From the Moda Center faithful who knew that every critical possession in a close game would ultimately flow through the player from East Oakland who had come to define the franchise for over a decade, to the opposing coaches who designed their entire closing strategies around eliminating his shot creation opportunities, Lillard's impact on the competitive landscape of the Western Conference was felt in every fourth quarter of every important game he played. This 2012-13 Panini Select #150 Rookie RC, graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, is the document from before all of those moments — the first official Select rookie card of one of the most decorated closers in NBA history.

Overlooked in high school recruiting, Lillard went to Weber State University in the Big Sky Conference — not the typical path to NBA stardom — and proceeded to transform that relative obscurity into one of the most compelling drafts stories of the 2012 class.

His four college seasons at Weber State produced back-to-back Big Sky Player of the Year awards and a statistical dominance that translated immediately to the NBA level.

His run in Portland represents one of the sport's great player-city relationships, and his Select rookie card is the physical document of where that relationship began.
