Damian Lillard can score from anywhere. He pitches fireballs off the bounce and can't be given an inch of space at just about anytime, ever.

Here's visual evidence:

Lillard is having the best year of his career, one season removed from being the starting point guard on a championship contender. He's as good as ever, and shots like this show why.

The Atlanta Hawks defend it perfectly. Thabo Sefolosha slithers over Meyers Leonard's screen as Paul Millsap places himself in great position to take away an open three.

But on this play, Lillard was better than perfect.
