<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 2012 <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"> </h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Damian Lillard’s early life</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">Damian Lillard’s wife and children</h2>
Kay’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 Kay’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"> Damian Lillard’s Net Worth 2024</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.

[caption id="attachment_2292929" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2292929 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-10-02T221152Z_648163935_MT1USATODAY21555523_RTRMADP_3_NBA-MILWUAKEE-BUCKS-MEDIA-DAY.jpg" alt="Damian Lillard" width="1920" height="1280" /> Oct 2, 2023; Milwaukee, WI, USA; Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (0).

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">Damian Lillard’s Career timeline</h2>
&nbsp;

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.

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.

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">Damian Lillard’s contracts</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 whopping <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">Damian Lillard’s partnerships and endorsements </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">Damian Lillard’s investments</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.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Damian Lillard's charity and foundation</h2>
&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">Damian Lillard’s Shoe Deal</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">Damian Lillard’s House</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">Damian Lillard’s rings </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"> Damian Lillard’s Car Collection</h2>
If we are talking about Dame’s luxury and Lifestyle, it’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.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Who is Giannis Antetokounmpo?</h2>
Giannis Antetokounmpo or the "Greek Freak" is one of those names that have spurred the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_self" rel="noopener">NBA</a> circuit in recent times. Born in Greece to Nigerian parents, Antetokounmpo began playing basketball for the youth teams of Filathlitikos, eventually playing for their senior team. Following this, the power forward declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft in 2013, where Antetokounmpo was drafted with the 15th overall pick by the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Milwaukee Bucks</a>, a team he has been playing for since then. He wears the No. 34 jersey.

Over his career, Antetokounmpo has been an NBA All-Star seven times. Giannis also won two successive MVP trophies in 2019 and 2020 to solidify his status as a star in the league. After multiple seasons of being heavily criticized for his failure to win a title, the power forward silenced his critics winning his first championship and Final MVP in 2021. In the 2023-24 season, he is continuing his top form, with the Bucks now a force to be reckoned with in the East.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Giannis Antetokounmpo's early life </h2>
Born in Athens to Nigerian immigrant parents, Charles and Veronica Antetokounmpo, in 1994, Giannis Antetokounmpo grew up in a tough environment, with his family struggling to afford the basics. He started playing basketball around age 7, finding an escape and a passion for the sport. By his mid-teens, he had left school to focus on helping provide for his family, taking odd jobs around the city.

Basketball became more than just a game for the young athlete – it was, perhaps, an opening for a better life. That once far-off dream, however, was soon realized, with Antetokounmpo's first-round selection in the 2013 NBA draft.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife and children</h2>
Giannis Antetokounmpo fathers three children with his fiancee Mariah Riddlesprigger: his two sons Liam, 4, and Maverick Shai, 2, and his new-born daughter Eva Brooke. He has four brothers, Francis, Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex. Two of his siblings are contemporaries in the league, with Kostas securing a championship in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers and Thanasis with the Bucks in 2021.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Giannis Antetokounmpo's career timeline</h2>
Drafted 15th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2013 NBA draft, Antetokounmpo was named to the NBA All-Rookie second team in his first season. Over the next few years, he quickly exceeded expectations, growing into a versatile scorer, lockdown defender, and facilitator all in an athletic 6’11” frame.

He broke out in his third season, averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game and earning the Most Improved Player award. In the 2019-20 season, the Greek had another one of his finer campaigns, putting up 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists to lead the Bucks to their best-ever record in the NBA. (56-17). 

In 2021, Giannis delivered on his promise by spearheading the Bucks to the NBA title and earning a Finals MVP title in the process. He then went on to sign one of the largest contracts in NBA history, a 5-year $228 million extension with the Bucks.

<h2>Inception: The Reindeer throws the league off-balance</h2>
Milwaukee Bucks is a franchise that operates from the city of Milwaukee, which is in the state of Wisconsin. Its home floor is the Fiserv Forum which opened in 2018 via public funding. It is a part of the Central Division that also features the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers, and the Detroit Pistons. The franchise has been operational since 1968 and played its first NBA game in October of that year. Before the following season, because of a grueling 27-55 record, they earned the right to the first pick following a coin flip.?

On the stake was Lew Alcindor(now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), a transcendental talent who was deemed way too good for the NCAA. After winning the coin flip, the budding ABA?s New York Nets challenged them in a bidding war to bring Alcindor. But, the Bucks succeeded in bringing him into the fold. And just in his second year and the franchise?s third season, they claimed their first NBA Championship. Therefore, Milwaukee Bucks is the first expansion franchise that win a title within the first three years of its existence. Since then, it has won one more title. It happened in 2021, when Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton made one of the most brilliant runs in the history of the game. They beat the Suns in six games during the championship round.?
