VIDEO: Damian Lillard Stars Foot Locker x adidas “No Rings” Commercial
Portland’s Damian Lillard reportedly signed for the third-largest shoe contract in the NBA yesterday.
His newest deal kept him with adidas and just a day after the announcement, Lillard got his own Foot Locker commercial with some other sports legends such as Barry Sanders, LaDanian Tomlinson, Chris Webber and Karl Malone.
Foot Locker might have the funniest sports commercials out right now, here is another one from earlier this year staring Houston’s James Harden (Portland’s first round opponent) and New Orleans’ Anthony Davis.
Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com writes that Lillard will also have his own signature shoe on the horizon:
Update: Adidas will put out the first Damian Lillard customized, signature basketball shoe early next year, we’re told.
