There is still work to be done, Giannis acknowledges.
One would have assumed that a relationship like this could only exist in video games or fantasy football drafts. Nevertheless, during the yearly media day, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and seven-time All-NBA player Damian Lillard were both sporting the same Milwaukee Bucks shirts. Giannis had to check that he wasn’t dreaming by wiping his eyes. The scene in front of him was almost too genuine.
It’s amazing to have a player like Dame on the squad. He is proficient at the game and knows how to play it. Made from the same material. Giannis added of Lillard, whom the Bucks acquired in a stunning trade last week, “Wants to win, is extremely hungry.”
It is now the players’ responsibility to make sure the alliance succeeds, particularly with an NBA championship, notably Giannis and Dame. Damian is getting older and has more mileage, so it’s hard to predict how long this group’s title window will stay open.”
We’ve been operating in silence for the ten years that I’ve been here. We’ve been operating under the radar, but this kind of move puts the squad in the spotlight and generates a lot of buzz,” Giannis remarked.To be done tasksThe Bucks were seen as a serious contender for the championship even before Lillard moved to Milwaukee.
The Bucks are now regarded as the favorites to win it all in 2021 with Dame joining the team. Nevertheless, before this group can take the throne, they still have work to do.
To acclimate to their new roster members and come together as a team, the Bucks require a successful training camp and preseason.Giannis is aware that words are cheap and that action must be taken now.
We’re among the better teams in the East, in my opinion—and I think a lot of people agree with me on this. However, in the end, Giannis claimed, “it’s about what we do, not about what we believe or what other people believe.”
