Every single person in this thread thinking it’s a done deal. Stop the jinx!

You do know what "away" means in the context of "points away from", right?

And "current pace" means?

Or saying that it's not reasonable to expect him to maintain his current average?

I’ve been on TOO many broadcasts where everybody is talking about something that’s going to happen and then they jinx it. TONS of examples. Don’t jinx this dude.

Aren't you jinxing it too?

Nope, I don’t think he will do it.

reverse jinxing, or "reverse woofing", is worse than the original jinx.

With his 26 points against Charlotte last night, Lillard has now passed Magic Johnson and moved into#83 all-time NBA Career Scoring list.



There are a lot of notable names coming up that he should be passing in his next few games. Let's hope for a healthy Lillard!

Am I a bad NBA fan for not knowing who the heck Bailey Howell is?

Wasn't he the guy who sang with Phil Collins?

I had to look him up too! You know when his picture online is black and white, he played in a different era. Bailey Howell’s rookie year was 1959-60. Yeah, I wasn’t following basketball at that time.

That would be Philip Bailey - Easy Lover was the song.

am I an old NBA fan for actually knowing who he was?

Philip Bailey… isn’t that the guy who played for the Jazz with the goggles in the 80’s?

No, that was THURL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BAILEY!

I will always remember the Jazz PA guy saying his name. That and the guy who does the Lakers PA saying "Worthy" and "shaqueeeeeile o'neal"

I hate my brain sometimes.

That was the first guy that came to mind when I saw "Bailey". 'Cause I had his basketball card.

Me too. For some reason, I always think of him, Mel Turpin, and the guy who played for the Mavs and got suspended from the league, Roy Tarpley.

Just at random times too. Oh and Chris Washburn, he who is totally never talked about as a massive bust in the NBA draft.

For me, it's Wayman Tisdale and Kelly Tripucka.

Oh man, Kelly Tripucka! Hated him as a Jazz, loved him on the Hornets.

Herb Williams, James Donaldson and Lionel Simmons.

Shit man, there needs to be a 'where are they now' in the NBA.

Simmons, yes! That's definitely another one for me.

I will play this "random NBA player that I remember for absolutely no reason" game all day. Next up for me...Tree Rollins, Rony Seikaly, and the hideous jump-shot of Michael Adams.

Where’s the update on where Dame stands right now? The world is demanding an update OP.

HA forgot about Michael Adams. I was so pissed when he made the all star team.

Speaking of Nugget players, what about Todd Licthi?


Or Marcus Liberty?

Or Dave Corzine? Or Never Nervous Pervis Ellison?

All right, all right--you win, that's some impressive randomness right there. Loved me some Pervis Ellison though.

Now I'm just happily perusing this list of players from 89-90, recalling names. Mike Gminski, Tom Tolbert, Larry Brett Krystowiak--I'm 11 again and loving it.

This is awesome!

G-man!

Jeff Ruland too.

Funny note, whenever I think of Gminski, I think of three things. That luscious beard he had, Maurice Cheeks and former Blazers coach Marc Iavaroni (even tho Marc was never a teammate of Mike's).

Also, G-Man totally could've been a model, the guy was chiseled and had a square face. And not in a weird Herman Munster sorta way either.

Assuming Dame plays all the games after tonight, this should give you an idea of when he might break the record:

I posted where Dame is at on the NBA all-time scoring list earlier today - Here

Here's a look at where Lillard stands for Career Points as a Blazer -
