After a rocky start in the Bucks, ‘Dametime’ has finally begun ticking in Milwaukee. Damian Lillard [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/damian-lillard/] has been consistently contributing towards wins and the Bucks are the third seed in the Eastern Conference. In their latest outing against the Mavericks, Dame came through big time, winning it for Milwaukee. Despite a 39-point effort from Kyrie Irving, the Mavs fell short and Freak time won it. However, recently Damian Lillard reacted to another fan favorite’s stunt on social media. DAMIAN LILLARD REACTS TO SNOOP DOGG’S ANTICS Recently Dame has taken to social media shocked by the antics of another celebrity. In his recent Instagram post, he shared a clip that appears to be an advertisement featuring Hip-Hop legend Snoop Dogg. Snoop appears to be saying, “I have an announcement, I am giving up smoke.” However, it was not the smoke you would generally associate with the Dogfather. It was actually a commercial for a stove! Dame smelled something fishy from a mile away, so he shared the ad in his story, writing [https://instagram.com/stories/damianlillard/3240345945073934140?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=MzY1NDJmNzMyNQ==], ” When I saw “smoke” instead of “smoking” I know something was up.” Damian Lillard appears to be in good spirits after the victory over the Mavs, as it could very well be an indicator of their future. Even though it’s hard to predict any potential winners. WILL MAVS AND THE BUCKS FACE OFF IN THE FINALS? At this early stage of the season, predicting the NBA Finals participants is challenging. However, given tonight’s display and the teams’ overall performance, Milwaukee and Dallas could be contenders.

Despite the challenges ahead, if they maintain their current form, the NBA might see an exciting showdown in this year’s Finals. What are your predictions for the same?

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Damian Lillard?</h2>
Damian Lillard is a sharpshooting Point Guard for the Milwaukee Bucks. He came through the ranks, playing college basketball for the Weber State Wildcats, before becoming the sixth overall pick in the 2012Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-season-preview/" target="_self" rel="noopener">NBA</a> draft. He played his first 11 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers. During the 2023 Free Agency, however, he requested a trade to the Heat after years of playoff disappointment. The Trail Blazers' ownership decided to ship him to the Milwaukee Bucks instead in a blockbuster three-team deal. He will now play alongside two-time MVP and one-time champion Giannis Antetokounmpo.

He has received seven NBA All-Star selections, which makes him one of only two players in Trail Blazers franchise history to become a six-time All-Star. Only Clyde Drexler, with ten selections, finished ahead of him.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â </b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Damian Lillardâ€™s early life</b></h2>
Born and raised in Oakland, California, in 1990, Damian Lillard hails from a close-knit family. His parents, Houston Lillard Sr. and Gina Johnson provided him with a supportive upbringing. Lillard attended Oakland High School, where he honed his basketball skills and began to make a name for himself in the sport. Alongside his siblings, La'Nae Lillard and Houston Lillard Sr., Damian navigated his educational journey with determination, eventually earning a scholarship to Weber State University. This strong foundation laid the groundwork for his future success both on and off the basketball court.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Damian Lillardâ€™s wife and children</b></h2>
Kayâ€™la Hanson, Damian Lillard's spouse, is an entrepreneur and co-owner of Dipped Nails in Portland, alongside her business partner Brittney Coleman. Their paths first crossed during their time as students at Weber State University. After a decade of dating, they married in 2021 and welcomed three children together. However, recent reports indicate that the couple has chosen to part ways, with Damian Lillard filing for divorce in October 2023, citing relationship incompatibility as the reason.

Damian Lillard and Kayâ€™la Hanson are parents to three children. Their eldest, Damien Jr., was born on March 29, 2018. Following him, the couple welcomed twins, a daughter named Kali Emma Lillard and a son named Kalii Laheem Lillard, on January 21, 2021.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Damian Lillardâ€™s Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
&nbsp;

According to recent reports, Damian Lillard's estimated net worth stands at approximately $100 million. However, predicting his exact worth for 2023 is challenging, as various factors influence it, such as his performance on the basketball court, off-court endorsements, and business ventures.

One significant determinant of Lillard's net worth is his contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, which extends through the 2024-25 NBA season and pays him over $45 million annually. If he maintains his high level of performance and secures another substantial contract extension in 2025, his net worth could see a substantial increase.

Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Additionally, Lillard's business ventures and endorsement deals play a crucial role in shaping his net worth. His current four-year contract extension is set to earn him a total of $176 million by 2025, translating to an average salary of $44 million per year or $3.6 million per month, a considerable leap from his rookie deal worth $13 million over four years.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Damian Lillardâ€™s Career timeline</b></h2>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400">In January 2023, Lillard became just the fifth player in NBA history to score 60 points at least four times in the regular season, joining a group that includes Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, James Harden, and Michael Jordan.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">During the All-Star Weekend of 2023, Lillard won the Three-Point Contest and scored the game-winning 3-pointer in the 2023 All-Star Game, giving Team Giannis their first (and only) All-Star Game victory against Team LeBron.</span>

Lillard left Portland as the Blazers' all-time leading scorer with 19,376 points, surpassing Clyde Drexler in 2022. He was also the franchise leader in 3-pointers made, free throws made, and scoring average. In the 750+ games and 11 seasons Damian Lillard has played, he has averaged 25.2 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game.

