Athletes for whatever reason enjoy cars, but usually crazy sports cars.
What they do like more than cars is making money. One way for players to keep their brand going long after they play is to sell cars. Damian Lillard is the latest athlete to slap his name on an auto dealership.
Lillard is now the co-owner of the Toyota dealership in McMinnville and according to a Toyota representative, “infused his style into the facility by overseeing the installation of custom Pop-A-Shot games, themed ping pong tables, autographed memorabilia and more.”
