At just 25 years old, Damian Lillard has already earned an NBA Rookie of the Year award, two trips to the NBA All-Star Game and just this past summer became the face of the Portland Trail Blazers franchise after signing a five-year contract extension to remain in Rip City through the 2020-21 season. And that's just the on-court side of Lillard's public persona.

Add on top of that a contract that makes him one of the primary faces of adidas Basketball, a budding rap career and national endorsement deals with Spalding and JBL Audio, and it's hard to argue that Lillard isn't one of the NBA's brightest young stars after just three years in the league.

Forbes Magazine has taken notice, naming Lillard to its '30 Under 30' list of the top personalities in the sports world:

"Lillard wears the number zero as an "O" for his hometown Oakland, California, and he was drafted sixth overall by the Portland Trail Blazers. He quickly added NBA Rookie of the Year, Two-Time All-Star and a $100 million deal with Adidas to his young yet impressive resume."

Selected by a panel of New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and Boston Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs, Lillard joins Golden State's Stephen Curry and Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook as the only NBA players on the list. What's more, Curry and Westbrook are in their seventh and eighth seasons as pros, respectively, while Lillard is only in his fourth season as an NBA player.
