“His team” emotionally mature and smart 💪🏽

Imagine being Damian Lillard and an all-star, NBA champion, Finals MVP tells you it’s YOUR team. The amount of confidence he has in you. That’s gotta be stress relieving. Also what a man. Instead of listen we’re doing things my way cause my way won us the finals he goes “I’m here to win it’s your team let’s get it done” Sure says something about Giannis.

Nice game against my Sixers. I ain’t mad

Milwaukee makes the eastern conference a lot more interesting now because yes, there is only like a handful of teams that are really that good but other than Boston and Miami there’s no other team that’s probably more trustworthy to make the finals so it’s easy for ppl to just say on paper tht Milwaukee is a shoe in for the finals bt idk the playoffs have proven tht no team is untouchable and tht every team can be beaten if everyone locked in and they play together

Perfect duo other than Jokic & Murray. All time they're greater but they gotta go prove and earn that

Giannis sounds like a loser here if he is being serious about what he said. Giving your team to someone else who has never led his team pass the conference finals? What the hell are you talking about Giannis??? You are supposed to be the leader. You are the champion. You've won in the past. You are the adopted son of the city. You are the long time Buck. You are supposed to be the one leading Damian and guiding him towards a title. You are just going to come out and say that this is his (Dame's) team? Something is wrong with your mentality Giannis.

I consider Jrue Holiday a better player than Dame. Grant Hill and USA Basketball seem to agree with me. You can't win championhips without elite perimeter defense, inconsistent volume scoring by itself won't be enough. It was a bad trade and it seems Giannis isn't as smart I gave him credit for.
