    "The Closer" Damian Lillard

    Deserves the "Closer" sig skill

    I understand that 2k/OS likely hasn't seen many Blazers games this season, however, he completely took over during the Spurs game on national TV. He just tonight hit a game winning 3 with 0.3 secs left on the clock to lift Portland over NO.

    Here's some 4th quarter footage from the Rockets @ Portland game earlier this season.

    He's consistently shown his ability to lift his team in the fourth... the man is a closer!

      1 game shouldn't make someone deserve "The Closer".

              Umm he's been doing it all season long? Did either of you even read my entire post or just come in here with "Oh he's a rookie who I haven't watch NO WAY"?

                  Yeah i know he carries the Blazers in some games but 2-3 game winning shots doesn't mean you get a closer sig not saying he won't get it eventually but players like Rose , Wade , Melo done it in a decent amount of games in HUGE MOMENTS.

                      And to add on to what i already said lets not ignore he missed the 3pt before that one.

                          It's the last shot that counts. 3 or 4? Game winners aren't all that counts for the "closer" sig skill. It's if you elevate your play during the 4th quarter which he clearly does, and does so on a consistent basis (numerous times).

                                  I have to agree with Mr Shaka Laka. His 4th quarter play has been ridiculous. The closer skill isn't for the last shot its for "superhuman" play throughout the fourth. Hes carried his team like a veteran. In 2k13 its evident when playing Melo and trying to stop him with 5 minutes. It also applies to defense, assists, and rebounds im pretty sure but i cant say 100%

                                          Nah. By this logic Jeremy Lin should get it for last year.

                                                      This is off topic, but Gordon Hayward is seriously deserving of Chasedown Artist. I've seen him block countless shots from behind.
