Can Damian Lillard win his first NBA championship with the Bucks?
While the narrative surrounding Damian Lillard last summer was that he would join Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat, the story flipped, and he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks instead.
The guard was acquired with the hope that he and Giannis Antetokounmpo would be the one-two-punch combo that would lead the Bucks to their second title in what would be the former Blazers star's first.
The season hasn't quite seen Lillard set the floor on fire as he did with Portland, but the 33-year-old has put up performances when it matters most. He's averaging 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists.
His last five games have seen him notch up 24.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and as many assists. Lillard was a force in the team's 113-106 win over the LA Clippers on Monday, propping up 41 points in the absence of Antetokounmpo.
Milwaukee went through a phase of growing pains after they hired Doc Rivers as coach. The veteran replaced Adrian Griffin who was fired midway into the season. After the Bucks were torpedoed in the first bunch of games, they have been sharp following the All-Star break.
Damian Lillard and the Bucks are second in the East with a healthy 41-21 record and are primed to make a deep run in the postseason.
