Damian Lillard Questions Fan for Trying to Sell Autographed Sneakers

Kyle NewportMar 24, 2015

When Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard takes the time to do something nice for his fans, he hopes they appreciate his generosity.

He gets a little salty when it turns out to be all about the cash. 

On Monday, Lillard went to a local Foot Locker and gave away 20 pairs of his signature shoe. A few hours later, a Facebook user posted on the Portland Sole Collector wall that he is looking to sell a pair of signed D Lillard 1 shoes that he received at the event.

The Facebook user priced the shoes at $250, which is $145 more than the sneakers are listed for on Adidas' website. (Obviously a signed pair of sneakers is worth more than a non-autographed pair.)

Well, word got back to Lillard, and he took to Twitter to call the guy out. The fan posted his response to Lillard's tweet on the group's Facebook page:

There's really nothing wrong with a fan selling autographed collectibles; it happens all the time. However, it sounds like Lillard would have preferred for the autographed (and free) sneakers to have gone to someone who would have cherished them.

In fact, Lillard confirmed this situation bothered him:
