If Damian Lillard is known for one thing, it is his loyalty to the Portland Trail Blazers. The superstar guard has stayed with the Blazers his whole career trying to bring a championship to his team. However, despite some great seasons and massive playoff performances, Lillard has not been able to deliver on that. A large part of why has been the inability of Portland to get him a second star.
Damian Lillard has never been one to consider teaming up with other stars to chase rings. He has openly spoken out against that mentality. But in the modern NBA, no star can win without another great player on the team. So when Dame was asked which player he would choose to help him win the championship, he was ready with an answer.
“‘If you were to pick a player that would help you win a championship, who would you pick?’ I would pick Giannis,” Lillard said.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is already an NBA champion, of course, and he has made it happen the way Lillard has always wanted to do it. His elite ability in the paint and his defense would also make him an ideal fit next to Lillard, and it’s safe to say that fans would love to see them play together.
NBA Fans Speculated Just How Much Damian Lillard And Giannis Antetokounmpo Would Win Together
NBA fans are always exploring hypotheticals, putting together teams of great players past and present to discuss how much they might be able to achieve. Damian Lillard choosing the Greek Freak was always going to lead to reactions, and fans had quite a bit to say about it.

“They would win at least 5.”
“There’s no limit, this is the perfect combo.”
“We’d have to wrap the league up.”
“They need to make this happen.”
“Watching these two together would be a dream come true.”
“They would sweep the whole league.”
“Dame’s shooting and Giannis in the paint? Lethal.”
“They’d win 10 straight rings together tbh.”
“I respect them both but I would also really enjoy seeing them team up.”
“They would own the NBA.”
“Someone make this come true.”
Neither Damian Lillard nor Giannis Antetokounmpo is the type to leave their teams, so this will likely never happen. However, if it did, they would easily become the best duo in the NBA. And while there is a lot to discuss with this particular hypothetical, it’s safe to say that these two teaming up would almost be unfair for the rest of the league.
