I Put Everyone in Their Prime, Except Damian Lillard

what would happen if we took Damia Lillard and made him restart his career from scratch today we're about to find out and his NBA Journey Begins with him being drafted to the Rockets but there's a major challenge awaiting him every single NBA player is back into Prime form with multiple playing the same position as Dame who by the way is only 80 overall and will be coming off the bench as a rookie only averaging 12 points per game and with the Rockets missing the Playoffs it's pretty clear he's going to need some serious help without it he would be cooked we'll start off with number one and he's starting off with a plus 15 layup which is already showing to be extremely useful as his 82 lab has already flown up to a 97 giving Dame his first lead skill in only his second season but that's hardly a reason to celebrate as we're trying to see if Dan can bring home a championship in these tougher conditions but it's gonna take him some time because looking at the rest of the competition it's clear he has a long way to go and to really show you how different the league is Westbrook is back to winning MVPs so in order to catch up James getting his second upgrade and lucky for him it's even better than his first plus tense all finishing which now brings him up to 88 overall so he's getting pretty close to the game we all know him as and on top of that he's now earned a starting spot and will be clearing 20 points per game for the first time he's made a ton of progress in this season alone but most impressively he was able to the Rockets to 45 wins but even then it comes at a price because in real life that win total will put you around the fourth seed but because of the increased competition Dame has to sell for the eight where he would go up against the Lakers and Prime LeBron in the first round that is some of the worst luck I have ever seen and unfortunately that luck will continue to work against Dame as he and his teammates still aren't ready to compete with the duo of LeBron and A.D who would take an easy 3-1 lead and it's over and my prediction wound up being true they would eventually head to La for what wound up being the final game at some point Dame will be able to make a competitive but today's not that day he's being sent home in five games Dame's first playoff run is ending with a 20-point loss I mean I don't know bro it's progress he made progress who cares and to put that progress into perspective every season Dames made a massive Improvement in the win column which ultimately has to continue there's still plenty of other super teams will have to face off against and to help him out with that he's now on to his third upgrade Dame's not really known as a Defender but today he might be and with team's newly found defensive tenacity he's finally cracking 9 90 overall averaging 26 points per game to make it to his first All-Star game it's the only Accolade he has thus far but once again the only one that matters is a championship one that'll be especially difficult as for his first round matchup he's up against a tougher team than he faced last season the Chris wall and Steph Curry LED Golden State Warriors Dame couldn't beat the Warriors in real life I don't know how he's going to beat them if they have Prime Chris Ball as well but despite my doubts Dame will get right to work averaging 28 points per game in the series unfortunately though it meant absolutely nothing the one two punch of seven Chris Paul to put it short are way too much we'll go more in depth about Dame's teammates later but right now they're not helping it's basically a two on one with Dame not just being sent home but getting swept as well so obvious man and with that James now entering his Fifth Season he's ran into a few super teams at this point but let's check in on his teammates for a second specifically Jalen green who's moved all the way up to 89 officially making him damn sidekick in order for Dame to take down these super teams he's going to need some help and Jalen might be the man and for the job but before we worry about that team has yet another regular season to go through where he would average 30 points per game for the first time and while that's impressive it really doesn't matter that much we're still waiting for him to make some noise in the playoffs and unfortunately for him he's up against yet another super team and this time it's the Kevin Durant LED sons who would take it to seven games but unlike previous Seasons Dames reached another level and he would come through in front of his home fans defeating the sons convincingly to move on to the second round he's moving on to the second round it's the first time he was able to take down one of the best trios in the entire league but it's only getting harder from here as Dames heading out west to challenge the Clippers who have Paul George Kawhi and Russell Westbrook all back into Prime form out of all the teams Dame will be up against this one's probably my favorite I'm still rooting for Dame though of course but it doesn't matter who I root for because at the end of the day the better team will win and it wound up being the Clippers who would take not one not two but three straight games to start off the series there it is man there it is there's a 3-0 lead and unfortunately for Dame not only is he going to lose this series but he's going to get swept for a second straight time and not only is he losing but he's losing to the eventual Champions every team that beats Dame I think has won the championship I might be wrong and with that James pretty much gotten a taste of every top team in the league except for one that will get to shortly and after one last upgrade it seems like something's clicked because he would lead the Rockets to the second seed averaging 28-12 to somehow win his first MVP bro honestly I kind of zoned out I don't know how he did it but he did it Dame has now officially launched himself into the top tier of NBA players but the real question is can he get it done in the playoffs he would start off by destroying KD in the sons for a second straight time eliminating them in six games he would then face up against the Warriors the team that eliminated him last season but shockingly it looked to be the opposite as he would dominate his way to a 3-1 lead he's about to do it he's actually about to do it only six seasons in and if he were able to pull it off in 6 Seasons it would be the fastest out of any player who's Taken part in this challenge but it's not going to come that easily as Steph and Chris Paul aren't going down that easily as they would eventually win the next two to force game seven but ultimately it wound up being a false alarm as in game seven Dame would dominate one last time with 39 points out tooling the two stars sending them home Dame is moving on to his first Conference Finals and he's about to shoot it too I don't know why how why did he shoot it if Dane can win a championship it'll be the most impressive in NBA history but there's one last super team he has to overcome that being the Memphis Grizzlies with Derrick Rose and John Moran who would easily dominate the pain for the entire series but while they're doing that Dane would opt to score from the outside keeping the series close despite being the underdog to the point where the series would come down to the final minutes of game seven Jaws bringing up the ball it's a tie game game seven whoever wins is going to the finals D Rose is standing