After sitting out the Milwaukee Bucks’ first two preseason games, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard will finally make their superstar duo debut. Fans will be treated to their first look at this fearsome combination on Sunday when the Bucks head to Hollywood to take on the Los Angeles Lakers.
It’s safe to say at this point that Milwaukee supporters are pretty hyped about this development.
Milwaukee Bucks Fans React to Giannis-Dame Upcoming Debut
Lillard’s arrival is considered by most as the biggest offseason move throughout the NBA and he is expected to make a significant impact from the get-go. So much so, that the Bucks are now considered one of the favorites to go all the way and win another championship this coming season.
For his part, Giannis has not had a chance to play alongside a superstar of Lillard’s caliber throughout his career. The same can be said about Dame, so you just know that these two are both raring to go.
Bucks fans clearly feel the same way as well:

You can understand the hype coming from the Bucks fans. There’s no denying that it’s just a preseason game and that in truth, both Giannis and Lillard will likely play limited minutes in their first preseason appearance. Nevertheless, I’m not here to rain on anybody’s parade.
For what it’s worth, the Bucks officially open their season on October 25th against a familiar foe in the Philadelphia 76ers. You just know that the hype surrounding that game is going to be insane.
