Video: Damian Lillard Opts For Attitude Over Likeness With “Swingman” Double

After watching Andrew Wiggins’ Swingman make an epic error of preparation, Damian Lillard is ensuring his body double is far more committed to the project. In the latest spot for adidas’ NBA Swingman Jersey, the Portland Trail Blazers superstar chooses a model who takes character acting to whole ‘nother level.

The new adidas NBA Swingman Jerseys are designed with a premium mesh material and new name and number application that more closely replicate the authentic jerseys worn on-court by NBA players in both look and performance. The new jerseys feature a slimmer cut which offers a more tailored, stylish fit.
