Damian Lillard showed off his shooting touch again in an individual workout video in which he made 1,110 of 1,168 shots. The numbers capture the shooting routine the Portland Trail Blazers guard is running through in preseason.
A session with staggering numbers
The clip, filmed during a private practice session, puts Lillard above 95% accuracy across nearly 1,200 attempts. The guard uses this kind of routine to sharpen his mechanics before every season.
The workload goes well beyond a single day. Over the past twelve months he is estimated to have made around 100,000 shots in individual training sessions, a volume that fits the discipline he keeps outside official games.
Context in Portland and the NBA
Lillard returned to Portland after his stint with the Milwaukee Bucks and faces a new chapter with the franchise that drafted him. In the NBA, the guard ranks fifth on the all-time three-pointers made list with 2,804 long-range baskets.
The Blazers comparison
The Trail Blazers put his workload in perspective on social media: according to the club, the entire NBA made 103,227 shots over the past year, while Lillard accumulated 100,100 in his private training sessions.
Routine, not coincidence
The video numbers are no surprise for a nine-time All-Star and former Three-Point Contest champion. What the figures underline is consistency: at 36, the guard is still building his season on measured repetition and extreme shooting volume.
The video showing 1,110 makes in 1,168 attempts and the estimate of roughly 100,000 annual practice shots were reported by ClutchPoints — NBA and Basketball Sphere in matching publications.
