Kyrie Irving came close to stealing Damian Lillard’s swag on Monday, and now Lillard is having a little bit of fun with it.
Irving exploded for 40 points in a win over the New York Knicks Monday night. After hitting a clutch shot in the fourth quarter, Irving teased Lillard’s famous “Dame Time” celebration before ultimately stopping short.
Lillard had a great reaction to the moment. He tweeted that he was getting Dragonfly Jones vibes from Irving, referencing the old Martin Lawrence character.
Despite being rival point guards, Irving and Lillard do seem fairly close. The former apparently recognizes the sanctity of “Dame Time” as well.
