Inside the NBA reacts to Damian Lillard's IMPRESSIVE Bucks Debut 

No ones talking about Dames ZERO TURNOVERS. Unreal to do all that with no turnovers.

I don’t think Khris Middleton cares about having less shots. Feel like he’ll be more comfortable as a 3rd option. If he has a bad night it doesn’t really matter.

Even as a Lakers fan, if the Bucks go on to win the chip...I'd be just as happy and ecstatic. Giannis and Dame are players who deserve to be rooted for

DAMIAN LILLARD WELCOME TO MILWAUKEE! 39 POINTS 🤯 THE MOST FOR A DEBUT IN FRANCHISE HISTORY 👏🏻👏🏻

That’s literately a perfect Dame debut! 39 pts 17/17 FT and 0 TOs?

On behalf of myself and all PDX longtime fans, we are proud to see our favorite son finally getting the recognition and hype and playoff aspirations he could never seriously have here in Portland. Get that chip, Dollah!

5:22 - Good ole slice of Humble Chuck... "I had a good run brotha" Gotta love Chuck.

39 PTS and 0 Turnovers is crazy! 17/17 FT is out of this world. Dame was in the zone from the jump! I really hope he get his ring and become a hall of famer! 💯💪🏾

This is the perfect team because they’re all unselfish players. Middleton won’t be bothered by being the third option

Great to see Giannis use that Dream post moves from time to time

I pray to the basketball gods for a Denver Vs Milwaukee finale

Goddamn, Dame almost 40 points in this official season debut. Stay healthy, man because this gonna be dangerous. Always loved him asa Blazer but the future really looking bright as a buck.

I’m a Blazers fan and saw this coming. Tried to tell haters. This guy is good and he doesn’t care about pre season. He shows up when it matters

We all know Giannis and Dame will show up during the playoffs like they have before, it’s just a matter of if Middleton can stay healthy and be a good enough 3rd option, for the Bucks to win this year

Hearing Chuck talk about the Sixers and that situation is deep

Dame looks good in green!

I'm from Portland and the country is gonna be amazed at Lillard. He's really good.

Bucks vs Nuggets. I hope we see that finals matchup. That would be awesome!

Damn am I gonna miss Dame. But on the bright side, I now have two teams I have a reason to watch. As a lifelong Blazers fan, go Bucks.

Sixers looked crazy tonight💪😤

Im very proud of tyrese maxey his ball handling and decision making are becoming elite already. Great efforts from my sixers also great win bucks😮

Dame feels like KD felt in GSW, its so much easier when youre not the #1 focus. Pick your poison Dame or Giannis, like KD or Steph.... Middleton is their Klay and Brook is their Dray. With solid pieces around.

This is what happens when you actually surround Dame with another Star and a solid supporting cast!

damn choosing ben simmons over jimmy butler is crazy

Kelly was on FIRE! he always reminded me of Ragnar LothBrook and boyyy that man always deserves a spot on a team.

Dame is a beast in the clutch and closing minutes that’s why the bucks brought him to the team. Loads of pressure let off Gainnis shoulders especially in the closing minutes of the games.

That game was a lot closer than I would have thought. Bucks need to fix that lull that allowed Philly to come back and take the lead. But Dame Time saved the day. Philly was pretty impressive. Maxey was balling out. East isn't just Bucks and Boston. Philly will be in the mix. Let's see if Miami will join the party as well.

"And when you play with another guy, you have to let that guy be the guy." Truly one of the Shaq quotes of all time

Chuck is right about Hadren homeboy got to go for anybody at this point 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

So happy to see you guys back at it . Best in business!

Khris Middleton at this stage of his career would be really good in a 10-15 shot per night role (aka a third option). The injuries have taken a little juice out of his game and even at his best he was really never a high level second option, but he can definitely be a high level third option.

Chuck had 3 key adjustments as the main one there😂

bucks are so much better now they have a closer.

Dame being Dame. Bitter sweet. Blazer fan here feeling all the sad feels. I wish him nothing but the best always.

Bucks in 4 heat fans punching the air rn

Bucks are gonna blow a lotta teams out. That said, at the end of close games, you're gonna have to stop Dame 1 on 1. Those high double horns screens, you can't leave Brook at the line, you better not let Giannis just free to the rim ..... damn it hit different in 3D

To be honest it didn't even seem like the sixers need Harden. At least for this ome game. And this was against Milwaukee, arguably the best team in the league. I think if they let him go they'll be fine. Oubre and Maxey got it

Middleton goes from being a very mid 2nd option to the leagues best 3rd option. If he’s ok with that, this is easily the best starting 5. Their only obstacle will be that bench depth in a grindy Eastern Conference.

Charles gave like three different keys for the bucks 😂

Lillard is UNREAL

Dame really just looked comfortable out there and is probably in MVP contention having this supporting cast

I think Middleton's going to be just fine. Finally, no weight on his shoulders, no need for him to drop 30+ so he can just relax and play. Bucks look scary.

Love the beat in the background 🔥

Omg sooo happy they’re back!!! I missed these guys so much 😅

Bobby Portis taking shots is rare

The fact they not talkin about maxey is crazy

Bucks really need working on their chemistry,when they do they unstoppable

Ok….but can we talk about how insane the coaching staff has to be to have KELLY OUBRE ON THE BENCH. That stat line is unreal

“Like, yo man”. -sir Charles. Missed this show so happy it’s back!!!!

charles saw himself going further and further down a list and said "i had a good run buddy" 😂😂 goat

That’s gonna be a sick duo this season. I don’t watch much basketball so I don’t know how good the rest of their team is so I won’t say they will win it all but those two are gonna be fun to watch

17 for 17 from the line with 0 turnovers!

