The hypotheticals are now a reality for Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, as they’ve teamed up in the Milwaukee Bucks. During an NBA Preseason game, they had the chance to showcase their chemistry, and they did so against none other than the Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis.

The duo has long been suspected to be a formidable force in pick-and-roll sets, and their performance against the Lakers during the NBA Preseason reinforced this belief. Damian Lillard expressed his excitement about playing with Giannis Antetokounmpo, emphasizing how Giannis’s ability to dominate a game and secure victories is a game-changer. Lillard highlighted their offensive versatility, particularly in situations where he is double-teamed, stating, “We can do this all night.”

In this preseason game, Giannis scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds in just 15 minutes of play, while Lillard contributed 14 points and three assists in 22 minutes. Their collective effort resulted in a 108-97 victory.

The question remains whether this partnership will continue to thrive or if NBA coaches will find ways to counter this potent offensive scheme. It will be fascinating to see how this dynamic evolves as the season progresses.
