To win the NBA championship, a talisman needs people around him who can uplift his game to a whole new level. Giannis Antetokounmpo seemed to have recognized that as Damian Lillard joined him in the city of Milwaukee. Thus, the Greek Freak set his sights on the title once again recently, making his ambitions clear.

Lillard wasted no time in following up as he started “the grind” soon after his arrival to his new team. The commitment shocked even the members of his latest franchise as the league took notice of it.

What did Damian Lillard do upon landing in Milwaukee?

The 33-year-old left his former team, the Portland Trail Blazers, as he moved to the East to earn his ring. His inclusion to the Milwaukee Bucks was met with a lot of expectation as Giannis himself talked about it publicly. The 28-year-old stated, “He gives us a chance to win a championship,” pointing out his goals for the season.

“I’m excited to play with the caliber of player that he is,” he added as the 2-time MVP praised Dame’s abilities. He appreciated the long-range dominance of the point guard, saying, “He can score the ball in his sleep and shoot the lights out”. Lillard repaid the faith in him, just moments after landing in the state of Wisconsin.

The former Rookie of the Year practiced scoring three-pointers as the Bucks’ shared it publicly. He decided to put ‘the grind’ early as he netted four consecutive threes from right behind the arch. His skills mesmerized the people present on the court as they admired his efforts.

The 7-time All-Star has made his intentions known with this move. This must be music to Giannis’ ears as he found a teammate in Lillard that he could count on at any moment. As their crossover in the Bucks jersey approaches, the fans become hopeful for one thing.

The third championship for the Bucks

It was becoming tough for the organization to repeat its achievements from two years back. What happened in 2021 seemed at one point nothing short of a fairytale. That all changed with the recent inclusion of Dame.

The 6’2 guard brings with him an array of attacking options for Milwaukee to explore. Thus, the entire league has definitely changed their opinion of the franchise since this trade. The supporters have united after a rough patch as they rate their chances for a third title quite highly now.
