Damian Lillard’s Boldness Extends to Entrepreneurial Spirit

Damian Lillard might be the most versatile entrepreneur active in the NBA, not only scoring on the court but in music, business and supporting his community.

From humble beginnings in Oakland, California and a relatively under-the-radar four years at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, the 31-year-old is now one of the world’s biggest names in sports.

Lillard has led the Portland Trail Blazers to the playoffs eight straight years, missing the postseason just once — his rookie season. He earned Rookie of the Year in 2013, six NBA All-Star nods, one All-NBA First Team honor, four All-NBA Second Team selections and an All-NBA Third Team nomination.