in the right corner being guarded by Dame and it looks like they're running a play for him he's about to get the ball at the left the up Dame's gonna have to play defense they set a pick D Rose takes a screen he drives right fantastic defense from Dame it's off Dame did have that one defensive upgrade earlier that might be coming in clutch and he runs out of bounds jaw with the ball jaw with a pass down to the center and oh my God God who is uh out of all the people bro they have an MVP and the player who could win MVP one day they have him on the same team the Passover to tame in the corner on Trends in transition he misses the shot bro that is that is two awful possessions from Dane back to back jaw with the ball jaw being guarded by Jalen they're about to pass into D Rose no they don't D Rose is just watching jaw takes a shot he misses it Houston's still alive but they're down two somebody has to get it to Dame Dame driving left doesn't step out of bounds this time he's kind of just running around for no reason he shoots a three that's three he bricked three straight times or he he messed up on three straight times make make one make one make one he missed both okay Houston has gone cold at the worst possible time the Memphis home crowd is oh my God what a block Jalen green with a ball well they pass it to Dame or will they freeze him out kind of rightfully so because he's selling and I don't know how that wasn't a turnover but fine it's a tie game both teams is one shot with the ball I'm in interested to see if he takes a shot or D Rose it looks like he's attacking the floater it's good 52 seconds left on the clock it's now a two-point game Dame off the timeout inbound whatever man and a foul is called a legal screen what happened there's no way the refs have it out for us that's not jaw flop oh my God they're about to lose bro they're actually about to lose what kind of pass okay pass of the damn team's about to be open team's about to be open team's about to be open oh my God pump fake wow he didn't even drive Dame Dame that's four oh my God damn bro it does not it does not get worse than that they don't even get the rebound it's over it's over it's over or it's probably over they can get a stop but I think oh my God they're still alive they're still alive they're still at home I can't handle this man and with that missed shot Houston's only down three with 10 seconds left they're still alive but at the same time I had my doubts you have been awful you've been terrible man but you have the chance to redeem yourself please do something are they going to pass it to him are they going to pass it to him they don't pass oh my God they don't even they don't even respect them anymore the rebound offensive rebound Jalen green for three they stay ink man it's over it's over like literally you can't you can't throw away a game any worse than that Dame would then launch a full court shot that had no chance of going in eliminating him in probably the most embarrassing way possible Memphis didn't even play well they didn't and ironically it would be D Rose and jaw who would bring home a title to Memphis Dame has now gone up against some of the top Duos and trios in the league and he probably should leave but we all know for now he is his NBA Journey has been a rollercoaster and none would be better summed up by his seventh season where he would once again bring home the MVP still no championships only to get eliminated by jokic's first round Thames now entering season 8 which will be his most crucial to date since he not only has two seasons left on his contract but on a more positive note he's now in 99 overall thanks to the increased competition so the regular season is easy what we're really here for though is the playoffs and it would start off with Dame defeating Katie in the Suns for a third time Dame is better than KD now I don't know shortly after he would head back to Memphis for a rematch and we all know what happened last time but Dame was able to bounce back averaging over 30 this time to not only get his revenge but to it in convincing fashion T Rose driving on Dame the spin move and he cuts the lead down to 36. now he's heading to his second Conference Finals but this time he's facing the Warriors who have the elite shooting Trio of clay CP3 and of course so but because of some interesting off-season moves the front Court's looking a little different and then they just follow it up in the front court with Draymond and Ben Simmons I don't know how they had the cap space to pull this off but that is the worst shooting Duo that's ever been made and that horrible terrible shooting Duo would actually work against the Warriors giving Dame the chance to make it a series despite being the higher seed he's the underdog and he would answer the call averaging his usual 30 to eventually force game seven and Not only would it come down to one decisive game but it would come down to one final shot 36 seconds tie game Dame you can redeem yourself from earlier with that horrible performance or we'll just watch Jalen green miss a layup that's fine too he should have put it back up oh my God damn has finally redeemed himself bro he finally did it and he's doing the wave he hits the shot and if we take that back a little bit of course bro of course Chris Paul Chris Paul is cursed man but the game's still not over and unlike previous Chris Ball Teams he didn't have a player like Steph Curry on his side do not just do not just don't choke don't choke don't choke don't choke so I have one more possession left oh my God oh my God course of course no it doesn't matter so now we have a tied game with 16 seconds left it's the most crucial possession of Dane's career and we all know he's taking the final shot if Dame hits two go-ahead shots in the last 40 seconds of the game 30 40 seconds of the game it will be one of the greatest playoff moments ever literally Dame with the ball top of the key I'm assuming somebody's sending him the screen they pass it over to jail Jalen's about this he hit it he hit it he hit it he hit it remember earlier when I mentioned that Jalen might have to come through well he did in a huge way hitting the game winner to send the Rockets to the finals the Chris Paul curse strikes yet again what just happened what just happened damn's going to the finals and that would give Dame all the momentum in the world heading to Philly for the finals it's a battle between him and Prime Harden but compared to what he's faced earlier it's easy as he would dominate both home and away to take a 2-1 lead while Hardin would be struggling pardon ISO driving right no step back being clamped and he has a fat suit on bro because he's he's kinda a washed again I don't know what's happening yup he missed two layoffs game with the ball Dame driving left the pull-up three over embiid he hits it he's about to go up 3-1 which would send him back to Houston for game five where he would seal the deal winning his first championship after eight grueling Seasons it took him some upgrades and some help from his teammates but he got it done one of my favorite players now has a virtual NBA championship and it's even more impressive when you realize that Dame's pretty much always been the underdog but what about a player that everyone has a ton of expectations for kind of like Victor one benyama if we put him in the same challenge Dame just went through could he win a championship to find out the answer to that question click the video on the screen foreign
