Lillard inks third richest shoe contract

[Pugz]

Damian Lillard is finalizing a new shoe contract with Adidas that is believed to be one of the richest in the NBA.

A person with knowledge of the contract said it is smaller only than that of Derrick Rose (reportedly $185 million over 13 years with Adidas) and LeBron James ($20 million annually).

Adidas would have had stiff competition if they waited any longer, as their window to have exclusive negotiating rights with his agent, Aaron Goodwin of Goodwin Sports Management, recently ended and Nike as well as the Jordan Brand were known to be very interested in luring Lillard away.

Yeah no kidding lol. He is a really good player, but isn't exactly a homerun hitter in terms of the name. Yet at aleast. 
 
That commercial with him and Barry Sanders, CWebb, and company is hilarious though.
