The Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo-Damian Lillard hype train is now in full throttle. This is after news broke that the new superstar pairing is set to make its highly anticipated debut on Sunday — against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Crypto.com Arena, no less.
Milwaukee Bucks Fans Get Creative
The Bucks‘ official Twitter account took this opportunity to connect with their supporters on social media. The team solicited advice from the fans regarding potential nicknames for the Giannis-Dame duo. The keyboard warriors did not disappoint:

As the old saying goes, ask and you shall receive.
‘Freak Time’ Still Reigns Supreme
“Freak Time” was the initial moniker dubbed upon these two superstars. It’s a play on words between Greek Freak and Dame Time, which conveniently combine for quite a hilarious nickname.
The majority of fans on Twitter agree that the team can do no better in terms of naming their new superstar partnership:
freak time, cmon you guys had it!!

However you want to call them, what cannot be denied is that the rest of the NBA is in for a world of trouble now that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are playing under one roof. Both players have not had the chance to play with a superstar-caliber partner in their respective careers, and it’s not just Bucks fans who are excited to see these two wreak havoc on the league this coming season.