He had his career-best performance during the 2022-23 season. The sharpshooter averaged a career-high 32.2 points per game. Apart from that, he collected 7.3 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game. However, he played in 58 games, sitting out the last month for the 13th-placed Trail Blazers.

During the Playoffs, the Guard has averaged 25.7 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game in 61 games. He has hit numerous clutch shots, including iconic shots against the Rockets and the Clippers, to win the series. He last appeared in a Postseason during the 2020-21 season and hoarded a career-best 34.3 points, 10.2 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game

&nbsp;
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Damian Lillardâ€™s contracts</b></h2>
Lillard has good earnings from his contracts with the Trail Blazers. In 2014, he signed a contract with the Portland Trail Blazers worth $3.202 million annually for four years.

In 2019, it was revealed that Damian had agreed to a new "Supermax" contract with the Trail Blazers. Last season, Lillard earned a whoppingÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/portland-trail-blazers/damian-lillard-10814/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$42,492,492</a>.

As a member of the Bucks now, he is set to earn $45,640,084 next season. In July 2022, Lillard agreed to a two-year extension through the 2026-27 season worth $225 million. He will make $59 million in 2025-26 and then about $63 million the next year.

Damian Lillard inked a four-year contract worth $176,265,152 with the Portland Trail Blazers, guaranteeing the full amount. This deal boasted an annual average salary of $44,066,288. For the 2023-24 season, Lillard's base salary stood at $45,640,084, carrying a corresponding cap hit and dead cap value. This contract was classified as a Designated Veteran Extension, entitling him to 35% of the Cap. Originally reported as a $196 million deal, adjustments were made due to cap constraints. Additionally, Lillard holds a player option for the 2024-25 season, with a deadline for exercise set on June 24, 2026, which he will exercise through an extension.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Damian Lillardâ€™s partnerships and endorsementsÂ </b></h2>
Endorsement deals are a major highlight for players like Damian Lillard. Brands like Adidas and Hulu have already secured lucrative partnerships with him, and there's potential for more collaborations to come. Lillard's decade-long deal with Adidas, reportedly exceeding $100 million, has cemented his status in the endorsement world, with his shoe line, the Adidas Dame, under his belt. Among his other notable endorsements are Spalding, Panini, Foot Locker, JBL, and Moda Health. However, Lillard's financial acumen extends beyond endorsements.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Damian Lillardâ€™s investments</b></h2>
He's made strategic investments, particularly in technology and real estate. In 2018, his investment in Biofreeze, a provider of pain relief products for athletes, paid off handsomely when the brand was acquired by Performance Health.

Real estate also features prominently in Lillard's investment portfolio, with properties scattered across the United States, including residences in Portland and California. These investments have proven astute, given the ongoing rise in property values nationwide.

Moreover, Lillard has ventured into the media landscape, securing a minor stake in PlayersTV, a streaming platform dedicated to athlete-centric content. This diversified approach to income generation underscores Lillard's understanding of the importance of building multiple revenue streams beyond his basketball earnings alone.

&nbsp;

Damian Lillard's impact as a conscientious individual transcends the boundaries of the basketball court through his philanthropic efforts. The RESPECT program, spearheaded by Lillard, aims to inspire and motivate young individuals to strive for excellence and become diligent achievers. Through the Lillard Foundation, Damian emphasizes the significance of education and empowers young minds to recognize their role as future decision-makers. His community outreach and social initiatives have not only inspired countless young individuals, teachers, and social workers but have also served as a source of inspiration for Lillard himself, as he witnessed their dedication and hard work.

&nbsp;
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Damian Lillardâ€™s Shoe Deal</b></h2>
Damian Lillard's long-standing partnership with Adidas appears to be drawing to a close, as indicated by the release of Adidas' Fall/Winter 2024 basketball priorities deck, which notably omitted the new Milwaukee Bucks guard.

According to Instagram user yuanchengxin1, both Lillard and Derrick Rose are among the athletes who will not be continuing their collaboration with Adidas. Instead, the spotlight shifts to Anthony Edwards, Trae Young, Donovan Mitchell, and James Harden for the new basketball sneaker line.

