Damian Lillard and the Milwaukee Bucks made a big statement last Tuesday when they completed their dominance in the 2024 NBA Cup with a decisive 97-81 win in Las Vegas over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was awarded the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. He and Lillard also were named among the All-Tournament Team, which was selected by a media panel.
Apart from Lillard and Antetokounmpo, the other members of the 2024 NBA Cup All-Tournament Team were Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Thunder, Alperen Sengun of the Houston Rockets and Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks.
