Dame Dolla, as Lillard goes by in the hip hop world, is seemingly always possessed by a siege mentality of 'me against the world' whenever he steps on the hardwood. It is for that reason that he's become such a successful player, the franchise cornerstone for the Portland Trail Blazers, the reason why he got voted into the All-NBA First Team last season.

Lillard takes home $27.7 million of NBA wage money home in the 2018-19 season, and will add to that with his endorsement money coming chiefly from his Adidas sneaker line, adding up to $13 million all-in-all.
