Sportscard Radio Title: Beckett & Leaf Spread Fake News About Damian Lillard

Damian Lillard is a superstar in the NBA. He has over 1.4 million followers on Twitter, where he regularly interacts with fans via the social media platform.

Recently fans were sending Lillard links of items for sale on eBay – asking the NBA superstar if the signatures were real or fake.

In the tweet below, an eBay listing was shown to Lillard – to which he replied “Fake Signature”

The tweet Lillard replies to is “unavailable” because the seller of the item deleted the tweet. However here is a screen shot of the the tweet the seller, Joel Alpert of A_A_Autographs, deleted:

If Lillard giving his opinion on his own signature one time wasn’t enough – a fan asked Lillard a second time if the above pictured autograph was real. To which Lillard replied “That ain’t my signature”

John,

You can link to blogs and articles, quote excerpts in most cases and often an image or so can be posted under fair use, but posting an entire article is a violation of their copyright, unless the site says that people have their permission to post it elsewhere and that they are waiving any copyright protection. 

Please talk about it all your want. It's news. But please remove all but a few excerpts if you want to quote and an image.

Thanks

+1! Steve knows of what he speaks! I barely (rarely) even go near Fair Use!

done sorry

No problem, John! I don't expect you to know copyright law.

What you posted is perfect, thank you!

I don't know if Beckett got it right or wrong, but Lillard also accuses Leaf of selling fakes, which were items that were signed under supervision years ago. Leaf has a spotless track record, so I believe their account. This puts a dent in Lillard's ability to suss out fakes of his own autograph.

Who is behind the website with the article? Repeatedly calling Beckett "sleazy authenticators" doesn't sound like any sort of objective source of information. 

i think there was a disbutte that the sigs wasnt from when he was under contract years ago
