#19: Damian Lillard (2012–Present)
When the clock winds down, Damian Lillard doesn’t flinch. His game-winners are legendary, especially the cold-blooded 37-foot buzzer-beater to eliminate OKC in the 2019 playoffs. Drafted by Portland in 2012, Lillard quickly became the face of the franchise.

A seven-time All-Star and one of the greatest deep shooters in league history, he’s averaged over 24 points and six assists per game for more than a decade. He dropped 71 points in a game in 2023—yet somehow, it’s his poise in crunch time that defines him. When Dame time hits, the moment’s already over. He made sure of it.
