One of the reasons why the Milwaukee Bucks brought in Damian Lillard is because of his elite range. In fact, you could make a case for Dame being the best three-point shooter in the NBA today who’s not named Stephen Curry.
Lillard flexed his prowess from way beyond the arc during Tuesday’s shootaround ahead of their preseason contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder — much to the delight of his Bucks teammates.
Logo Lillard Makes Debut in Milwaukee Bucks Shootaround
In the video below, it looks like the players were already near the end of their shootaround from earlier on Tuesday. They were already having a bit of fun, which appeared to include some attempts from the halfway court.
Dame gladly obliged:

Lillard took a shot from the Thunder logo which was situated right in the middle of the court. The seven-time All-Star made it look easy as he banked his attempt from nearly 50 feet out.
Clearly, logo shots are basic for Dame. We’ve seen him do it many times in the past — during actual games, no less — and there’s surely much more from where that came from now that he’s with the Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Approves
Apart from the fact that Dame busted out his famed Logo Lillard persona, the best part of this clip is how Giannis Antetokounmpo reacted to the same. You can see the Bucks talisman with his mouth left wide open as he witnessed a (literal) jaw-dropping moment from his new superstar teammate.
Lillard has already expressed how much he’s been left in awe by Giannis and what the former back-to-back MVP is able to do on the basketball court. It goes without saying that the feeling is mutual for Antetokounmpo.