Dame already gets his flowers but a ring could slingshot his legacy… he’s a killer

TNT is Back, clear analysis. It's Dame Time. Chip Time. Go Bucks

6ers need to let harden go and let maxes run point

AS THE SEASON GOES ON .. DAME GONNA MAKE LIFE SO MUCH EASIER FOR GIANNIS ..

I always wonder what's up with oubre he never seems to land a long term deal and he quietly has had a good career he's always been. In shaky situations except what that 8 seeded warriors team. Idk maybe people view him as lazy but he can ball

Giannis said come get it AND DO WHAT YOU DO💪🏾😎🔥

This is gonna be a great season, i hope every player stay healthy 🙏

That intro was hard asf 🔥 “Dame Time knows no boundaries”

First game I ever went to was Lob City Clippers vs Dame and Aldridge on the Blazers. So crazy seeing him in a Bucks uniform. Hope he can win a chip

I may be wrong, but the X factor could be Marjon B for the Bucks. Everyone’s talking about the other guys and rightfully so, but the kid can play d and hits big shots. 2nd year player that put on muscle in the off season and looks the part. That 2nd unit really took it to Philly and didn’t miss a beat in the 2nd Q.

Bucks better not choke in playoffs this year

We all know where he wanted to go but I think dame channeling that frustration. This man on demon time forget a dame time

As a heat fan I’m hurt but as a nba fan DAME⏰

The way dame bounced off him trying to bump Giannis 😂😂😂

Charles Barkley: "The biggest adjustment is gonna be Giannis" "The biggest adjustment is gonna be Khris Middleton" "The key is gonna be the coach" "As I said, Khris Middleton is really gonna be the key" "Winning is going to cure everything, and that's the key" Gotta love Chuck 😂

dame is going to go absolutely bonkers this year... I would expect his ppg to go down but his efficiency is going to go up with all the open looks from giannis.

Chuck must make the most on this cast cause he sure do dominate that microphone

When the Big Dawg (Giannis) is willing to make sacrifices for a win then the rest will only surely fall in line... They got Dame Time and it's all about building the smart way. This team is going to be lethal. As mentioned by @flysocietyZx that zero turnovers from Dame is mind-blowing. Bucks are going to be Buck-Wild this season 🔥🔥🔥

17 FT is crazy

That Giannis self pass for the Dame three, that Giannis charge reversed to no call, Embiid getting fouled overturned to bucks ball, etc. great games ref

Milwaukee, the city, is gonna have a great year at the arena. Let the good times roll.

I can't remember the last time the Bucks had someone who could go 17 for 17 at the FT line. That's better than Ray Allen and even Steph Curry.

And he had 0 turnover. Unreal

Dame is a different Type of cold Let’s Go Bucks

Khris Middleton like daaaaaaam i aint playing no more lol 😂❤

Love it that dame is in this new situation

love how they checked ernie and didnt let him defend the refs on that Giannis travel.

That ending tho. 😂😅

Chuck was speaking facts! Loved what he said. Him n Kenny! . Everybody said the right things fr

That flop Joel Embiid did at 1:26 is insane, bro about to hurt himself

This beat is 🔥🔥🔥

I was there and it was awesome! However it was tough to see the Bucks keep getting a sizable lead then watch Philly close it. Nail biter !

Best team for him to be on I always said if dame just had a team that play real Defense he can get a chip

17 free throws is insane..

Dame time + Greek time = Championship. lets go dame

Shaq with the grunt at the end. Eating him inside that Chuck was shown at the list and he wasnt lol

Could you imagine having your 1st NBA coaching job having Giannis and Dame?? 😂😂

I stay 5 min away from our area with season tickets 😁

let’s have them react to the foul baiting and no call on the giannis travel

Chuck looks like he spent the whole summer on the golf course

Damian Lillard was a loyal star for the Portland Trail Blazers. He spent nine seasons with the team, leading them to eight playoff appearances and two conference finals. He was beloved by the fans, who admired his clutch performances and his dedication to the city. He was also respected by his peers, who praised his leadership and his character. He was one of the rare superstars who never demanded a trade or joined a superteam. But loyalty has its limits. Lillard grew tired of the Blazers’ inability to surround him with enough talent to compete for a championship. He felt that he deserved better, that he had given everything he could to the franchise and the community, but it was not enough. He wanted to win, not just make the playoffs. He wanted to be remembered as a champion, not just a scorer. He wanted to fulfill his potential, not just settle for mediocrity. So he made a tough decision. He asked for a trade, breaking the hearts of many Blazers fans and shocking the NBA world. He joined the Milwaukee Bucks, who had just won the title in 2021 with Giannis Antetokounmpo as their leader. He formed a formidable duo with the Greek Freak, hoping to create a dynasty in the East. He left behind his legacy in Portland, hoping to start a new one in Milwaukee. Was he right or wrong? Was he loyal or disloyal? Was he selfish or selfless? These are questions that only he can answer. But one thing is certain: he changed his destiny. He chose a different path, one that he believed would lead him to glory. He sacrificed his comfort for his ambition, his love for his passion, his loyalty for his dream.

Dame had the craziest 40 ever the bouta do something crazy 😧 3:07 Shaq voice

6:35 yes Giannis is unselfish indeed, but Jokic also exists

Sketchers dame is crazy

Dame: I have prayed for times like this.!

Damian came to play.

Impressive 🏀☝🏾

He was amazing offensively tonight and the bucks lucked out to win the game at home against a short handed sixers team.
