Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are one of the hottest duos in the NBA right now.

The two have become a media sensation and have often appeared in multiple interviews together.

In their latest interview, Antetokounmpo talked about Lillard’s role with the team and how much he wanted him to contribute. In the video, Antetokounmpo states that he is “about the sacrifice and about putting in the work.” He also adds that he believes in Lillard, and while Antetokounmpo might be on the Bucks, the Bucks are Lillard’s team.
