 The Portland Trail Blazers have one of the best backcourts in the NBA with the duo of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. The McCollum-Lillard duo has led the Blazers to a record 26 wins and 18 losses and are the sixth seed in the Western Conference. While Lillard has continued to be in an amazing form, CJ McCollum has truly stepped up this season. The 29-year-old is having a career-high season averaging [https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/cj-mccollum-stats-before-injury] 24.4 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game. BLAZERS’ CJ MCCOLLUM OPENS UP ON ALL-STAR SNUB Despite averaging more than 20 points per game for six seasons now, it is shocking to see a player of McCollum’s caliber not making a single All-Star appearance till now. Although one might argue that the Western Conference is stacked with talented guards, McCollum deserves at least 2 All-Star appearances. But the 29-year-old seems unbothered by the same. After a fantastic comeback win against the Heat where he scored a whopping 35 points [https://www.espn.in/nba/game?gameId=401307467], McCollum made an appearance on Inside the NBA. There. the 2016 MIP opened on his relationship with Damian Lillard. CJ said, “I want him to be the best version of himself and that means sometimes I might have it going, but he’s a closer. Ball was in his hands down the stretch, I had no problem with it win or lose. I understand the work he puts in, he understands the work I put in, and I think we continue to empower each other.” The 29-year-old later opened up on the number of All-Star snubs he has had over the years and why he is unphased by the same. McCollum said, “In terms of the all-star game and stuff like that man, I just work extremely hard and I don’t need validation from outsiders. I don’t need validation from other people because I know what I have and what I bring to the table so if I never make an All-Star Game, I won’t be sad about it because I know I’m nice and I know a lot of people respect my game.” With CJ taking a massive step up, the Blazers might be in the driver’s seat for becoming a dark-horse contender. Can the Blazers win the NBA title with the trio of Norman Powell, Damian Lillard [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/damian-lillard/], and CJ McCollum? 

Trail Blazers' guard CJ McCollum recently evealed why he will remain unbothered
if he doesn't make it to the All-Star team.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Portland Trail Blazers 2021: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Portland Trail Blazers compete in the NBA as part of the Northwest Division in the Western Conference. The Blazers are an incredibly popular franchise but have never reached the finals since 1992.?

The Trail Blazers? logo has always been admired by fans worldwide. They are sticking to the same design that came into existence during the team?s inception. The ?pinwheel? logo is a graphic representation of two basketball teams lined up against each other.?

<img class="size-full wp-image-423573 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201026141744/TrailBlazers.svg.png" alt="" width="1200" height="1025" />

As for their home arena, the Blazers have been hosting games at the Moda Center since 1995. The stadium is designed for multi-purpose use and teams like the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League and other sports franchises use the arena for their games.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who owns the Portland Trail Blazers??</h2>
The late Paul Allen bought the Portland Trail Blazers for $70 million in 1988 and began implementing his vision on the franchise. He was instrumental in the construction of the Moda Center and revitalizing the franchise.?

After Paul Allen?s death in 2018, his sister Jody took control of the Blazers and has been the controlling owner since. Jody Allen inherited a lot of fortunes that her brother left behind, which includes Seattle Seahawks of the NFL and Seattle Sounders of the MLS.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Head Coach and Top Executives</h2>
Terry Stotts has been serving as the Head Coach of the Blazers since 2011. Stotts played professional basketball in Europe, after which he turned towards coaching. The Iowa native worked as the HC with the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks before taking up the Blazers job.?

Moreover, Terry Stotts was an assistant coach of the Dallas Mavericks when they won the 2011 NBA championship. He recorded less than 50% of win percentages in his previous HC stints, but his Blazers journey is a story on the rise.?

Coming to the line of executives, the Blazers have awarded the role of General Manager and President of Basketball Operations to the same person. After being hired as the GM in 2012, Neil Olshey quickly rose up the ranks and took over as the <a href="https://www.nba.com/blazers/neil-olshey" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">President</a> of Basketball Operations in 2015.?

