The Milwaukee Bucks have emerged as the team to beat in the 2024 NBA championship race, thanks to a clever move that saw them acquire superstar Damian Lillard. Despite losing Jrue Holiday in the trade, the Bucks now have a dangerous lineup that includes Lillard, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, making them one of the favorites to win it all this season.

Due to that, the Bucks are confident that they will make it to the playoffs and have a genuine chance at winning the title this year. However, after winning the title, Bucks’ cornerstone Giannis Antetokounmpo said that he would drop his debut hip-hop single and jokingly claimed to feature Damian Lillard on that track.

The reason why Damian Lillard would not like it is because apart from playing basketball, he makes music under the pen name Dame DOLLA. And he has featured a lot of famous rappers on his album, so featuring on the debut track with the Greek Freak would be kinda embarrassing for him. However, apart from fun and jokes, the arrival of Damian Lillard has strengthened the Bucks’ offense, making them a formidable force on the floor.

The Bucks’ title hopes have additionally improved by their exceptional offensive performance, which includes a top-five offensive rating and a top-three effective field goal percentage. While the Bucks face heavy competition from the Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics, and Phoenix Suns their recent trade moves and strong showing this season have solidified their status as the team to watch.
