Damian Lillard is preparing for the upcoming NBA season, determined to secure his first championship victory. Currently playing as the point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, Lillard is thrilled to be a member of a powerful team. Nevertheless, he believes that the Bucks are not being taken seriously as potential title contenders. During an interview with Slam Online, he mentioned that the Bucks are being underestimated, which is a common occurrence in the league. There are emerging young teams, teams that have made trades…but when I was traded to Milwaukee, everyone was excited, saying, ‘The Bucks are going to win!’
Lillard knows big team changes attract focus. Yet he believes the Bucks will be contenders for the championship throughout the entire season.
Why Lillard Hasn’t Won a Title Yet
Looking back on his time with the Portland Trail Blazers. Lillard shared the reason behind his lack of a championship win. He highlighted the departure of LaMarcus Aldridge in 2015 as a critical moment that altered his journey. Lillard expressed on the Club 520 podcast that if Aldridge had not joined San Antonio. The Blazers would have already won at least one time.
He stated that in his first year in the league, a lot of plays were created to back Aldridge. He also thinks teaming up with him could have resulted in a championship. Currently playing for the Bucks, Lillard is excited to win the championship that has always been out of reach during his career.
Focused on Milwaukee’s Success
In a new beginning in Milwaukee, Lillard is committed to seizing this chance. Teaming up with Giannis Antetokounmpo, he becomes part of one of the most powerful duos in the league. He is prepared to guide the Bucks in their quest for a championship.