Olshey has been an influential figure in the organization ever since his being appointed as the GM. He is the mastermind behind drafting Damian Lillard, who went down as the fourth unanimous Rookie of the Year in history.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">History</h2>
The Portland Trail Blazers entered the NBA as an expansion team in 1970. Just like any other team, the Blazers too struggled to post winning records in their first few years. However, the team swiftly rose to the challenge when Bill Walton joined in 1974.?

Walton formed a formidable partnership with Maurice Lucas, and guard Lionel Hollins to post the team?s first winning record during the 1976-77 season (49-33). The Blazers made a deep playoff run the same year and reached the NBA finals.?

<img class="size-full wp-image-423578 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201026142005/blazers-1.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />

Due to their lack of experience, the Blazers were ousted in the first two finals games by the Philadelphia 76ers, but Portland fought back to seal the series by winning the next four. With this, the franchise registered its first NBA championship in 1977.?

After the title triumph, things looked bright for the franchise. They looked to be the flashy newcomers who were assuming control of the league. Successive postseason trips followed, which included two finals trips in three years.?

The Portland Trail Blazers stood out as one of the most prosperous teams in the 80s and the 90s, having made 20 successive trips to the playoffs from 1983 to 2003. The millennium decade, however, did not shine much light on the franchise.?

They hardly made the playoffs, and if they did, teams knocked them out in the first round. Moving forward to the 2010s, the Blazers saw the dawn of a new era - a team that pulled together young talents who were capable of guiding them to every bit of success.?

Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum were acquired by the Blazers through the NBA draft, and these two are still the cornerstones of the franchise. Fans are yearning for this duo to guide the team to championship glory.?

<img class="size-full wp-image-347545 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200820010219/gettyimages-1144404275-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1706" />
<h2 style="text-align: center">Portland Trail Blazers: Mascot and Uniforms</h2>
?Blaze the Trail Cat? is the <a href="https://www.nba.com/blazers/blaze" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">official mascot</a> of the Blazers.

The primary colors in the Blazers? uniforms are red, black, and white. The team has always been simple with their jersey designs, and these three colors predominantly feature in almost every edition of the Nike uniforms.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Team?s Sponsors</h2>
Performance Health (Biofreeze), a medical supply manufacturing company, is currently the main sponsor of the Blazers team. They also endorse their brand through jersey patches in the team?s uniform.?

Other sponsors of the Portland Trail Blazers <a href="https://sportskhabri.com/2020/09/24/portland-trail-blazers-complete-sponsors-list/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">include</a> Adidas, Toyota, First Tech Federal Credit Union, and a few other companies.?

CJ McCollum is a six-foot-three shooting guard who plays for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/portland-trail-blazers/">Portland Trail Blazers</a> in the NBA. McCollum was born on September 19, 1991, in Canton, Ohio. He was the 10th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.

[caption id="attachment_438525" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-438525" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1148122660.jpg" alt="CJ McCollum" width="1920" height="1280" /> PORTLAND, OR - MAY 9: CJ McCollum (3) of the Portland Trail Blazers licks his chops during the second quarter against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, May 9, 2019.

McCollum?s parents are Errick McCollum I and Kathy Andrews. He grew up in Ohio and attended GlenOak High School, where he started off as an undersized athlete. However, McCollum had a growth spurt and worked hard on his shooting skills to earn more acclaim.

Hard work paid off, and McCollum won the Gatorade Ohio High-School Player of the Year Award for averaging 29.3 points in his senior year. He then graduated high-school and played for Lehigh University, where he broke through with his talent.?

He won several accolades in his conference, including the MVP award.

<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.

[caption id="attachment_2625318" align="alignnone" width="8256"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2625318" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2024-02-04T042810Z_633403906_MT1USATODAY22441187_RTRMADP_3_NBA-MILWAUKEE-BUCKS-AT-DALLAS-MAVERICKS.jpg" alt="Damian Lillard" width="8256" height="5504" /> Feb 3, 2024; Dallas, Texas, USA; Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (0) exchanges words with a Dallas Mavericks fan at the American Airlines Center.

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.

&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.
