MANILA, Philippines – Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard will be in Manila from June 14-15 as part of his Summer Tour 2016, Adidas announced on Thursday, June 2.
The former Rookie of the Year and All-Star will showcase his new shoe, the D Lillard 2, per the press release, and will “hit the streets of Manila.”
Lillard becomes the latest NBA star brought to the country by Adidas, following the likes of Derrick Rose and, just last year, Ricky Rubio.
Rubio last year held a press conference at the Bonifacio Global City branch of Adidas and visited Intramuros.
Lillard just finished his best NBA season yet with the Trail Blazers, averaging 25.1 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.0 rebounds a game. Despite losing LaMarcus Aldridge, Portland advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs where they fell to the Golden State Warriors in 5 games. – Rappler.com
