LOS ANGELES -- It didn't take long for Giannis Antetokounmpo to realize just how different life would be for him playing alongside seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard compared to the rest of his 11-year NBA career.
It was all but one possession into the pair's first preseason game together Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers when things became crystal clear for the two-time MVP.
"I'll be very honest," Antetokounmpo said after the Bucks' 108-97 win, "I've never been this open. And first of all, I've never seen anybody being double-teamed from the first possession of the game."
