Many people feel that Damian Lillard was this year’s biggest All Star snub as he’s playing the best basketball of his career this season and hoping to lead the Portland Trailblazers to the playoffs with a completely revamped team.
In his first game after the All Star break the Blazers went head to head against the Warriors and Lillard outperformed superstar Stephen Curry as he lead the Blazers to a blowout win of 137-105 and posted a career-high 51 points to go along with seven assists and six steals. He’s the first Blazer to to post 30+ points in four-straight games since Clyde Drexler and the first player in NBA history to hit 150+ threes in his first four seasons. Even though he didn’t get the All Star recognition he deserves, Dame still knows that he’s still an elite player in this league and doesn’t need anyone’s assurance.
“I don’t need validation – they’ve seen what I can do out there,” Dame explained. “As a man, I’ve grown to rise above it all and block out the noise. I’ll keep pushing, keep working and soon enough they’ll wake up.”
In honor of this adidas has created the adidas D Lillard 2 Static that features white and black threads that deliver a fuzzing static effect along the upper along with additional black detailing and Oak Print accents on the heel cap and lace lock.
The adidas D Lillard 2 Static is a symbol of Dame’s motivation to drown out the noise and reflects his unrelenting focus. Purchase your pair beginning on February 27th at Footlocker, Eastbay and adidas.com for $105.
Author’s Take
The simple black and white colorway on this adidas D Lillard 2 is a good look. The fuzz static on the upper sort of gives them a Winter look but at the same time achieves the “static” look they were hoping for.
