While the eyes of the basketball world were fixed on Cleveland and Golden State Tuesday night, Damian Lillard was opening his season with a 39-point performance against the Utah Jazz, which included this very Dame-like dagger.

Lillard added nine rebounds and six assists to his 39 points, which came on an incredibly efficient 13-of-20 shooting performance. He also went 4-of-6 from deep and 9-of-9 from the free throw line.
