Damian Lillard bizarrely designs new shoe inspired by a heckler he humbled in Orlando

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard certainly knows how to take care of hecklers who try to trash-talk with him. During the game against Orlando Magic, one of the fans tried to do the trash-talking to disrupt Lillard’s game, but he had no idea that his decision will backfire big time. Lillard exploded in the second half scoring 34 points. His outburst set a Trail Blazers record for points scored during a half and helped the team defeat the Orlando Magic 124-114. Inspired by the incident that occurred in Orlando, the Trail Blazers star is all set to launch signature shoes called 'Hecklers'. The shoe was inspired by a fan who was shouting at Lillard during a game in Orlando. The shoe launch is slated to take place in January.
