Giannis Antetokounmpo appears to feel right at home playing alongside new Bucks addition Damian Lillard. After the team’s 108-97 preseason victory over the Lakers on Sunday night, Antetokounmpo gushed with praise for Lillard and specifically the impact he makes the initial tip of the game.
“He’s a threat, like … coming down from half court, he’s already a threat, and I’ve never played with a guy like that,” Antetokounmpo said of Lillard. “I hope I can make the game easy for him, as much as he makes it easier for me and for our team.
“I’ve been with the Bucks for, this is my 11th seas.on I’ve never seen from the first play of the game, somebody being double-teamed. It was a surprise. It’s a preseason game. It’s not a playoff game. It’s not a regular season game. It’s not an in-season tournament game, you know? … It’s a preseason game.”
