Twitter had thoughts on Damian Lillard’s NBA-Jam esque, possibly Hulu-inspired shoes

NBA Jam Turbo style shoes for Dame.

The Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers just played Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals (with the Warriors winning 114-111), and Portland star Damian Lillard broke out some lime green shoes that would make Slimer proud.

The shoes really stood out on HDTV, and drew plenty of tweets from viewers. One common suggestion on Twitter: were these shoes serving as an advertisement for Hulu, which Lillard has been a spokesman for?

And the shoes reminded many other people of the arcade classic NBA Jam.

I see @Dame_Lillard has the “NBA Jam Turbo” colorway on tonight. #NBAPlayoffs

And some even blamed the shoes for a turnover Lillard had in the final seconds of the loss:
