Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has agreed to a lifetime contract extension with Adidas, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

As Lillard's deal with Adidas expired during last offseason, his representative, Aaron Goodwin of Goodwin Sports Management, has been negotiating a new deal with company officials.

Lillard starred alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo to help lead the Bucks to theNBA Cup championship on Tuesday night in Las Vegas. Lillard is averaging 25.7points, 7.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1 steal per game this season.

據消息人士週三向ESPN透露，密爾瓦基公鹿隊球星Damian Lillard已與Adidas達成一份終身合約的延長協議。

Lillard與Adidas的合約在上個休賽季結束時到期，其經紀人Aaron Goodwin，隸屬於Goodwin Sports Management一直在與Adidas公司高層洽談新的合約。

週二晚上，Lillard與Giannis Antetokounmpo聯手，幫助公鹿隊在拉斯維加斯贏得NBA CUP冠軍。本賽季，Lillard場均得到25.7分、7.5次助攻、4.5個籃板和1次抄截。

Lillard joins LeBron James and Kevin Durant (Nike) and Stephen Curry (Under Armour/Curry Brand) as active NBA players with lifetime shoe endorsement contracts. Goodwin also negotiatied the initial Nike deals for James and Durant.

The 34-year-old now will exceed $600 million in career salaries from his on-court and shoe contracts.

A member of the NBA's Top 75 greatest list and an eight-time All-Star, Lillard has been a member of Adidas from the moment he entered the league in 2012. Lillard, who played his first first 11 seasons with the Trail Blazers, has cemented himself as a staple in the Portland community, and through Adidas has many initiatives in his second home.

Adidas announced this year that it named the gymnasium court at the company'sheadquarters after Lillard.

Lillard加入LeBron James和Kevin Durant（Nike），以及Stephen Curry（Under Armour/Curry Brand）的行列，成為現役NBA球員中擁有終身球鞋代言合約的一員。Lillard的經紀人Aaron Goodwin此前也曾為James和Durant談判了最初的Nike合約。

現年34歲的Lillard，通過球場薪水和鞋類代言合約，職業生涯收入將超過6億美元。

作為NBA歷史75大巨星名單的一員以及八次入選全明星賽的球員，Lillard自2012年進入聯盟起就一直是Adidas的簽約運動員。Lillard在波特蘭拓荒者效力的前11個賽季中，不僅在球場上展現卓越表現，也在波特蘭社區扎下根基。他還通過與Adidas的合作，在他視為第二故鄉的波特蘭開展了許多公益計畫。

Adidas今年宣布，將公司總部的體育館球場以Lillard的名字命名。
