Dame's field goal percentage this season(43.4%) is a sliver above his career average(43.2%).

Just around 10 days into the season, he crossed the 11,000 point mark when he scored 42 points against Miami Heat, and eventually, passed Terry Porter for the third position on the all-time Blazers scoring list recently when he dropped 23 points in another blowout loss to GSW. During the historic week, he also leapfrogged Damon Stoudamire for third place on the Blazers' all-time assist list as well.

The most impressive part of Dame's feat was he took the fewest games in doing so in comparison to the greats he passed on his way up.

Currently, he's scoring 26.2 points per game(8th in the league) and is shooting 43.4% from the field this season, fouling just 1.5 times a game(career low).

One of his highlight performances has come against the Wizards when he dropped 40 points in D.C to snap a two-game losing streak.
