Dame's First Commercial......

[Shooter]

I'm happy that Lillard got a commercial, but boy it's a real snooze. All he does is stand there and smile for the camera. Let's hope he gets to do something a little more exciting for his next spot.

Seriously. WTH does "8-bit" mean?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Seriously. WTH does "8-bit" mean?

It's a video games/computer term... Has to do with the power/complexity of the computer chip running the game, but mostly with how the graphics looked in each era. To use examples, Super Mario Bros (the first one on the Nintendo) was 8-bit... blocky graphics, very 80's looking. Pac-Man is 8-bit. The Super Nintendo was 16-bit, the Playstation 32-bit, Playstation 2 64-bit, etc... After a while, it stopped being used to describe consoles like the XBox 360 or Playstation 3, but it still holds for old school games/graphics.

Shit, even The HCP knows what that means!

You're wrong it's not a cereal brand.

I know that, I guess what I'm asking is how the heck it applies to Lilliard?

He's old school style.

Retro, old school hardcore 80's style. Rocking the Adidas Run DMC style

So, the full commercial has Lillard, along with Von Miller and Iman Shumpert. Not the most distinguished company. I am decidedly less pleased.

Horrible commercial!

 

[illmatic99]

Should switch to Nike. Better kicks, and so much better ads.

Adidas usually pays the smaller market athletes much better. Remember we are Portland. Once Lillard becomes a national icon; Nike will tender an offer he can't refuse!

 

[THE HCP]

Nevermind.........

 

[magnifier661]

Horrible commercial!

You jealous cause Adidas is more hipster than Nike!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Haterzz gon' hate.

At least it ain't Von Wafer, lol...

But I concur, terrible commercial. But Dame kills in it!

What's funny is that even as I was typing Miller, I was thinking Wafer, which was really bugging me. Now I'm not as annoyed anymore--Von Miller's a legit stud, and a potential superstar like Lillard is. Shumpert is the one in that commercial who really doesn't belong, IMO.

Who's the last Blazer who was on a box of Wheaties?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Who's the last Blazer who was on a box of Wheaties?

Probably Clyde in '92. I have two of them.

 

[jlprk]

You need some milk or something? Sugar costs more now, though. Better wait.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

At least there's a girl looking at Damian like she wants to fuck

I've never eaten Wheaties, and I certainly don't intend to start with some that are over 20 years old. Although I do kind of wonder how well they hold up over time...

 

[jlprk]

They're just fine. Trust this chiseled body you see before you.

Agreed Nike shoes are better, but Addidas is more fashionably innovative. Good fit for Dame. Then again many people don't like innovation.

"Looks like someone had a Shamrock Shake and threw up on them," ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said on the live ESPN broadcast.

The trophy-wives sitting courtside next to rich old bastards can't take their eyes off him, especially when he busts a three in the opposing crowds face and then sits down on the bench cool as $hit. Watch their eyes follow.

My niece thinks he's sexy as shit

man lillard isnt much of an actor...hes got crazy game, but the kid has zero swag on camera thus far imo

 

[handiman]

Very stoic. He'll need to learn to be more expressive, but I'm sure he's already studying film!

All Day I dream about, Scoring?

Aside from not having Lillard's shooting ability, Rose and Lillard are mirror images of each other and already, Lillard has the respect of the one-time NBA's Most Valuable Player.
“He (Lillard) is a really good player,” Rose told CSNNW.com. “I'm impressed. The things he has done this year are incredible and he's only going to continue to get better. I really like his game and I really like him being that he's with adidas.”

Prior to the Portland Trail Blazer defeating the Bulls 99-89, Head Coach Tom Thibodeau elaborated on the likeness of the two young points guards.
“Yeah, from the standpoint both guys let their game do the talking,” Thibodeau said. “So that part is very similar.”
Lillard doesn't like to be compared to players, choosing to create his own image. But even he admits there are similarities with Rose.
“We go about our approach the same way,” Lillard said. It's natural. We're both quiet. I'm always in my own element. I'm not trying to be what other guys are. I'm in control and comfortable and he seems the same way. Other than him being arguably the best point guard in the league, I think we're the same in a lot of ways.”
