The 2023 preseason hasn’t been the kindest for the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James & Co have lost three out of their five outing this season. On the other hand, the Milwaukee Bucks had their first outing with both their superstars on the court. Following the blockbuster Damian Lillard trade, the 7x NBA All-Star and Giannis Antetokounmpo stepped on the court donning the Bucks skins for the first time. The duo led the team to a dominant victory. Notably, after the game, The Greek Freak sent out a stern message to the league.

Giannis is one of the dominant active NBA stars and the addition of Lillard raised their odds at the championship. While it remained only on the paper, the superstars brought it live during the Sunday night game. Apart from fans, the franchise superstar himself seemed to have enjoyed the new partnership.

After LeBron James & Co, Giannis drops a stern message

One of the greatest sporting leagues in the world is set to begin and superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo seems geared up for the long ride. After a disappointing end to their playoff run in last season, the Greek Nigerian superstar dropped a confident message ahead of the regular season.

Teaming up with his new partner, Damian Lillard, Giannis decimated the Lakers on their home turf. Following the victory, the Bucks superstar took to his Instagram handle and shared pictures of the game. One picture included the top three players of the team, as described by the experts off the court. Out of which, Khris Middleton is yet to be cleared to join the team. Moreover, the post included a stern message to the league. It read, “The season can’t start soon enough,” hinting at his urge to get the ball rolling.
