Damian Lamonte Ollie Lillard Sr. (born July 15, 1990[1]) is an American professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Regarded for his big shots in the clutch, he has been nicknamed "Dame Time". He played college basketball for the Weber State Wildcats and earned third-team All-American honors in 2012. He was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the sixth overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, and was named the NBA Rookie of the Year for the 2012–13 season. With the team, he made seven NBA All-Star selections, seven All-NBA Team selections, and is the franchise's all-time leading scorer.

In 2021, Lillard won a gold medal for the U.S. Olympic team in the 2020 Summer Olympics. That same year, he was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.[2] In 2023, after a trade request, he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks. Off the court, Lillard is also a rapper, under the stage name Dame D.O.L.L.A. He released his first studio album, The Letter O (2016), which charted on the Billboard 200, while his second and third albums, Confirmed (2017) and Big D.O.L.L.A. (2019), placed on the indie charts.
