It was announced today that Lillard was selected to be the cover athlete for the video game NBA Live 15. He is the first Blazer to be on a major video game, and the second Blazer on a game at all, with the first being Brandon Roy on NBA 10: The Inside, which was a PSP exclusive.

I think that's pretty cool to be the first Trail Blazer to be on a major game

Thanks for posting this Brian. This is great. It seems like while some other younger players are receiving more acclaim, the powers that be at EA Sports, Adidas and other companies see that Damian is much much more marketable.
