mitchell with 4 inch longer wingspan
thats cuz grant is bad at rebounding not cuz wingspan doesnt matter lol
Jalen williams 7’3 wingspan is a tidbit i bring up at every opportunity tho
Jalength Willarms
I believe he has the biggest wingspan/height difference in the league right now.
Man. I learned the other day I have a 6’7” wingspan at 6’2”. Just needed to share that.
The Lakers need you what are you doing here
I’ve got you beat by an inch in both respects so there
Plus’s huge hands for a guard, honestly he rlly should be better on d. Should’ve listened and practiced with GP when he offered jt
DAMN TIME
*6’8, surprised he doesn’t do it more
I thought this might have been a joke honestly.
Was expecting a swipe on the way up or something. Man caught him at the peak of his jump.
2014 Dunk Contest participant! Dame had legit hops back in his athletic peak
Was shook seeing this haha, also did the announcer said that Milwaukee were 3-18 since Giannis sit on the bench or did i misheard ?
No you did not mishear man this team sucks
The team as a whole is currently 18⁄48 from the field. Giannis is 7⁄9. It is not the first time we’ve shot sub-30% from the field in a half outside of him in this series.
Make no mistake, Giannis has the worst support cast so far this playoffs and it is not a contest.
Yo, we won.
I take it back. GTJ is the second star we needed all along, we’re headed straight to a title baby.
15 more wins
What happened? Jrue for dame. And Middleton for kuzma. And just age? The team is mostly the same other than that when they won a chip
Even the two specific trades you mentioned were age/injury related. Middleton couldn’t stay healthy and Jrue couldn’t be a second option, so we traded for one. But he’s now injured and playing like shit. Then Middleton continued being unhealthy and eventually became washed, so we moved him for basically the only guy we could to at least get under the second apron.
Outside of those two, Brook is washed. A team like the Pacers would never have been a good matchup for him, but you watch him in 2025 against a fast-paced shooting team like that and he may as well not be out there. For all the talk of his shooting allowing 5 out play he was never actually especially good at it outside of 2019, and even by his mediocre standards he’s been cold so far.
KPJ was balling in the regular season, has been anonymous in the playoffs. Prince has been cold. Guys got cold in our title run too but Tucker/Matthews were better defenders. Connaughton was a solid contributor when we won a title and isn’t even that old but he’s washed now somehow.
Injuries and age fucked our next three best players after Giannis, and the role players just kept getting replaced over time with guys who were slightly worse until they just became bad.
Both of those moves absolutely had to be done. If they weren’t, the future would have been dire.
Can’t just look at it as an X for y type thing. They’re moves that spawned other moves. Domino effect. And Kuzma dropped them under the apron.
Pj tucker was huge for us, but yeah just got old
if you told me teams combined made 3 shots entire game i would believe it. Man this is ugly to watch :S
If i am a Bucks I am livid that, after this insanity happens, they let lillard on siakam again on the inbound. How does something like that happen on an Nba team back to back.
Trust me, we are all livid
That happens everytime bro
Best Doc Rivers coaching decision
Happened more than 3 times. Coaching staff getting paid millions btw
Notorious rim protector Damian Lillard
This is what Ben Simmons was afraid of with Trae
Known defensive juggernaut Damian Lillard
Who voted for Gobert over Dame
2 playoff games on right now and there are two (2) highlights posted in the last hour
Yeah r/nba mods banned the one guy who actually posts highlights
Justice for MrBuckBuck
What happened? Ootl
What happened to MrBuckBuck? Actually carried the highlight posting…
waiting for the lakers game to start
Siakam got his revenge the next play on Lillard with the and-1, but I would not call a fair trade.
Lmfao Marques is hilarious. “Get that shit outta here!”
Good defensive playÂ
Had to redeem himself after that absolutely garbage pass lmao
Honestly, I notice that a lot of players will give it 110% on the next play following a mistake. Extra-hard defense after a turnover, go deep in their bag on offense if they give up an easy layup on defense.
You can even see Dame’s first reaction is apologizing for the bad pass, saying it was on him, rather than flexing on Siakam or something. Just trying to clean up his own mess.
Yeah I was surprised I had to scroll through so many comments before somebody said this. Great idea, bad pass. Nice redemption.
I thought that title was backwards initially
Damn
and then he got a free bucket
Fresh legs
There’s no way Pascal was expecting that lol
Playoff basketball
Dame Lillard and Trae Young for Co-DPoY
Dayum
nothing against dame, but that was a really weak shot by siakam
Dame did his best D-Wade impression!
Do you think he did leg day when he was supposed to be resting?
Did Marquis really just say “Get that Shit outta here?” Lmao I love that man.

Sick
And then he immediately gave up an And 1 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow amazing lil Dame gets his first block
Maybe sometime in the next few years he can win a championship. Ain’t happenin with this Bucks team. Even if they win 4 straight against the Pacers, they would get bitchslapped by the Cavs, and they have no possible hope against Boston. Their 3pt shooters are awful, they are slow as hell, and they have no rim runners to take pressure off ball handlers, nor do they have actual ball handlers. You can just pressure them on ball and they just let it happen, starting their offense down 10+ seconds. The cavs would just sub on ball defenders in and out of the game and ruin them.
It’s honestly hilarious, it’s like someone on r/nba built the Bucks team. Maybe next year Dame?
are you okay?
