There is style and then there is style.

Exhibit A: Last night's NBA playoff game between the Portland Trailblazers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Game tied with seconds left in a series Portland led three-games-to-one.

Guard Damian Lillard sinks a three-pointer from near half court, then waves "bye bye" to the Oklahoma City bench.

Observe.

It's the work of "an insane genius," Deadspin said.

Lillard ended his night with 50 points.
