Antetokounmpo and Lillard begin to click as a pair and challenge NBA history

What starts off badly, can end well. That is what the Milwaukee Bucks are looking to demonstrate as they have found a way for all their pieces to fit together perfectly. Giannis Antetokounmpo has emerged as an inspiring example for all his teammates, and Damian Lillard is finding the spaces and rhythm necessary to display his best version.

Rooted in excellence. That's how Giannis Antetokounmpo has been for a while now, after seeing the warning signs with the poor start of the season by the Milwaukee Bucks and rolling up his sleeves to change the dynamic. Far from speculating and seeking a trade, the Greek has awakened all his teammates from their slumber, especially Damian Lillard. Proof of this is their positive record already after the impressive showdown against the Wizards, whom they defeated 125-115.

The Greek achieved a triple-double with 42 points, matching Magic Johnson's record in this regard. Giannis Antetokounmpo's historical place in the NBA is privileged, but if he were to win a ring in a project that seemed doomed, he would elevate to a legendary status. For that, he needs the best Damian Lillard, who can form a historic duo with him. Exciting times are ahead with the Milwaukee Bucks if they continue playing at this level.

This is the 3rd time Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have both recorded 25+ PTS and 10+ AST in the same game, the most by any duo in NBA history. https://t.co/zB4tcrzVHn pic.twitter.com/AxKlmIlh2B
