Just recently, Dani Olmo used Damian Lillard‘s Dame Time celebration after FC Barcelona won their La Liga match against Ray Vallecano. This prompted the Milwaukee Bucks to react after the soccer star’s tribute went viral.
In a recent La Liga game, Olmo paid homage to Lillard with the iconic Dame Time celebration after scoring a game-winning goal against Rayo Vallecano. This tribute came as Olmo pointed to his wrist, mimicking the star’s signature gesture that signifies clutch moments in basketball.
Throughout his career, Lillard has been known for his ability to perform under pressure, leading to numerous memorable playoff moments, including dramatic three-point shots that have defined his legacy. His celebration debuted during the 2014-15 NBA season and has been used by the All-Star guard until now. It has since become a symbol of the All-Star’s competitive spirit.
As Lillard prepares for a new season, fans are eager to see if he will deliver more thrilling moments reminiscent of his past performances. If all goes well, the All-Star guard and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo can move past their disappointing campaign last season and exceed what they accomplished then.
