Damian Lillard when asked what player he’d pick to help him win a championship: I would pick Giannis. I would say just the dominance. Somebody that’s going to get to the rim. He’s a good playmaker, good defender. I would bring something to the table that complements what he does and vice versa.

    Allen Iverson also chose Giannis as a player he’d wanna play with from the current era to help him win a ship and he said almost the exact same thing (on all the smoke pod)

    Full quote by Dame:

    I would pick Giannis. I mean I would say just the dominance, you know. Somebody that’s going to get to the rim. He’s a good playmaker, good defender, disruptive. The way he plays compliments the way I play. I would bring something to the table that complements what he does and vice versa.

    Well he’s got Jerami Grant, him n giannis are pretty much the same player

  3. Damn I thought he was gonna pick a guy like CJ McCollum

    He needs to do something at least. Team up with another star.

    Even outside of winning a championship, just being relevant and competing for championships will help.

    It will lead to more hate/controversy than he has now but it’s better in the end.

    I respect the loyalty from a personal standpoint but he is playing it safe and has no expectations.

    i mean, yeah, teaming up with the best player in the league would definitely help

  6. thy_armageddon

    I would too, Dame and Giannis would look very nice together.

    Dame for Jrue 2 first rounders Beachump Nwora Grayson Allen

    @bucks whats good

  8. grudgepacker

    Dame said the same thing earlier this year. Giannis was also connected to him in rumors before he re-signed with us, seems like there’s always been some mutual appreciation between the 2

  9. FLUSH_THE_TRUMP

    Replace himself with Curry in the starting lineup and he’d have already been to the Finals

  10. shiny_lustrous_poo

    I could watch Giannis and Dame PnR 50 times a game. Shit would be nuts.

    Championships? man you aint even making the playoffs

    Is this considered tampering? I guess it’s a GQ interview so the question was probably approved beforehand, but didnt Draymond get fined for similar comments about Booker?

  13. Bahamut727

    Giannis would bring dominance Dame would bring that loyalty

  14. ClydeGriffiths17

    I feel like a lot of people were saying these two should join up back when neither had won a championship.

    Clearly, there’s only one Giannis. But, what specific Giannis traits did Dame mention?

    Get to the rim efficiently. Make the extra pass if the lane isn’t there. Cover the roll/rim on the other side of the ball.

  16. Giannis can basically play with any superstars in this league
