Dame and D-Rose both won Rookie of the Year, both are slashing point guards who jumped from the teens to over 20ppg in their second seasons, and the way things are going this year, both will have helped their teams (both in red, black and white, by the way) return to the playoffs. Lillard hasn’t quite ascended to that signature level just yet, but he’s approaching elite superstar status and this adidas Crazy 8 PE dropping on Friday in Portland is the latest proof.
