It was a one-minute ad that only created more mystique to the popular Reebok shoes from the exciting, Hip-Hop-savvy NBA superstar. In 2020, Damian Lillard is just that. A more prolific rapper than Iverson, the Portland Trailblazer is also hopeful of getting a championship ring (just as A.I. was around 2001). For his Adidas-backed Dame 6 sneaker, he taps Pusha-T for another one-minute spot, with bouncing ball-inspired production (courtesy of Pharrell Williams), and hard driving-bars. Pusha Ton also appears in the video, alongside Dame D.O.L.L.A.
