Damian Lillard embarks on another exciting journey

After releasing singles like Cabo and Judgement Day through the summer, the build-up to his new album had been terrific. The tracks from Don DOLLA can now be accessed through Apple Music. 

He had another major announcement about his big commitment. The scoring phenom took to Instagram and informed his 10 million followers that his new shoe is going to drop on September 1.

He captioned his Insta Post as “#YKWTII ⌚️ 👟 #DAME8EXTPLY drops 9/1 #adidasBasketball

In the video, he released an inspirational advertisement pertaining to his Adidas deal. The video starts with Lillard boxing and then making a between-the-legs dribble and making a jumper. It details the rest of his workout, dominated by boxing. We see the Guard’s intense eyes and full concentration through the drills. 

While this plays, Lillard in a weighty voice narrates, “I came to peace with adversity just by experiencing it. If you never see adversity, then you’re probably not moving towards anything. When I was growing up, there was no being sheltered. I was in an environment where you had to survive in them. Nobody is going to be there to hold your hand through it. I feel like I was made to be resilient.”

After the narrative closes, the logo of Adidas flashes on the screen.

No holding back Dame

The amazing shooter hails from a poverty-stricken region in Oakland, California. Life is vulnerable in such sections. That is why he said, “there was no being sheltered”. Amidst these circumstances, he didn’t have an illustrious high school career. He was just a two-star recruit and signed with an obscure Weber State program. However, he kept grinding his way.

Therefore, he is well-equipped to deal with his current fuzzy situation. He has shown patience thus far and so has the Portland Trail Blazers that drafted him sixth in 2012. 

Will he don his Adidas shoes for the Miami Heat next season? Do share in the comments below.
