Having seen Damian Lillard’s body of work from a distance when he was a player for the Portland Trail Blazers, Giannis Antetokounmpo is aware of Lillard’s abilities. Giannis got to experience “Dаme Time” up close and personal now that the two superstars are colleagues on the Milwaukee Bucks.
Crunchtime connoisseur
Lillard has established a reputation for making baskets when it counts most, in addition to scoring a lot of baskets. He put it on full show on Sunday, when the Bucks defeated the Sacramento Kings 143-142 thanks to an amazing buzzer-beating three-pointer.Giannis discussed how the squad gave up to Lillard in the closing minutes of the game after the game.Antetokounmpo said, “I know what this guy is capable of doing.”And for that reason, we were all searching for him in the last stages. Dаme started every handoff and pick-and-roll because that’s what he does. In the last moments, he shines. He flourishes in the last stretch, and tonight, dude, he proved it.
This is what Dаme was brought in to do
The seven-time All-Star was approved for acquisition by the Bucks decision-makers especially for situations such as these. Lillard’s ability to make game-winning shots and his clutch gene were the remaining elements the Bucks needed to further establish themselves as championship contenders in the NBA.With Lillard on the squad, Giannis thinks this is only the beginning and there will be a lot more pivotal moments.”He will make many more shots like this; this won’t be the (only) time he does it.” He does it even though it may not be a buzzer-beаter and instead we could go up one or two. And we all have faith in him to take care of it for us.
