The Maxim “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish” holds true for life and sports. Everyone wants to win, but other than the efforts, nothing else is in one’s control. Damian Lillard dedicated 11 years of his career to the Portland Trail Blazers, but he never achieved his end goal. But he is still going to pursue it. And the only difference is, he is going to do in a Bucks Jersey.

Dame is very expressive of his words. Sometimes he can sing a song to let the world know how he feels about something, and sometimes all he utters are two words and the world pays attention. His current two words have put the league on notice.

Damian Lillard is ready

The second act of one’s life or one’s career is often the last surge toward something that makes any vocation worthwhile. The 33-year-old shooting ace is conscious of both his stage in life and his stage in career. He is gearing up for the second act. It could not have been more obvious than his below Instagram post before his preseason debut.

He aptly captioned the post “2nd act”, shooting a warning to everyone in the NBA that he is coming. Lillard is going through a lot of change and emotions both personally and professionally. But one constant in his life is basketball. Thus, he is summoning up all his focus and energy to make sure that his career with the Milwaukee Bucks helps him attain his ultimate goal.

All the NBA teams are already preparing for the Bucks showdown. Giannis no longer has to worry about his shooting woes or his team’s shooting in crunch times. Lillard will do that and more. And when it is the closing time, Lillard can take care of that as well. With so much firepower, the Milwaukee Bucks are gearing up for this season.

Who are the Bucks’ challengers?

In the East, the Boston Celtics have made some drastic changes to their team. They have also added the erstwhile Buck Jrue Holiday to the mix. And this could be the year when the Celtics superstar duo take their game to the next level.

Then there is the Miami Heat. Last year, they were the eighth seed that trumped the Bucks, and played in the finals. They haven’t done much this off-season, yet they are always a problem.

If the Bucks win the East, there are multiple contending teams like the Suns, the Champion Nuggets, the Lakers, and, of course, the Warriors in the West to contend. With so much parity in the league, this is going to be a fantastic season for the NBA fans. So let the games begin.
