Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, two of the NBA's top scorers, have united into a dynamic duo that make the Milwaukee Bucks a formidable threat for the 2024 NBA title.
The Bucks obtained seven-time All-Star guard Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers last month and united him with seven-time All-Star center Antetokounmpo to create a powerful inside-outside combination along the lines of legends Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal.
Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee to the 2021 NBA title, delivering the Bucks' first crown in 50 years. Milwaukee erased any doubt September 27 by landing Lillard in a three-team deal that saw 14-year NBA guard Jrue Holiday sent to Portland, which four days later traded him to Boston, likely the Bucks' top rival in the East.
"I think our personalities mesh well. Our styles of play mesh well. Everything else has just happened organically in time and we've got to allow that space to happen." "I think my game complements the guys really well so it has been seamless. It hasn't been hard at all. Now it's just a matter of being able to play other teams and getting used to each other and how we're going to operate out there.""You make your way around and you start to see the level of the organization," he said. "They won a championship so it's the standard. I've been striving for that.
