Bucks’ Damian Lillard Issues Warning to NBA on Matchup Nightmare With Giannis Antetokounmpo

Giannis Antetokounmpo Damian Lillard Bucks NBA

Damian Lillard’s first few days as a member of the Bucks have provided a number of comments that added even more hype behind arguably the league’s best duo, as he joins Giannis Antetokounmpo. But the latest quote from Lillard falls under the category of him “saying what everyone was thinking,” as the 33-year-old broke down just how brutal it could be for NBA teams to defend Milwaukee this season.

The short version of Lillard’s evaluation is that defenses will have to choose whether to attempt to clog the paint and stop Antetokounmpo from dunking “every time” or keep him from making “nine threes.” Pick your poison.

New Milwaukee Bucks duo Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard could prove to be a deadly combination.