Lillard's most recent release with Adidas, the Dame 8 EXTPLY, hit the market, with its predecessor, the Dame 8, debuting in December 2021. However, with no reported contract extension or upcoming sneaker project in sight, and given that the typical industry standard of a maximum two-year gap between launches has passed, Lillard's future with Adidas remains uncertain.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Damian Lillardâ€™s House</b></h2>
Dame Lillard used to reside in Lake Oswego, Oregon, a town situated near Downtown Portland. His primary residence comprised five bedrooms and twelve bathrooms, boasting amenities like a cabana, a mini swimming pool, a tennis court, a fitness center, and a state-of-the-art theater room. In total, the property spanned 15,000 square feet of space and was valued at a staggering $6,650,000. This was up for sale with his move to the Bucks and Dame has since been residing in Milwaukee.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Damian Lillardâ€™s ringsÂ </b></h2>
Damian Lillard was not able to win any rings in Portland and that's primarily why he requested a trade form there. Lillard is among a very unfortunate club of players along with players like Charles Barkley to have ever won a ring.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Damian Lillardâ€™s Car Collection</b></h2>
If we are talking about Dameâ€™s luxury and Lifestyle, itâ€™s impossible not to talk about his obsession with the best automobiles. The car that Dame constantly drives is his much-adored Bentley Bentayga SUV. Other cars in his collection are the Bentley Continental GT and the Cadillac Escalade. All in all his luxury vehicles can be valued at about about $646K.

Brands like Adidas and Hulu have already secured lucrative partnerships with him, and there&#8217;s potential for more collaborations to come. Lillard&#8217;s decade-long deal with Adidas, reportedly exceeding $100 million, has cemented his status in the endorsement world, with his shoe line, the Adidas Dame, under his belt. Among his other notable endorsements are Spalding, Panini, Foot Locker, JBL, and Moda Health. However, Lillard&#8217;s financial acumen extends beyond endorsements. Damian Lillardâ€™s investments He&#8217;s made strategic investments, particularly in technology and real estate. In 2018, his investment in Biofreeze, a provider of pain relief products for athletes, paid off handsomely when the brand was acquired by Performance Health. Real estate also features prominently in Lillard&#8217;s investment portfolio, with properties scattered across the United States, including residences in Portland and California. These investments have proven astute, given the ongoing rise in property values nationwide. Moreover, Lillard has ventured into the media landscape, securing a minor stake in PlayersTV, a streaming platform dedicated to athlete-centric content.

The RESPECT program, spearheaded by Lillard, aims to inspire and motivate young individuals to strive for excellence and become diligent achievers. Through the Lillard Foundation, Damian emphasizes the significance of education and empowers young minds to recognize their role as future decision-makers. His community outreach and social initiatives have not only inspired countless young individuals, teachers, and social workers but have also served as a source of inspiration for Lillard himself, as he witnessed their dedication and hard work. &nbsp; Damian Lillardâ€™s Shoe Deal Damian Lillard&#8217;s long-standing partnership with Adidas appears to be drawing to a close, as indicated by the release of Adidas&#8217; Fall/Winter 2024 basketball priorities deck, which notably omitted the new Milwaukee Bucks guard. According to Instagram user yuanchengxin1, both Lillard and Derrick Rose are among the athletes who will not be continuing their collaboration with Adidas. Instead, the spotlight shifts to Anthony Edwards, Trae Young, Donovan Mitchell, and James Harden for the new basketball sneaker line. Lillard&#8217;s most recent release with Adidas, the Dame 8 EXTPLY, hit the market, with its predecessor, the Dame 8, debuting in December 2021. However, with no reported contract extension or upcoming sneaker project in sight, and given that the typical industry standard of a maximum two-year gap between launches has passed, Lillard&#8217;s future with Adidas remains uncertain. Damian Lillardâ€™s House Dame Lillard used to reside in Lake Oswego, Oregon, a town situated near Downtown Portland. His primary residence comprised five bedrooms and twelve bathrooms, boasting amenities like a cabana, a mini swimming pool, a tennis court, a fitness center, and a state-of-the-art theater room. In total, the property spanned 15,000 square feet of space and was valued at a staggering $6,650,000. This was up for sale with his move to the Bucks and Dame has since been residing in Milwaukee. Damian Lillardâ€™s ringsÂ  Damian Lillard was not able to win any rings in Portland and that&#8217;s primarily why he requested a trade form there. Lillard is among a very unfortunate club of players along with players like Charles Barkley to have ever won a ring. Â Damian Lillardâ€™s Car Collection If we are talking about Dameâ€™s luxury and Lifestyle, itâ€™s impossible not to talk about his obsession with the best automobiles. The car that Dame constantly drives is his much-adored Bentley Bentayga SUV. Other cars in his collection are the Bentley Continental GT and the Cadillac Escalade. All in all his luxury vehicles can be valued at about about $646K. &nbsp; Damian Lillard&#8217;s Social Media Accounts  Instagram @damianlillard  Twitter @Dame_Lillard  Facebook Damian Lillard  Website N/A  &nbsp;  Personal Information:  Full Name Damian Lamonte Ollie Lillard Sr.  Popular Name Damian Lillard  Date of Birth 15th July, 1990  Birth Place Oakland, California, U.S.  Age 33  Height 6 feet 2 inches  Weight 195 lb  Parents Houston Lillard Sr. (Father) Gina Johnson  Siblings Lanae Lillard (Sister) Houston Lillard (Brother)  Nationality American  Ethnicity African-American  Net Worth $100 Million  Salary $45.6 Million  Spouse Kay&#8217;la Hanson (Ex-Wife)  Relationship/Marital Status Divorced  Children 3  Profession Basketball Player  Team Milwaukee Bucks  Rings 0   .
