Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard celebrated his 26th birthday in style, staging his first full-fledged live concert as his rapper persona Dame D.O.L.L.A. in Portland, Oregon, on Friday.
One of the many highlights of the concert at the Crystal Ballroom was having teammate C.J. McCollum and the New Orleans Pelicans' Tim Frazier join him onstage for the song "Soldier in the Game."

On Saturday, Lillard retweeted numerous fans who attended the concert. He also hinted that footage of the show could be part of the return of "License to Lillard," a series of YouTube videos he released during his rookie season that chronicled his journey to the NBA.
Shout out to @CrystalPortland for hosting my first concert. Entire staff was great! #DameDOLLA
