Damian Lillard's ice cold victory stare is now a meme
Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard stuck a dagger in the Oklahoma City Thunder with a series-clinching buzzer-beater on Tuesday night, and now, his victory stare is spreading far and wide across Twitter.
Lillard nailed a ridiculously deep three-pointer as time expired to win the game for Portland, 118-115, and send the Thunder home. The shot capped a 50 point night for Lillard, too, making his final goodbye wave to the Thunder all the more brutal.

But as Lillard and his teammates celebrated, he gave a TV camera a cold-blooded stare and nod combo that had NBA fans shook, including a few who referenced what is perhaps the most well-known cold stare meme.

The Blazers now await the winner of the San Antonio-Denver series as their next opponent and Lillard's chance to make his legend grow even more.
