Damian Lillard will be present in two competitions of the Chicago All Star Weekend which will be held in two weeks: first he will participate in the Three-point Contest and then in the real All Star Game on Sunday evening.
The Portland Trail Blazers player will also have another role: in fact, as reported by Shams Charania, Lillard - or we should call him ''Dame D.O.L.L.A'' will perform on the United Center stage as a ''singer''.
Unique wrinkle for NBA All-Star Weekend: Portland's Damian Lillard will perform musically during Saturday night events in Chicago, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

In fact, even the most hardcore fans may not know that Lillard has been pursuing a rapper career for some time and that he has already released three albums, the last of which featuring the likes of Lil Wayne and Jeremih.
Lillard has even recently been the victim of a dissing by Shaquille O'Neal after claiming to be a better rapper than "The Diesel" himself, who released four albums between 1993 and 1998.The two exchanged jokes on Soundcloud that went viral but of course, as well as on the pitch, they both considered dissing a goliardic exchange.
At this point we would not be surprised if we saw Shaq go on stage with Lillard.
