The story featured a picture of Lillard holding the NBA Cup and standing alongside Eric Goodwin and his agent Aaron Goodwin. Govan expressed her thoughts on Lillard's win in the caption of her upload.
"Boss Moves @damianlillard" she wrote.
Lillard's agent Aaron Goodwin is behind two lucrative and some of the highest-paid contracts in the NBA. He got his client the four-year, $196 million contract with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2019 and the two-year, $122 million extension in 2022.
The Bucks became the Emirates NBA Cup champions on Tuesday after defeating the OKC Thunder 97-81. The Bucks held the Thunder on a firm defensive grip with Giannis Antetokounmpo at the center of it.
The Greek Freak was also a dominant force on the offensive end of the court. He recorded a triple-double, netting 26 points, collecting 19 rebounds, providing 10 assists and making three successful blocks.
Damian Lillard scored 23 points going 5 of 10 from downtown and 6 of 12 from the field.
Damian Lillard says he will give away the $500K he won as an NBA Cup champion
Before the NBA Cup championship game, the ESPN crew asked Damian Lillard about his plans for the prize money and the Bucks star had philanthropic ideas.
"I have been doing this a long time. So when I get it, I ain't just gonna blow it or go crazy. I'll probably go to the support staff, our training staff, the people that come in every day, all-day, when we get to go home. I'll try to do something to support them," Lillard said.
The NBA Cup also known as the In-Season Tournament has a prize money of $500K per player for the Tournament champions. So now that the Bucks have become the champions, the support and training staff can look forward to the gifts from Dame.
The Milwaukee Bucks had a terrible start to the season. They went 2-8 in their first 10 games and were a nightmare during the transition. However, they have turned the tides in their favor and are having a great run.
Dame and Antetokounmpo have found the long-needed synergy. They are the highest-scoring duo this season with 58.4 combined points per game. The Bucks have a 14-11 record and are the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference standings.
