Giannis Antetokounmpo quickly realized that playing alongside Damian Lillard would be extraordinary after just one offensive opportunity.
“I’ll be very honest,” Antetokounmpo said about playing with Lillard. “I’ve never been this open. And first of all, I’ve never seen anybody being double-teamed from the first possession of the game.”
Lillard conveyed a comparable feeling to his fellow Milwaukee Bucks player.
“Having another guy out there that’s just dominant,” Lillard said of Antetokounmpo. “He can dominate a game and win you a game. … First couple plays, they blitz me, they trap me and the guy that I’m releasing the ball to is Giannis.
“So, I’m just like, ‘Uh, we can do this all night.’ You know what I mean?”
