Lillard started with one of the greats of the game LeBron James from the LA Lakers, then he went on to name another legend of the game, Stephen Curry from the Warriors, who simply needs no introduction. One of the most clutch players of all time. Then he went with more heavyweights Kevin Durant from the Suns, and Bam Adebayo from the Heat.
Though fans all over the internet are impressed by Damian Lillard’s team, some are surprised that a certain teammate of Lillard who goes by the name of Giannis Antetokounmpo is not on the roster. Fans are pointing out that Giannis Antetokounmpo deserves to be on the list more than Bam Adebayo.

Fans react to Damian Lillard’s 5-a-side team
“Bro plays with Giannis who’s a top 3 player in basketball and left him off this for “Bam” one fan wrote on X (previously Twitter)
another added “If it makes you feel better Giannis isn’t a center” pointing out that the positional problem restrained Damian Lillard from picking Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“So even tho Giannis carrying him .. he didn’t choose him LAME DAME BEHAVIOR” wrote another.
“I mean a top tier defender who can shoot the middy and give you 20points a game seems bout right.. if Giannis doesn’t create a shot soon he’s fucking cooked in the next couple years.” A Twitter user commented.
“Idk what else Dame gotta say or do for y’all to realize he wanted Miami.” another fan commented.
The Bucks have a lot of expectations of the Dame-Giannis duo and will count on them to steer the Milwaukee Bucks to glory, but in case the duo fails to deliver Buck’s higher command will be happy to let Damian Lillard go.
