Damian Lillard is never bashful when it comes to interacting with his fans on social media. The Portland Trail Blazers star is a very active persona online, which leads to some hilarious star-to-fan interactions.
Lillard famously had a long-standing saga when he responded to a fan who claimed he had bet the equivalent of his house on Portland's regular season win total. Dame gave a 2-word guarantee, eventually coming through to beat the odds with a spirited run from his Blazers to end the season and win the bet.

Now this time, the Blazers star was on the receiving end of some flak from a fan. The issue? Damian Lillard's attire during the postgame press conference.
@Dame_Lillard why you wearing car carpet as a designer? @trailblazers pic.twitter.com/jvxJZHzTjQ

There's a good bet that Lillard's shirt is more expensive than what that poster would make in a month. But in all fairness, just because it's expensive, doesn't mean it really does look good. But the Blazers star took the ribbing in stride, responding in equal parts comedy and flex.
Cuz it’s a lamborghini carpet https://t.co/oCVJxzatyP

When a random person uses a Lamborghini-related clap back, it usually doesn't track. But when a multi-millionaire Blazers All-Star who probably owns an actual Lamborghini makes the same joke, it just fits a bit better.
Lillard had himself a defender in ESPN's Ariel Helwani, who also used it as an opportunity to flex his fashion trendiness. The Blazers star acknowledged him with reply that's absolutely nothing but still sounds kind of funny coming from Dame.
I believe that’s a top-notch Twenty piece, Dame. They don’t know fashion. Looks fantastic, if I do say so myself

Damian Lillard seems to be in good spirits after his Blazers dispatched the Denver Nuggets in Game 4. Keep rocking those fancy outfits, Dame!
