Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard just proved on Sunday night that he still remains to be one of the most clutch players in the NBA today. Dame’s epic game-winner against the Sacramento Kings will, simply put, forever be etched in Bucks history not only as Lillard’s first game-winning buzzer-beater for his new team but also, as one of the best clutch shots in franchise history.
Giannis Antetokounmpo definitely believes so.
Milwaukee Bucks Star Damian Lillard Climbs Leaderboard
After Lillard’s heroic effort, the seven-time All-Star now has no less than four game-winners to his name. He had three during his time with the Portland Trail Blazers, and he’s now opened his account with the Bucks.
As pointed out by Bally Sports Wisconsin, only the great LeBron James stands above Lillard in terms of buzer-beating game-winners since the 2012-13 season:

That’s pretty elite company.
Lillard entered Sunday’s game tied with Jimmy Butler, Harrison Barnes, Devin Booker, DeMar DeRozan, Luka Doncic, and Tobias Harris with three buzzer-beaters. He came out of the pack with his 32-foot heave against Sacramento, and he is now just one clutch shot behind the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
At this rate, it would not be surprising if Lillard ends up atop this list when it’s all said and done.
